similar to: dots and ldots in R 1.4.0

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 <-

Again, CRAN and all of its mirrors are unreachable. My impression is this happens quite often.

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.)

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

Hola! I have the following in a .Rd file: \eqn{\mbox{coef} = c(\mbox{coef}[1],\ldots, \mbox{coef}[n]) } {coef = c(coef[1], coef[2], \dots, coef[n])} However, both arguments come out in the latex file! Whats happening? Kjetil Halvorsen

Suppose, I have a file "data1" containing: 450 390 467 654 30 542 334 432 421 357 497 493 550 549 467 575 578 342 446 547 534 495 979 479 I can read this file with: scan("data1") Read 24 items [1] 450 390 467 654 30 542 334 432 421 357 497 493 550 549 467 575 578 342 446 [20] 547 534 495 979 479

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

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 have a figure on screen with a legend. I want to copy this image to EPS, and use: dev.copy2eps(file="file1.eps", width=5, height=5) The legend that looks OK on screen doesn't look OK in the PostScript image: the text extends out of the box. I try adding a fontsize command: dev.copy2eps(file="file1.eps", width=5, height=5, pointsize=5) This options seems to

I'm not sure this list is the right place for this thing. I noticed some erratic behaviour in sammon(). Running sammon on two nearly identical sets of data results in very different results. Below is an example. I create an initial configuration with cmdscale() and store it into 'vec1'. I write this to file, and read it back in again to 'vec2'. According to cor() on the three

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 list, I know I have seen this discussed before but I haven't been successful in searching for "ellipsis", "dots", "..." in the archives. I would like to filter "..." arguments according to their name, and dispatch them to two sub-functions, say fun1 and fun2. I looked at lm() but it seemed more complicated than I need as it modifies the calling

I should'nt have sent the last mail so fast. Same problem with \eqn{u_j = a_j + b x + c x^2, \quad j=1, \ldots, r-1} {u[j] = a[j] + b*x + c*x^2 j = 1,\dots,r-1} I thought the problem in the first case could have to do with the use use of \mbox{} (with the braces) within the arguments of \eqn, but here there are none braces in the arguments of \eqn{}{}. Another case giving the

Hi, I installed R 1.3.1 on HP-UX. This caused me quite some problems. These problems did not occur with the previous version I installed, which was R version 1.2.3. First, the result of configure: R is now configured for hppa-hp-hpux10.20 Source directory: . Installation directory: /opt_local/opt/R C compiler: cc -D_HPUX_SOURCE +DA1.1 +DS1.1

Hi Everyone, When I have a load of functions which have various arguments passed via the ellipsis argument it keeps on assigning them as symbol making them unusable to the function. My current work around involves using do.call but this is rather cumbersome. Does anyone know why it suddenly changes the types to symbol and if there is a way to get the actual data pointed to by the symbol? (I
