similar to: R documentation -- buffer overflow? (PR#3400)

Martin Maechler asked me to restate my problem. Compiling the file (slightly modified w.r.t. the formerly attached file) that can be found at http://www.geo.uni-bayreuth.de/~martin/filetransfer/xswms2d.Rd terminates with the error message ******* Syntax error: mismatched or missing brackets in /----- ..... \----- when compiled by R CMD Rdconv -t txt xswms2d.Rd However, the file does

Hi, I have problems when calling fft_factor and fft_work directly in my C-code. Martin Maechler already told me that I should not do this -- anyway, the code works fine if the length of the vector is a multiple of 2,3,5. If the length of the vector has different form I get, in some cases, a segmentation fault when work and iwork are freed (I use C's malloc to allocate memory for work and

Dear R Core Team, I'm wondering whether it is useful that every package should allow for help(PackageName), giving some general information about the package (more/nicer than library(help=PackageName)). This man page may include some mathematical or statistical background, or contain a guideline for the package. Cheers, Martin -- Martin Schlather email:

Dear all, (sorry I got the wrong button for subscribing a minute ago) At the moment I'm writing on a package for random field simulation that I'd like to make publically availabe in near future. To this end I've asked Martin Maechler to have a look at my R-code. He was very surprised about how I perform the ".C"-calls, and encouraged me to make this request for comments.

Hi, The help for `assign' says In all the assignment operator expressions, `x' can be a name or an expression defining a part of an object to be replaced (e.g., `z[[1]]'). The name does not need to be quoted, though it can be. So I would expect that by a<-1:4 assign("a[1]",2) the first component of a gets the value 2, but the object "a[1]" is

Dear all, Paulo Ribeiro, p.ribeiro@lancaster.ac.uk, and myself noticed that R sometimes breaks down with a segmentation fault of (at least for us) unknown course. (We've read #411 and #671 in the bug report on "optim" -- the problem described there sounds familiar; but we have not found any hint on a segmentation fault.) Please find at the very end of this email the file

Dear R-devel During the last half a year I have several times encountered the following problem with optim() when using method= "L-BFGS-B". The function return a value which is clearly not the maximum (seen from printing the value each time the function is called). Some output is shown below. A few things I have observed (as I remember it): a. The problem seems to occur when the

Full_Name: David Firth Version: 1.8.0 OS: Mac OS 10.2.8 Submission from: (NULL) (80.177.12.48) In .Rd files, we use \url{stuff} to refer to a URL on the web. Just as the documentation says. Perhaps this isn't a bug, then, but certainly it's a trap for the unwary. If the construction \link{url{something}} appears in a .Rd file, then Rdconv --type=html ... gets stuck and appears

Hi, Please see the email exchanges below. I am having trouble generating output that is large enough for our needs, specifically when using the GaussRF function. However, when I wrote Dr. Schlather (the author of the GaussRF function), he indicated that there is also a limit imposed by R itself. Is this something that we can overcome? Thank you very much for any assistance you may provde.

Hi, I get an "Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)" from valgrind when using 'solve' in combination with some simple C-code. (I did not use other functions of R besides 'solve'.) In detail: running R --vanilla -d "valgrind --tool=memcheck --memcheck:leak-check=yes --num-callers=20 " and calling .Call("XXX") nd <- 3

Hello, after some discussions with Martin Maechler and Josef Leydold (WU Wien), we have felt the need for some package that should allow for an object-orientated approach to distributions. Our small group at Bayreuth now has developed a package "distr" which tries to fill this gap, implementing distributions by means of S4--classes. A mother class "Distribution" is

For nested function calls it appears that a combination of environment() and '<<-' will also work: f1 <- function() { x <- rep(NA,4) # Object to be modified by function f2 environment(f2) <- sys.frame(1) # Make f1's environment available to f2 f2(2) # Changes 2nd element of x print(x) } f2 <- function(i) { #

Hi I'm encountering some problems with coxme My data: I'm looking at the survival of animals in an experiment with 3 treatments, which came from 4 different populations, two of which were infected with a parasite and two of which were not. I'm interested if infected animals differe from uninfected ones across treatments. Factor 1: treatment (3 levels) Factor 2: infection state

Hi R-devels, I noticed that for the scheduled R 2.3.0, there is still no function df() for non-centrality != 0. Easter is quickly approaching, so as my little gift, I would like to offer you some code to fill this gap: After excluding some "unusual" cases, it amounts to differentiating the corresponding function pnf() --- which in turn leads to the function dnbeta() already available
