similar to: Lisp-stat and R? [was: Re: Status?]

I came across a quite interesting post from Ross Ihaka, thought would be good to share it and get the opinion of folks around here. I am not sure where to post this for the R community but since it has to do with development I thought or R-devel Ross Ihaka Newsgroups: comp.lang.lisp From: Ross Ihaka <ih... at stat.auckland.ac.nz> Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2008 10:35:26 +1300 Local: Tues, Jan 22

Dear R users, I was trying to install the package RXLisp by Duncan Temple Lang on a MDK 9.1 Linux machine running R 1.8.0 installed from a RPM. Unfortunately I had a problem loading the shared library into R. Since I'm a Linux newbie I was not able to solve the problem. Maybe some of you can help me. First of all I downloaded the source archive for Xlisp-Stat and for the RXlisp package.

I have written some programs in Common Lisp and I have been using SAS to pipe those programs to my lisp compiler in batch mode by using the %xlog and %xlst SAS commands. I wonder if there is in R a similar way to pipe commands to LISP so that all my work would be concentrated in R even when I have to call a LISP program? I have looked at the foreign library but this seems to adjust data types not

I was obviously fascinated by Duncan's earlier message on RXLisp. I managed to build a working version of RXLisp for OS X, by some unabashed and rather uninformed hacking. I compiled XLISP-STAT using the gcc flags -fno-common and --no-cpp-precomp (not sure if they are necessary or not, they are part of an older hack). I "make libxlisp.so", using Duncan's replacement for the

Hi, this is not an R-help post, but I found this extract below that was written by a leading mathematician back in 1999 when he was talking about statistics and computing. I found it interesting to share and I ask your opinion do you think this still holds today or things have changed? Thanks. ?...we would also like to mention that in our opinion Mathematica provides an excellent and indeed

Almost not at all, though there are a few holdouts. On a related note, I've been doing some interesting things with a branch of LispStat for CommonLisp. It'll be more interesting when

Hi, I am trying to read the "credit.lisp" file of the Japanese credit database in UCI repository, but it is in lisp format which I do not know how to read. I have not found how to do that in the foreign library http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Japanese+Credit+Screening <http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Japanese+Credit+Screening> Could anyone help me?

Hi Lisp users, I'm a user of both Common Lisp and R (GNU R). I found R has a rich collection of statistical and numerical computation functions, while it is not as extensible as Lisp (Common Lisp). I considered Lisp-Stat but its only implementation is not in the usuall Common Lisp, and the available functions in CRAN are far richer than Lisp-Stat currently has. I want to know if there is

Hi everyone! I'm developing a Libvirt bindings for Common Lisp. The project is called "Lispvirt". I created this project because I was doing a project in Lisp to manage Virtual Machines. So, I needed to implement some code using C and set up Lisp to access those methods in C. This project was becoming a mess. The better scenario is using only Lisp. That's why I started to

In porting some Common LISP code to R, I am trying to found out whether special care must be taken for the let* function. In Common LISP, "the let* block is like let except it is guaranteed to evaluate the initialization of its local variables in sequentially nested scopes, i.e. it provides an order to the binding and visibility of preceding variables.". I have included the recursive

Hi Jan, In the lisp code you provide the operators are parsed as simple symbols in a pairlist. In the R snippet, they are parsed as left-associative binary operators of equal precedence. If you unquote a call in the right-hand side, you're artificially bypassing the left-associativity of these operators. To achieve what you're looking for in a general way, you'll need a more precise

R folks, I'm curious about possible support for Lisp-style macros in R. I'm aware of the "defmacro" support for S-Plus and R discussed here: http://www.biostat.wustl.edu/archives/html/s-news/2002-10/msg00064.html but that's really just a syntactic short-cut to the run-time use of substitute() and eval(), which you could manually put into a function yourself if you cared

I mainly program in Common Lisp and use R for statistical analysis. While in R I miss the power and ease of use of Lisp, especially its many primitives such as find, member, cond, and (perhaps a bridge too far) loop. Has anyone created a package that includes R analogs to a subset of Lisp functions? Chris Elsaesser, PhD Principal Scientist, Machine Learning SPADAC Inc. 7921 Jones

Hi, if you run a server in your Emacs session you can use emacsclient to send a lisp call to the server. There's an example here: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/54156/how-can-i-query-emacs-from-a-separate-process/54161#54161 Regards, Martin Gregory On 11/10/23 11:18, Duncan Murdoch wrote: > I'm not an Emacs user, but the ESS-help mailing list (see >

Hi, I'm using R in Emacs and I'm interested in programatically knowing the details of all opened buffers; details such a buffer name, size, mode, and possibly associated filename. I've been able to write such a function in Emacs Lisp, but now I'd like to be able to call that function from R, or if that's not possible then calling it from C would be fine. Does anyone know if

I'm not an Emacs user, but the ESS-help mailing list (see ess.r-project.org) might be able to help with this.

Hi guys, there was a topic crossposted to comp.lang.scheme and comp.lang.lisp (started 18 Dec 2004) about usability of LLVM for Scheme and Lisp. Schemers gave some replies. sorry for long link: http://groups.google.de/groups?start=25&hl=de&lr=&group=comp.lang.scheme&selm=pan.2004.12.18.11.29.33.33249%40consulting.net.nz if link is skewed for you, just use google's group

I have been taking a break for the last month or so, and am only just now catching up on my email. Otherwise, I would have joined this discussion earlier. And... I apologize for the length of this, but I don't think it is overly long. >From the amount of activity in the LispStat news group (none), it seems that LispStat is dead. We all know that Luke is working on R and not on LispStat,
