similar to: pi returns 0.7 (PR#1320) (fwd)

The basic trigometric functions return their correct values. So it seems to be a problem in the definition of this constant. Jeff

This does seem to fix my problem: > Sys.getenv("http_proxy") http_proxy "http://gproxy1.pfizer.com/" > url("http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/PACKAGES",'r') description "http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/PACKAGES" class

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

Sorry, I was commenting on the previous windows version (version file says 0.5a) (the first one which ran under RW.1.0.0) I have Win NT 4.0 Service pack 5 and R is > version _ platform Windows arch x86 os Win32 system x86, Win32 status major 1 minor 0.0 year 2000 month February day 29 language R > -----Original Message----- > From: Prof Brian

Hi to R developers. In the "Details:" section of "?levels", it would be nice including the following sentence, taken from a reply from Brian Ripley: If you set two levels to be the same label, they get merged. Granted, the "Examples:" section does have a terse comment and examples from which users may imply this behaviour. Yet, the documentation would be

I suspect Prof. Ripley's response suffices. However, there *is* a Parzen kernel for kernel smoothing: Parzen K(z) = { 4/3 - 8z^2 + 8|z|^3 if |z| <= 1/2 8(1 -|z|)^3/3 if 1/2 < |z| <= 1 0 otherwise If I'm not mistaken, this appeared in Parzen's original 1962 paper on kernel density estimation. I also seem to recall

To Brian Ripley, Thanks! Yes indeed, It functions if you hit return at the prompt 1: but this had to be done for five times! Later five packages were found named NA with the description NA NA but all the rest of the 'libraries' are there in proper order with names and descriptions.
