Hi All: Package TSERIES is stated to depend on MVA. However, there is no MVA package to be found under the list of package sources. Best wishes, ANDREW tseries: Package for time series analysis Package for time series analysis with emphasis on non-linear and non-stationary modelling Version: 0.7-6 Depends: ts, mva, quadprog Date: 2001-08-27 Author: Compiled by Adrian

Hi, I am using solve.QP (from quadprog) to solve a standard quadratic programming problem: min_w -0.5*w'Qw st ... I would like solve.QP to do two things: 1) to start the optimization from a user-supplied initial condition; i.e., from a vector w_0 that satisfies the constraints, and 2) to return the values of the lagrange multiplieres associated with the constraints. I did not find an obvious

Hi, I'm using the package quadprog to solve the following quadratic programming problem. I want to minimize the function (b_1-b_2)^2+(b_3-b_4)^2 by the following constraints b_i, i=1,...,4: b_1+b_3=1 b_2+b_4=1 0.1<=b_1<=0.2 0.2<=b_2<=0.4 0.8<=b_3<=0.9 0.6<=b_4<=0.8 In my opinion the solution should be b_1=b_2=0.2 und b_3=b_4=0.8. Unfortunately R doesn't find

Hi, Thank you for the tip. I tried to re-intall R from Debian "stable", in which R's version is 1.4.0. And the installation of "mvtnorm" works. I then re-installed R yet again from Debian "unstable" (woody), in which R's version is 1.5.1. The installation of "mvtnorm" fails again with the same error message. Another package that failed with the

Dear Sirs, I am trying to perform a garch analysis to some data time series.Therefore, I've downloaded the package "tseries", as the garch analysis is not available in the main R program.When I try to load the "tseries package" from the R-Console screen, the following message appears: local({pkg <- select.list(sort(.packages(all.available = TRUE))) + if(nchar(pkg))

Hi, I have not been able to use R in my macbook pro. I am getting the following error message every time i try to install a package * installing *source* package ?Hmisc? ... ** package ?Hmisc? successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked ** libs *** arch - i386 sh: make: command not found ERROR: compilation failed for package ?Hmisc? * removing ?/Users/ravshonbek/Library/R/2.15/library/Hmisc? *

I'm unable to open an SPSS file over my network. If I copy it to my local C:/ drive I can read it. I saved the command (in a "crib sheet" text file) in order to avoid all the typing, so I'm pretty sure I've done it before. I verified that the file I'm trying to read is OK. This is what happens: > SurveyData <-

Full_Name: Ansgar Steland Version: 0.90.0 OS: Linux 6.1 FreeBSD 3.2 Submission from: (NULL) (62.104.196.10) Dear R Team, Yesterday I downloaded R 0.90.0 and the current versions of some packages (tseries, quadprog,...). I had no problems to build the program using FreeBSD 3.2 and SuSe Linux 6.1. I also re-build all packages required by tseries. I checked out portfolio.optim (package:

I have just installed the 64 bit version of R, using yum. The version is: 2.6.2-1.fc7.1.x86_64. I installed zoo without any major problem and the same with quadprog (a few warnings). However, when I came to install tseries I get the following: install.packages() Warning in install.packages() : argument 'lib' is missing: using

hello I tried to use lars() but neither with my own data nor with the sample data it works. I get in both cases the following error prompt: > data(diabetes) > par(mfrow=c(2,2)) > attach(diabetes) > x<-lars(x,y) Error in one %*% x : requires numeric matrix/vector arguments > x<-lars(x,y, type="lasso") Error in one %*% x : requires numeric matrix/vector arguments

In the documentation the closed thing I see to an explanation of this is that ?detach says "Unloading some namespaces has undesirable side effects" Can anyone explain why unloading tseries will load zoo? I don't think this behavior is specific to tseries, it's just an example. I realize one would not usually unload something that is not loaded, but I would expect it to do

Hi, Forgive a very basic question... I need to take two lists-of-lists, and apply a function to each pair of elements in the lists to return a single list... For example l1 <- list(1:5,6:10,2:15) l2 <- list(1:8,4:12,1:19,4:20) I could easily do an lapply across each of them, but is there a function that does a sort-of pairwise-apply across both together? Does anybody know of a good

I upgraded to R-2.2.1 on two PPC G5 computers today. Further I want to work with the tseries package for the first time. As root with R CMD INSTALL tseries_0.10-0.tar.gz I get the following gcc-3.3 -bundle -flat_namespace -undefined suppress -L/usr/local/lib - o tseries.so arma.o bdstest.o boot.o dsumsl.o garch.o ppsum.o tsutils.o -framework vecLib -L/usr/local/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-

I'm using R 2.1.1 and just successfully installed packages tseries, fseries. I try to run example http://www.maths.lth.se/help/R/.R/library/tseries/html/garch.html But it shows > x.arch <- garch(x, order = c(0,2)) # Fit ARCH(2) Error: couldn't find function "garch" Then I run command > help.search("garch") it shows the R information.

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

I just downloaded the windows version R version 2.4.0 alpha (2006-09-05 r39134) 1. When I downloaded the packages, the following two were not found. > utils:::menuInstallPkgs() --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- dependency ''fCalendar'' is not available dependency ''SparseM'' is not available I am not sure which other packages

G'day all, I just took over maintenance of the quadprog package from Kurt Hornik and noticed that one of the FORTRAN routines has an argument that is declared to be a LOGICAL. The R code that calls this routine (via the .Fortran interface) passes the argument down wrapped in a call to as.logical(). This was fine (and as documented) under S-Plus 3.4, for which this code was originally

Hi Dirk, It was actually Debian "testing" that has R 1.4.0. Debian "stable" has R 0.9 or something really old like that. Anyways, I did what A.J. Rossini suggested: # apt-get install libreadline4-dev Then I installed R-1.5.1 from Debian "unstable". The installation of "mvtnorm" has no trouble after this. I think that you are probably right: the

Hi All, I'm trying to do the following constrained optimization example. Maximize x1*(1-x1) + x2*(1-x2) + x3*(1-x3) s.t. x1 + x2 + x3 = 1 x1 >= 0 and x1 <= 1 x2 >= 0 and x2 <= 1 x3 >= 0 and x3 <= 1 which are the constraints. I'm expecting the answer x1=x2=x3 = 1/3. I tried the "constrOptim" function in R and I'm running into some issues. I first start off

Has there been a recent change in the behavior of binary operators? In SparseM it was, until quite recently ok to do scalar multiplication but now, > A*4 Error in A * 4 : non-numeric argument to binary operator > 4*A Error in 4 * A : non-numeric argument to binary operator > A%*%A An object of class "matrix.csr" Slot "ra": [1] 1 1 1 Slot "ja": [1] 1 2 3
