Hi all, I want maximum control of R, including calculation / buffer output interruption. With Rgui, pressing ESC interrupt both calculation and buffer output. However, with Rterm, ctrl-c works only in calculation, but does not interrupt buffer output: with: i <- 1 while (i > 0) i <- i + 1 which runs an infinite loop, pressing ctrl-c interrupt it. OK. But: rnorm(1000000) is not

We would like to announce the existence of a Special Interest Group in GUI development for R (R-SIG-GUI). This mailing list discusses issues concerning the development of graphical user interfaces for R, especially platform independent ones. It is a complementary tool to the R GUI web pages (http://www.r-project.org/GUI) that exist since July 2002. Best Regards, Philippe Grosjean

Sorry for entering late in the thread, but I was absent last week. I am developping an alternate GUI for R (and also Splus, Octave, Scilab, Matlab, Ox & Mathematica). The project started 3 years ago, but it is progressing slowly, since I am currently the only developer on the project and had to do it during my extra time. Now, it is going a little faster because I got some time and money

Hi, For those who are interested, I have update my R benchmark (to version 1.5.0) and also to Splus 6. They are available at: http://www.sciviews.org/other/benchmark.htm. A comparison is made between Matlab (5.3 & 6), R 1.5.0, Splus 6 rel 2, O-Matrix 5.1, Octave 2.1.31, Scilab 2.6, Rlab 2.1 and OX 3.00 under Windows 2000 pro. Overall, R is not the fastest package, but it is one of the

Hi I agree with your comments and of course you identifie the problems regarding the implementation of your suggestions. Of course we'd need bidireccional communication to implement it. I think it's impossible to do it statically. What I want with NEdit is a very ligth editor (which jedit is not) that highlights the most important language syntax, so that It becomes easier to write

Hello, I am updating my benchmark (http://www.sciviews.org/other/benchmark.htm) to recent versions of data analysis software (including R 1.6.0 and Splus 6.1), and I now run it on a Pentium IV instead of the old Celeron 500 Mhz that candidates for retirement. I test R under Windows Xp pro with and without optimized BLAS. I use the optimized Rblas.dll for P4 found on CRAN. Here are the results.

We (Kurt Hornik, Brian Ripley & I) want to propose the following change to the automatic package updating mechanisms of R: A major version number change of a package will by default disable the automatic updating of packages, because the interface of the package might have changed and hence old code might not run anymore. A recent example was the release of mclust version 2.0, which is not

Hi, In rw-FAQ, there is a paragraph about optimizing R by using a fast ATLAS library in place of the standard BLAS. It says: "BLAS support is supplied by the single DLL `R_HOME\bin\Rblas.dll', and you can add a fast BLAS just by replacing that." Do I need to recompile the whole R with the option `USE_ATLAS = YES', or is it possible to compile only Rblas.dll on each separate

Is it possible to have a slightly more elaborate description, such as: BackwardCompatibleTo: x.x-x and if the new version is _not_ backward compatible, this would be the current version number?

Hi, I am not very familiar with complex ANOVA, so, I am not sure about the formula to use with aov() in this particular case. Could someone help me? Here is my data. I have an unbalanced plan with 4 factors: "Site", "Sex", "Age" and "Individual". "Site" is a 5-level fixed factor; "Sex" is of course a 2-levels fixed factor, as is

Hi, I have a little problem that puzzles me about contradictory results returned by a bootstraped t-test (as in MASS 3rd ed p. 146) versus a permutation t-test (as in MASS 3rd ed, p 147). Data are measurements done on 100 cells in 9 slides of fish blood. With one method, cells are randomly sampled, and with the other method, the operator selects cells arbitrarily (in a way it is done usually

Well.. plans are there from a long time to rewrite SciViews completely and make it platform independent (to work on Linux/Unix and MacOS X, as well as Windows). I have done some work in this direction when time permitted, but I am pretty busy with other work. During the holidays, I will continue to work in this direction. I will try to package a first running version of SciViews compatible with

Hello, An alpha version (unstable, still in development) of SciViews-R can be downloaded from http://www.sciviews.org/SciViews-R. See also screenshots at http://www.sciviews.org/software/rconsole.htm. The SciViews R package provides functions to implement GUI features (object explorer, script with context-sensitive help and completion lists, ...) and to ease the communication with external

Hi all, After being a long time off the R and R-SIG-GUI lists, because I was working hard on SciViews, I am happy to deliver the first public version of this program. It is still v. 0.1, that is, an incomplete alpha version. It currently installs only on Windows 2000 or XP (NOT on Windows 9X/ME/Millenium, nor any other platform!). You can download it at http://www.sciviews.org. Please, note that

Hello, This message is little off-topic in R-help. Sorry for that, but not all interested people are wired yet to r-sig-gui (http://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-gui). Thanks for your comprehension. A preview version of SciViews (a Graphical User Interface for R under Windows, http://www.sciviews.org) was released a few weeks ago. Since then, the Web site recorded several

Hello, I am looking for more information about lazy loading introduced in R 2.0.0. Doing ?lazyLoad I got some and there is a 'see also' section that points to 'makeLazyLoading'... But I cannot reach this page. My problem is: I recompiled a library that uses a lot of functions from other libraries (of course I can give details if needed). I load it in my computer: library(svGUI),

Hello, Thanks to Douglas Bates, there is now a new benchmark suite (version 2.3) which is compatible with R 1.9.0 and the recent Matrix library (0.8-1 or above). You find it at http://www.sciviews.org/other/benchmark.htm. It compares R 1.9.0 under Windows with: S-PLUS 6.5, Matlab 6.0, O-Matrix 5.6, Octave 2.1.42, Scilab 2.7 and Ox 3.30. In short, R in its version 1.9.0 and with the new Matrix
