Is there a way to programmatically determine how many arguments a function accepts? In S, one can compute this as length(theFunction) - 1 and determine the parameter names as names(theFunction) due to the representation of functions. (Just in case anyone is thinking of nargs(), that is just for particular calls and does not concern itself with the function definition.)

The r-devel (1.4) code has C implementations now of the class and class<- functions in package methods, and also of as.environment. The last brings up a question (it shows up in the isas-tests test suite). as.environment(NULL) is NULL. Seems like it has to be, since NULL is the environment associated with package:base. But is.environment(NULL) is FALSE, which is also fairly natural, if we

I am writing a function to work with class I am defining. I have a question about using nargs() inside of parentheses function. nargs() shows the same for supplying 1 argument, or no arguments at all. Here is a small example: > "[.myclass"<-function(x,...) print(nargs()-1) > x<-c(1,2,3) > class(x)<-"myclass" > x[] [1] 1 > x[1] [1] 1 > x[1,2] [1] 2

Calls of the form data(package = pkg) inside a function incorrectly fail ("pkg" is a local variable). For instance, foo <- function(pkg) data(package = pkg) foo("base") Error in .find.package(package, lib.loc, verbose = verbose) : none of the packages were found ## workaround -- force argument "package" to be an expression ## (not a

Hi, Summary: I ran into some unexpected behavior in approx() and tapply() that introduced NA's in "clean" data due to (?) numerical accuracy/round off. The culprit seems to be in match() that coerces it's arguments to character, loosing precision in the process.

Hi there! Is ROracle available for Windows, please? I found a download site, but it's really for UNIX/Linux. Here is a "thought question", please: Why do the vector elements start at location 1 rather than zero, as C does? Thanks in advance!

I've just installed Mandrake Linux, then compiled R-0.65.1 . Whether because I omitted some necessary items when I selected software for installion, or because they anyway needed to be loaded afterwards, I found it necessary to load the following packages in order to compile R-0.65.1 pgcc-g77-1.1.3-3mdk.i586.rpm (Fortran g77 compiler) XFree66-devel-3.3.5-3mdk.i586.rpm (X.h etc

Hello. I am porting Splus library to R, which use S "graphics.h" and "device.h", the library makes a number of high resolution plots using these. Does anyone have an experience with similar porting? I don't really want to rewrite all C code, so any recommendation would be helpful. Thanks. --------------------------- Vadim Kutsyy vadim at kutsyy.com

Another naive stats question. I'm trying to better understand what boxplots are telling me. I think what I see is the median and the boundaries of the 1st and 3rd quartiles. The whiskers represent the range of the data unless there are points which are outside "range" (default: 1.5) times the distance from the median to that quartile. Is that right? I've read the

Hi, I have just downloaded R (v. 0.90.1) and am trying to compile it on a Sun/UNIX system running Solaris 2.6.

When I do the "make', after configuring, I get the message, "The current directory must be set to the RSI directory. Change the

Hi, Our department has detected a bug in the implementation of the Kinderman-Ramage generator for normal random variates in version 1.7.0, which can be seen from the below R session. (Consecutive calls for chisq.test(...) always gives p-values very close to 0.) We have already encountered this bug in version 1.6.2 The error is in file R-1.7.0/src/nmath/snorm.c Here is a patch for this file to
