I have built a version of the current 1.2.2 patched version of R using Inno Setup2 (http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.htm). (That toolkit is open source (in Delphi) and was fairly easy to tame. Full details are in the R-patched sources.) This gives a single ~10Mb file, at http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/RWin/SetupR.exe The idea is that it should look very like a Windows 2000-style install, and

This example is caused by R's messing with formula environments. That's explained in ?formula, but should it not be explained in ?model.frame ? Simple test: data <- data.frame(y=rnorm(100), x=1:100) testit <- function(formula) { weights <- runif(100) glm(formula, weights=weights, data=data) } testit(y ~ x) weights is looked for in the environment of the formula, not of

Versions of the V&R libraries, VR_5.3pl025-1.tar.gz, and of tree_0.2-2.tar.gz (giving most of the functionality of S's tree system including all that I have ever used) are now available on CRAN's Vienna node, and will propagate. There is an early draft of an R user's complements on Venables & Ripley available from http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/MASS2/Compl.shtml This is

Several of you have asked about `missing' binary versions of packages for Windows on CRAN, although there was an explanation in the ReadMe. Two things have changed: 1) Workload. When I first started this, there were about 20 packages. There are now over 100 (including those in bundles). Further, I rebuilt all the packages for R-1.2.0 in December 2000, but since then more than half

Sorry, I was commenting on the previous windows version (version file says 0.5a) (the first one which ran under RW.1.0.0) I have Win NT 4.0 Service pack 5 and R is > version _ platform Windows arch x86 os Win32 system x86, Win32 status major 1 minor 0.0 year 2000 month February day 29 language R > -----Original Message----- > From: Prof Brian

Hi to R developers. In the "Details:" section of "?levels", it would be nice including the following sentence, taken from a reply from Brian Ripley: If you set two levels to be the same label, they get merged. Granted, the "Examples:" section does have a terse comment and examples from which users may imply this behaviour. Yet, the documentation would be

Windows binaries for 1.4.1 are available at http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin and will mirror across CRAN over the next couple of days. SetupR.exe in this release contains the grid and lattice packages. These have been built on the same system as the second release of rw1040 and R-patched so I do not anticipate any problems but have only been able to test them on Windows 2000. This is a

I suspect Prof. Ripley's response suffices. However, there *is* a Parzen kernel for kernel smoothing: Parzen K(z) = { 4/3 - 8z^2 + 8|z|^3 if |z| <= 1/2 8(1 -|z|)^3/3 if 1/2 < |z| <= 1 0 otherwise If I'm not mistaken, this appeared in Parzen's original 1962 paper on kernel density estimation. I also seem to recall
