R> order(1, na.last=NA) Error in apply(sapply(z, is.na), 1, any) : dim(X) must have a positive length This bug appears unrelated to PR#1906, and so the fix of 8/15 doesn't help. It comes from the line inside order(): ok <- !apply(sapply(z, is.na), 1, any) where z=list(1) in my example. sapply() returns a single-element vector, not a matrix, making apply() unhappy. This might

Under R-1.5.0 on Solaris 2.6: R> prettyNum(123456789, big.mark=",") [1] ",123,456,789" and that bad behavior (leading comma) spills into formatC as well: R> formatC(123456789, digits=0, format="f", big.mark=",") [1] ",123,456,789" Looks to me like a bug in src/library/base/R/format.R, in function prettyNum: B.[i.big] <-

R> round(100000/3, -2) - 33300 [1] -7.275958e-12 I would have hoped for 0. The problem seems to be specifically for negative "digits". This is in 1.3.1 on Solaris 2.6 (full description at bottom). [Apologies for making everyone read this 3 times; my bug.report() burped.] Peter Dalgaard <p.dalgaard@biostat.ku.dk> says the problem is in fround.c, which reads in part:

Environment variables set with Sys.putenv() disappear (i.e. become "") after a while, especially after heavy-duty I/O. Example: R> x <- matrix(1., 3000, 3000) R> save(x, file="myx.RData") R> Sys.putenv(HOME="/tmp") R> while (Sys.getenv("HOME") != "") {cat("ok\n"); load("myx.RData")} The loop prints

Environment variables set with Sys.putenv() "disappear" spontaneously (and somewhat randomly) when I load large datasets. This was reported in R-help by Dave Kane on June 4, 2001; I have not seen any further discussion. I'm not sure if I can report it as a "bug", since it is not entirely reproducible. Could someone try this and see if you have trouble too? The following

Hello, When I merge two dataframes, each created by read.table and containing no factors, the result has columns which have been converted to factor. I think this is a bug (and may be related to some fixed bugs, eg PR#1102, PR#1121), but will await comments before submitting. Also, I'm not sure if the bug is in merge() or in read.table(). I am using R-1.4.0 patch 1/13/02 on Solaris 2.6.

An NA in the rownames of a matrix (or dataframe) causes misalignment when the matrix is printed: R> x <- matrix(1:12, 3,4, dimnames=list(letters[1:3], LETTERS[1:4])) R> rownames(x)[2] <- NA R> x A B C D a 1 4 7 10 <NA> 2 5 8 11 c 3 6 9 12 The bug is in function Rstrlen, in src/main/printutils.c. MatrixRowLabel and MatrixColumnLabel (same file) rely on Rstrlen

In R-1.5.0pre (2002-04-08) on Solaris 2.6, the window that X11() creates has a title like: R Graphics: Device 2 (ACTIVE) o iyeP )( y except the funny characters at the end have umlauts and other accents (i.e. extended ASCII characters), and they may be different each time X11() is invoked. There is no loss of functionality; it just looks a little ugly. I saw this behavior in R-1.3.?, it

I want to put multiple plots on a page using par(mfrow), then a single title at the top. This should work, but doesn't: R> par(oma=c(0,0,4,0), mfrow=c(3,4)) R> for (i in 1:12) {plot(1); title(i)} R> ## text(10,10, ".") R> par(mfrow=c(1,1), oma=c(0,0,1,0)) R> title("Main Title") The main title does not appear. However, uncommenting the third line

The result of rowsum() in R doesn't have the dimnames I'd expect, e.g.: > rowsum(matrix(1:12, 3,4), c("Y","X","Y")) [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] 1 2 5 8 11 2 4 10 16 22 whereas S-Plus gives the more useful result: [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] X 2 5 8 11 Y 4 10 16 22 This is because R's rowsum() code gives the

If all rows are in the same "group", rowsum() returns a vector instead of a (1xN) matrix, contrary to documentation: R> print(z <- rowsum(matrix(1:12, 3,4), rep("x",3))) [1] 6 15 24 33 R> dim(z) NULL It worked correctly in version 1.4.0 but was broken by version 1.6.1. I'm currently using 1.7.1 under Solaris 2.8. --please do not edit the information

Hi, all! My project today is to write a speedy colSums(), which is a function available in S-Plus to add the columns of a matrix. Here are 4 ways to do it, with the time it took (elapsed, best of 3 trials) in both R and S-Plus: m <- matrix(1, 400, 40000) x1 <- apply(m, 2, sum) ## R=16.55 S=52.39 x2 <- as.vector(rep(1,nrow(m)) %*% m) ## R= 2.39 S= 8.52 x3 <-

formatC() is great for formatting numbers! But it would be even better if it could optionally insert commas (or semicolons), e.g. R> formatC(1234567.89, digits=2, format="f", commas=T) [1] "1,234,567.89" Here's a snippet of code that does that, which could more or less just be inserted into at the end of formatC if any R-core guru were so inclined.

In prior versions, as recent as R-1.5.0pre (2002-04-08), Tcl/Tk support worked just fine, with "configure" (no flags) finding /usr/local/lib/tclConfig.sh and /usr/local/lib/tkConfig.sh.
