I saw a Help e-mail related to MLE. Does R have a probability weighted method (PWM) estimator function? I can't seem to find anything on PWM, unless my eyes are playing trick on me. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, I have upgraded from Mandrake Linux 8.0 to Mandrake 8.1 and try to reinstall my favourite R... Everything is OK for the base software but I have trouble to get some packages installed. Specifically, for some packages, a "collect2" binary seems to be necessary during the compilation/linking process of the library, and LD complains about not finding it : Installing source

Is this a bug? > f1 <- factor(c("a", NA), levels = c("a", "NA") ) > f2 <- f1[, drop = TRUE] > f2 [1] a <NA> Levels: a <NA> I would have expected f2 to have only one level, "a". It seems to me that the code in [.factor does not follow the advice in help("factor") on how to set factor codes to be

It seems that when an argument 'mgp' is supplied to axis(), the mgp[2] value (position of tick mark labels) is honoured but the mgp[3] value (position of axis line) is ignored. Example: plot(1:5, xaxt='n', ann=FALSE) par(mgp=c(0,2,1)) axis(1, at=2:4, mgp=c(0,-2,-3)) Axis line is plotted at margin line 1, tick mark labels at line -3. Is this a bug? J. R. M. Hosking

Hi everyone, In the package POT, there is a function that computes the L-moments of a given sample (samlmu). However, to compute those L-moments, one needs to obtain the total number of combinations between two numbers, which, by the way, requires the use of a factorial. See, for example, Hosking (1990 , p. 113). How does the function "samlmu" in the package POT avoids overflows? I

Dear all: My experience in using hosking.sim to generate random time series is that it requires an n-length autocorrelation function (ACF; order 0 to n-1) to generate n-length random vectors. I have attempted to utilize shorter than n-length (i.e. truncated) ACF's with hosking.sim to generate n-length random vectors, but the function will not operate for n-length time series without the
