Not sure whether this is a feature or bug -- but it does not appear to be documented. R1.6.1 on Windows NT 4.00.1381 Objects assigned in the Rprofile.site file (e.g. foo<-'something') are put into package:base not .GlobalEnv on startup. Objects assigned in the .Rprofile file are put into .GlobalEnv. This doesn't seem consistent to me. The objects exist in base only for the

Folks: Winnt; R1.7.0 (freshly installed) running under Rgui.exe.,MDI=yes. The following is repeatable: On startup, in my Rprofile.site file, I use winMenuAdd() etc. to install some user menus. However, they do not appear when R GUI window opens. If I minimize and restore the window, the added menus now are present. The exact same procedure under 1.6.2 with exactly the same Rprofile.site and

R-Listers: A very minor -- and maybe silly -- question just for personal enlightenment. In S (either R or S-Plus, AFAIK) when one types or pastes a trellis graphics command into the commands/console window, the graph is automatically produced: e.g., trellis.device(...) xyplot(y~x) If one puts these in a function and calls the function, the same occurs. However, if one sources in these command

All: The select.list() command brings up a "modal dialog box with a (scrollable) list of items ..." etc. -- i.e., a GUI control. I also know about winDialog, file.choose and the winMenu commands. What other such GUIisms are built into ** base ** R (I know about the tcltk package)? Or, better yet, how can I search on or list them? Many thanks. Bert Gunter Biometrics Research RY 84-16

Hi Bert, Thanks for the suggestions. I tried lme with different control parameters, and also tried using "ML", instaed of "REML", but still got the same answers. Yes, I hope some gurus on this list could give me some hints. Thanks --- "Gunter, Bert" <bert_gunter at merck.com> wrote: > But they are close. This is almost certainly a > numeric issue --

For your consideration: > z [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 NA [2,] 2 NA [3,] 3 NA > colSums(z) [1] 6 NA Correct, according to the documentation > colSums(z,na.rm=T) [1] 6 0 Surprising to me, but, as documented, correctly consistent with apply() and >sum(NULL) [1] 0 The documentation for sum() explicitly notes that the sum of an empty set is 0 by definition, so that users

R1.6.2 winnt. file.choose() gives an error if the dialog is cancelled without choosing a file. This can be easily dealt with via try(), but I would have thought that a NULL or NA return would be the expected behavior. Cheers, Bert Gunter Biometrics Research RY 84-16 Merck & Company P.O.

Hi, there might be a bug in read.delim (also read.table) in R.1.6.2. I included the correct input done in R1.6.1 first, then the wrong input in R1.6.2. The discrepancies are highlighted in red.

Dear R-help, I'm running into some strange problem compiling R 1.6.2 on Mandrake Linux 9.0. When I do ./configure --enable-R-shlib I get the following in config.log: =========================== configure:11366: checking for rl_callback_read_char in -lreadline configure:11397: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -L/usr/local/lib conftest.c -lreadline -ldl -lm >&5

Under v1.6.2, Windows NT4 OS, when a function contains an execution error and I have placed browser() in inside the function body, the call to browser is ignored. A brief example to illustrate: > foo <- function(x) { + y <- x ^ 2 + browser() + foo2(x) ## Intentional error + x ^ 3 + } > > foo(30) Called from: foo(30) Browse[1]> Error in foo(30) : couldn't find

R allows you to dynamically extend a vector by assigning past the end. So if a has length 10, then assigning to a[11] creates also a[11] with value a2[11] NA. So a is now length 11, while a2 is still length 10. So the occurrence of a[11] has a different meaning on the assigned-to side than on the assigned-from side. E.g. >a <- rep(1,10) >b <- 11 >a2 <- a >a[b] <- a2[b]

I've been successfully using a dll via dyn.load() with R1.6.0 for Windows, but when I try it under R1.6.1 it manages to crash the program completely. Has there been a change in how R1.6.1 handles dynamic loading? I couldn't spot any such changes in the documentation. This problem occurred on two different machines, and both run the code under R1.6.0 without a problem. Rob Hyndman

Dear all, I have a big problem to compile R-3.0.2 on our SUSE SLES 11 Server. Make breaks up with fortran errors and so the installation isn't successful This is a part from the make run output.: gcc-3.3 -fpic -L/usr/lib64/gcc-lib/x86_64-suse-linux/3.3.3-hammer/ -lg2c -ffloat-store -c dlamch.f -o dlamch.o dlamch.f: In function `dlamch': dlamch.f:89: warning: INTRINSIC

With the same system configuration (WinNT4 SP6 and 1.7.0), I get such a Dr Watson crash each time I try to use the Change dir... command in the File menu of Rgui.exe. I doesn't seems to happen if I do this immediately after starting R but well if I already did some computation. I don't have any problem by using directly setwd().

R 1.7.1 on Windows XP The "normal Q-Q plot" produced by plot.lm() mislabels points when the model is fitted using na.action=na.exclude. Example: x <- 1:50 y <- x + rnorm(50) y[c(5,10,15)] <- NA # insert some NA's y[40] <- 50 # add an outlier plot(lm(y ~ x, na.action=na.omit)) # outlier correctly labeled in all # four plots

Can someone in R Core please take a look at the attached patches to RSiteSearch() and its help page? I guess Jon is planning some changes on his site. Jon: could you elaborate on what the patch does?
