Is CRAN having trouble or is it just me? (The web interface is very slow and install.packages() is timing out and giving me "service not available").

I am trying to extend an S3 method to work with an S4 object as well as the S3 objects it works with, but UseMethod does not seem to recognize the S4 class and dispatches to the default method. Is this to be expected or should I be looking for an error in my code? If it is not an error in my code, is there an easy way to do this, or do I have to convert the generic to S4 and then make those

Is it possible in R to call a fortran routine that sets variables in a common block and expect the values to persist when a call is made from R to a second routine that uses the common block? If not (as I suspect), is it possible to use a common block in a group of routines that are used together, for as long the routines do not return to R? Paul

I am trying to understand the missing vs default value for an argument to an S4 method. (I'm not sure if this is a bug or my confusion.) In S3 I can specify a default value for an argument and then both check if the argument was missing in the call, and use it because it takes on the default value. I do not seem to be able to do that in S4 as shown by this simplified example:

In one package (pk1) I define some S3 generics and methods. In pk2 I extend the methods to some S4 objects following the description in ?Methods, with setMethod() and setGeneric() either explicit or implicit (tried both). I export the S3 generic and methods from pk1 NAMESPACE and the S4 from pk2. This works, except when I try to use a function defined in pk1, Within the function the S4 method

I am experimenting with putting vignettes in a vignettes/ directory as suggested in the new R release news. If I understand correctly, it is now suggested that the vignette source (.Stex in my case) should be in the vignettes/ directory and the pdf should be put in the inst/doc/ directory, for the case when it is not being built by R CMD build. I am getting an error (R-2.14.0): (cd inst/doc ;

I was trying to subscribe to an RSS feed from <http://developer.r-project.org/RSSfeeds.html> but IE chokes on DTDs and Firefox also has trouble with this feed. (I'm not sure if it has trouble with DTDs in general.) I went to one of our web developers to see what I should use to read the feed, and he pointed out that the mix of RSS 2.00 and rss-0.91 looks like a mistake: <!--

Dear list, The task view on optimization does not reference a package for non linear constrained optimization problems.

I'm working on the next release of coxme (ready to start some testing), and have written major chunks of it using noweb -- very similar to Sweave except I'm generating code and documentation for the code rather than vingetes. The question: I have directory with .Rnw objects and a Makefile therein that generates most of the .R files. I don't see any guidance in the documentation

Hello, Using the dse package I have estimated a VAR model using estVARXls(). I can perform forecasts using forecast() with no problems, but when I try to use simulate() with the same model, I get the following error: Error in diag(Cov, p) : 'nrow' or 'ncol' cannot be specified when 'x' is a matrix Can anyone shed some light on the meaning of this error? How can I

Dear R users, we are trying to build a R package that includes a precompiled shared library, let's say mylib.so. We created the skeleton of the package and we moved the mylib.so file into the libs folder that we created at the same level of the folders man and R. Moreover we created the file NAMESPACE and we added the line useDynLib(mylib, .registration=TRUE). The building step seems to work

Hi, I tried to run the VARMA model in the dse package. I specified a model: > arma A(L) = 1+0.244L1 0+0.05L1 0-0.325L1 1-0.234L1 B(L) = 1-0.277L1 0+0.211L1 0-0.206L1 1+0.238L1 and have a TSdata object: > dfdata output data: Series 1 Series 2 1 "difex2" "difem2" but I get this warning message: > estMaxLik(arma, dfdata) Error in

I am trying to reformat my NEWS file so it works with news() (in R-beta as of a few days ago). I have tried several variations around Changes in version 2009.10-1 o Standardized NEWS format for function news(). o Fixed a few documentation problems found by R-2.10.0 (beta) quality checks. But news() only picks up the second entry. Suggestions? Paul
