When I run Rcmd check on a package on my Windows 2000 machine, I get a series of error messages like the following: * checking generic/method consistency ...c:\DOCUME~1\R5018~1.WOO\LOCALS~1\Temp/R utils138414013: cannot open c:DOCUME~1R5018~1.WOOLOCALS~1Temp/Rin138408157: no s uch file It looks as if a Windows style path to the temp directory is not being interpreted correctly, with backslashes

I would like to be able, inside a function, to create a new function, and use it as part of a formula as an argument to, say, gnls or nlme. for example: MyTop <- function(data=dta) { Cexp <- function(dose,A,B,m){...} Model <- as.formula(paste("y","~ Cexp(",paste(formals(Cexp),collapse =", "),")")) MyCall <-

I think this is a bug; at least this behavior is not documented in plot or plot.default. plot.default resets xaxp, and leaves xaxp reset when it exits: par(xaxp=c(0,1,4)) print(par("xaxp")) plot(c(0,1),c(0.2,0.3)) print(par("xaxp")) R.

I have a package that solves systems of ordinary differential equations coded as an R function (odesolve, on CRAN). The function is passed to R code, and c and Fortran code called by it uses lang4() and eval() to evaluate the R function inside a compiled c function to use in a compiled ODE solver. This works quite well, but can be slow. I'd like to be able to supply the name of a compiled

When I try to open a server socket on the system setup listed below, I get the following error: > a <- make.socket(port=8091,server=TRUE) Error in make.socket(port = 8091, server = TRUE) : sockets are not available on this system I just wanted to make sure that sockets were generally available for this platform (or, perhaps, I need to upgrade to 1.2.2 on this system), before I got

I'm having trouble figuring out how to create a function using "body<-" (). The help file for body() says that the argument should be a list of R expressions. However if I try that I get an error: > tmpfun <- function(a, b=2){} > body(tmpfun) <- list(expression(z <- a + b),expression(z^2)) Error in as.function.default(c(formals(f), value), envir) :

I found that predict.gnls failed with a wierd error message about a non-numeric argument to a binary vector in one of three nearly identical uses. Error in Inh/Ki : non-numeric argument to binary operator (Inh and Ki are arguments to the function used in the formula for the object whose predictions were requested). It turns out that the problem is in getCovariateFormula(). The final line in

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())

A couple of minor points about the odesolve package (which I am otherwise enjoying very much): 1. "scalar" is misspelled as "scaler" in the definitions of the rtol and atol parameters 2. it is possible to crash R by doing something dumb, e.g failing to read the documentation carefully enough and (a) returning only a vector of derivatives and not a list of (derivatives,

Probably I've just misread the documentation, but I don't understand the behavior of .Alias. Consider this (on R-1.1.1, both Windows and SGI): > tmp <- matrix(nrow=3,ncol=2) > new <- .Alias(tmp) > new[1,1] <- 1 > tmp [,1] [,2] [1,] NA NA [2,] NA NA [3,] NA NA > new [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 NA [2,] NA NA [3,] NA NA I expected tmp[1,1] to

I am having trouble getting smooth-appearing curves in figures produced as windows metafiles using R (R-1.1.1 on Windows 98). When I import them into a word processor (either MS Word 97, or WordPerfect 9.0), the figures appear only slightly bumpy on screen, but when printed, there is a clear jaggedness reminiscent of aliasing. Is there a fix for this (if the answer is "upgrade to 1.2",

Greetings, I have a meta-analysis problem in which I have fixed effects regression coefficients (and estimated standard errors) from identical models fit to different data sets. I would like to use these results to create pooled estimated regression coefficients and estimated standard errors for these pooled coefficients. In particular, I would like to estimate the model \beta_{i} = \mu +

Is there a limit on the number of pages that can be in a pdf file? I am using pdf() (on R version 1.4.1, running on Red Hat 7.1 on an Intel box) to create a large (> 300 pages) file of diagnostic plots. If I plot every figure I want to include (364 pages, according to Acroread ver. 5.0.5), neither xpdf on Linux nor Acroread ver 5.0.5 on Win98 can render the file. xpdf give the error message:

I've written an application that uses the tcltk package, and have distributed it to a few people to use here in the Agency on Windows 98 machines.

I think qqline does not do exactly what it is advertised to do ("`qqline' adds a line to a normal quantile-quantile plot which passes through the first and third quartiles."). Consider the graph: tmp <- qnorm(ppoints(10)) qqnorm(tmp) qqline(tmp) The line (which I expected go through all the points), has a slightly shallower slope than does the points plotted by qqnorm. I think

I first noticed this in gnls, but it also happens in lm, so I suspect the following phenomenon is universal in modeling functions. Modify the example from the lm help: model <- as.formula(weight ~ group) lm(model) The result will be printed: > lm(model) Call: lm(formula = model) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Coefficients: (Intercept) groupTrt 5.032 -0.371 This is because in lm,
