But %S is not valid in C99 or POSIX, even if it is a variant in some systems. I am working on a more careful checker right now, but there will be limits to what we can catch: this was already a pretty rare example.

The following applies to scan function called with multi.line=FALSE and what=list(...). If 'what' has more members than the number of columns in the file scan() keeps reading from the next line of the file despite multi.line=FALSE. Here is a transcript of the session: # attempts to read four field whereas the file, foo, has only three per row # This is the "foo" file 1 2.1 3.2

This is as doumented, and I think you could say the same thing of seq(). BTW, sequence() allows negative inputs, and I don't think you want sum(input) in that case. I've never seen the point of sequence(), but it has been around in R for a long time. It is used in packages eRm, extRemes, hydrosanity, klaR, seas. Who knows what people have in private code, so I don't see any

There has been a recent thread on R-help on this, which resurrected concepts from bug reports PR#1228 and PR#6743. Since the discussion has included a lot of erroneous 'information' based on misunderstandings of floating-point computations, this is an attempt to set the record straight and explain the solutions adopted. The problem was that var(rep(0.02, 10)) was observed to be (on

Please do as we ask (repeatedly) and study the help page before posting. 'family' is a separate argument, not part of loess.control, as the help page correctly documents. If you use cars.lo2 <- loess(dist ~ speed, cars, family = "symmetric", control = loess.control(surface = "direct", iterations = 20)) cars.lo2$pars$iterations it prints *20*, as it is

I used the packaged "MinGW-2.0.0-3.exe" exactly as specified on http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/ - in fact I used these recommendations throughout. According to the release notes MinGW version 2.0.0 contains the following list of packages: GCC-3.2-core-20020817-1 binutils-2.13-20020903-1 mingw-runtime-2.2 w32api-2.0 gdb-5.1.1-1 make-3.79.1-20010722 (binary renamed as mingw32-make)

This example is caused by R's messing with formula environments. That's explained in ?formula, but should it not be explained in ?model.frame ? Simple test: data <- data.frame(y=rnorm(100), x=1:100) testit <- function(formula) { weights <- runif(100) glm(formula, weights=weights, data=data) } testit(y ~ x) weights is looked for in the environment of the formula, not of

Duncan, I don't know what we want, but it is not a simple matter of documenting what .dynLibs currently does. What I see as bugs are 1) the inconsistent names and types of the components returned by .dynLibs(). 2) the inconsistent inclusion or not of R_X11 in the list returned by .dynLibs(). 3) the inclusion of static info (base) by library.dynam(). 4) including loadable modules
