The help topic for "profile" has a link to profile.glm in MASS which doesn't work in the HTML help. The problem is that there is no profile.glm.html file, profile.glm is just an alias for the confint help topic. It would be nice if there were a general solution to this problem (i.e. the system knew how to work with aliases), but it doesn't look easy: profile.html is in base,

Documentation and other bugs with postscript(): 1. This code crashes R (it asks for a font that isn't there): postscript() plot(0:1,0:1) text(0.5,0.5,'crash',font=6) The bug appears to be in the FixupFont routine in plot.c; on line 236, it checks that the font number is in the range 1..32. Later this crashes PostScriptStringWidth in devPS.c, because only fonts numbered 1..5

Depending on the setting of par()$usr, the 'at' setting in mtext(.., adj=0, outer=T) may cause the text to appear in an anomalous position (e. g. in the first instance below, at the left of the plot region rather than at 'at=0' in the figure region), or the text may not appear at all. If one does not set the 'at' parameter the text appears (with 'adj=0') on the

The help for options says: echo: logical. Only used in non-interactive mode, when it controls whether input is echoed. Command-line options `--quiet' and `--slave' set this initially to `FALSE'. I don't think that this is correct for me. Consider the following session: mica|junk> ls test.R mica|junk> cat test.R cat("Why was this command

The documentation for 'order()' has the following sentence: `sort.list' is the same, using only one argument put allowing partial sorting.

If a function needs to be passed as an argument to another function, default arguments to the function being passed are lost. Consider this example: fun1 <- function(x, A=c("power","constant")) { arg <- match.arg(A) cat(paste("A is:",paste(A,collapse=", "),"\narg is:",arg,"\n")) cat("formals:\n") print(formals())

Ross posted this code: persp(x, y, z, col = cm.colors(10)[floor(9 * hgt + 1)], theta = 35) I hadn't seen the cm.colors function before; it's very nice! I wanted to modify it a bit to allow the start and end colors as well as the max saturation to be specified, and I think I may have turned up a bug in the hsv() function. Here's the evidence of the bug: Look at the results of

Hi, This is (presumably?) a bug in R 1.7.0 under Windows. I have not tested it on other systems. Attachment of packages is case sensitive but not library(), resulting in multiple loadings of the same package if the library name is spelled differently. The following example loads the `tools' package, once as `tools' and once as `Tools'. This behavior is the same with all packages and

Here's a bug one of my students noticed. When you call plot() on a glm object, plot.lm gets called. The second plot it shows is supposed to give a normal QQ plot of the standard deviance residuals, but it doesn't. The glm object created by glm.fit returns something (the IRLS weights?) in fit$weights which plot.lm takes as observation weights, so you get strange residuals in the QQ
