The last line gets duplicated when a file is read like this: a <- scan(file=filename, what="", sep="\n", strip.white=c(TRUE), quiet=TRUE) (This error does not occur on Linux, the only other platform I tested.)

Anyone using the penalised partial likelihood routines in survival5 should update their version. A bug has been fixed in the S package: in coxph() models with penalised likelihood and strata it was possible in some circumstances to get an infinite loop or perhaps an incorrect answer. The new version (2.3) is on cran.r-project.org and will percolate through CRAN in the next few days. -thomas

A few of you have helpfully sent me references to WMF formats. There is also some code to _read_ it at http://www.csn.ul.ie/~caolan/docs/libwmf.html However, the issue is to _write_ WMF on R under Unix. I am told (by someone who has tried) that the problem is the if you write a WMF file according to the published specs (which were once issued by Microsoft) you find that e.g. Word does not read

Running 'make check' I get two errors: running code in 'mva-Ex.R' .../usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: meet_ (code) from /users1/kleiweg/R-1.6.0-source/library/cluster/libs/cluster.sl running code in 'tcltk-Ex.R' .../usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: Tcl_EvalObjv (code) from /users1/kleiweg/R-1.6.0-source/library/tcltk/libs/tcltk.sl Version: platform =

I use as.vector() on a data frame and I get a data frame in return. No warning. I have to use as.matrix() first. Why is that? Doesn't make sense to me. I'm using R 1.2.0 on Linux. > F <- data.frame(a = c(1,2,3), b = c(4,5,6)) > F a b 1 1 4 2 2 5 3 3 6 > V <- as.vector(F) > V a b 1 1 4 2 2 5 3 3 6 > attributes(V)

If tbl is an object of class 'dist', you can do this: a <- sammon(tbl, k=3) But you can't do this: b <- isoMDS(tbl, k=3) Wouldn't it be sensible to have identical interfaces to sammon() and isoMDS() ? I think all that would be needed is to change this: isoMDS <- function(d, y=cmdscale(d, 2), maxit=50, trace=TRUE) { ...into this: isoMDS <-

I have a package with in the documentation: in \usage : \dots in \arguments: \ldots This is how I interpreted "Use \dots for the dots in function argument lists ..., and \ldots for ellipsis dots in ordinary text" in "Writing R Extensions". When I did `R CMD check' in R version 1.3.1 all was fine. With R version 1.4.0 I get : * checking for undocumented arguments

Has anyone succeeded in compiling R on HP-UX? I'm trying to compile R version 1.1.0 on a HP-UX 10.20 machine. I run into the following problems: I got a compile error on src/unix/X11/rbitmap.c which I solved by including setjmp.h. After that, and after editing the Makefiles a bit cause gcc en ld can't find all the libraries, I finally get it to compile. Then I run "make

I want to use a shortcut for copying figures to EPS. I defined this function in .Rprofile: ps <- function(file="Rplot.eps", width=7, height=7, ...) { dev.copy2eps(file=file, width=width, height=height, ...) } This doesn't work: > data(cars) > plot(cars) > ps() Error in device(...) : Object "width" not found Can anyone tell me

Could it be possible for packages to have manuals in multiple languages? I'm not saying all manuals should be in multiple languages, but I think there should be a mechanism for package writers to add manuals in multiple languages, if they think it useful. -- Peter Kleiweg

What has changed in R for Windows from version 1.7.1 to 2.2.0 that won't allow me to build binary packages? On 1.7.1 I built a packge with this command: Rcmd build --force --binary iL04 On 2.2.0 this fails. First I had to copy sh.exe from d:\bin to c:\bin. This got me over the first hurdle. But then I got stuck at a later point. Here are the last lines of output: ---------- Making

I'm trying to declare a few date-related global variables to ease my dialplan. When I declare the following in the [globals] context of extensions.conf, I get unexpected results: YEAR = ${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%Y)} MONTH = ${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%m)} DAY = ${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%d)} TIMESTAMP = ${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)} If I evaluate these variables in the dialplan later, using exten

I'm not sure this is a bug in R. Since a few weeks I have a new PC, SuSE 8.0 installed. When running demo(graphics) I get after a few graphs: Error in title(main = "January Pie Sales", cex.main = 1.8, font.main = 1) : X11 font at size 22 could not be loaded And the demo stops. This is in R 1.6.0. I get the same in R 1.5.1 on HP-UX, but using my PC as the X-server.

The definition for dev.copy2eps contains the following line: oc$paper <- "special" The result of this is that the output will be placed in the left bottom corner of the page. Even though dev.copy2eps is meant for creating files that are to be included into other documents, you might want to print the figure directly, just to see how it will look on paper. (Of course, this will

Anyone who is interested in using optimal colour palettes should look at the work of Cindy Brewer: www.colorbrewer.org I have written code to use her colour schemes in R. It is included below. Perhaps someone may find this interesting enough to work into a package. Included also is a function showpalette, which was posted here a while back. I don't remember who wrote it. I have copied all

Dear developpers, I successfully compiled OpenSSH 2.9p1 which I get via CVS with a little modification. Patch is available at http://www.rc.tutrp.tut.ac.jp/~nakaji/install/NEWS/utils/ref/openssh_cvs-news4.diff.gz But one problem remains. In config.h.in, there is a definition about strftime function /* Define if you have the `strftime' function. */ #undef HAVE_STRFTIME but this
