similar to: Strategies for S-PLUS compatibility?

Hi Folks, Sorry to raise what has probably been discussed before, but I an repeatedly struck by the comparative slowness of S-plus for Windows compared with R for Linux when doing much the same thing. I don't have a direct comparison, because they're not running on the same machine; but machine W has a faster CPU and more RAM than machine L, yet S-plus on W seems to take longer by quite

Dear R People: Is there a binary version for rorca, please? Thanks, Laura mailto: lauraholt_983 at hotmail.com R Windows 1.9.0

I'd like to add an "on.exit" flag to "reg.finalizer". Is it possible to check out the source via anon cvs? (If so, which module is preferred for this sort of thing, and which diff flags?) Tim -- Timothy H. Keitt <tkeitt@mail.utexas.edu> University of Texas at Austin

I'm trying to track down a rather critical problem. This happens both on Debian's current unstable as well a from anoncvs built this morning, reinstalling MASS. Is anyone else seeing this or am I just broken and special? 609$ /home/Rdevel/bin/R R : Copyright 2004, The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Version 1.9.0 Under development (unstable) (2004-03-04), ISBN 3-900051-00-3 R

In a quick search of the R website just now, I found no mention of a unit testing framework for R. I hope to find something in the style of Java's JUnit, or Python's unittest. Is such a thing available? Thanks, - Paul Shannon Institute for Systems Biology Seattle

Hi there, We're attempting to run an LVQ analysis over a cluster of machines via R and openMosix. R spawns several child processes simply by writing commands to several files and using system() to start a slave process. The processes migrate perfectly, and often finish with no reported errors, writing their results into respective files for the parent process to piece together.

Hi, where can I find the most up-to-date Debian packages for R and sources in USA. I will be thankful for the location that I can include in my sources.list. Are their any special recommendations or instructions for building and maintaining R on Debian? A web-link will be helpful. ---anupam. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I like R more than SAS. My job is doing research on clinical trial. But I was told that FDA only accepts the result from SAS. Is that true? TOO BAD. [[alternate HTML version deleted]]

I've been using a cvs2cl.pl (http://www.red-bean.com/cvs2cl), a nice little perl script to auto-generate GNU-style changelogs from CVS log information. This site also has a proposed XML format for changelogs, and cvs2cl can optionally produce this instead. Finally, they have an XSLT sylesheet that will convert the XML changlong format into an HTML/XHTML page. How about we borrow this tool

Yes, lots of packages do use C/Fortran code ... it would be great if there were more packages that are "pure R" especially since the advent of S4 classes and namespaces. Is it worth suggesting that we create a designation "pure R" for packages that have no external source code and encourage more of these? Indeed, now the number of packages is so big could they be classified to

When I submit more than one batch file (same programs, different parameter values, huge simulations, different result names) the only results that get saved are from the *last* batch file to finish. They are all being run in the same subdirectory (so same .RData file?) I've done: R --save BATCH infile outfile and I've also put q(save="yes") at the end of the program, but

Hi to all who suffer from rterm not shutting down in xemacs/ESS on windows NT or 2000. Also hi to those who could eventually help. Here is some more information which could help and some ENCOURAGEMENT to contribute to a solution. 1. It may be an xemacs problem but it is more likely an interaction between rterm/comint/and xemacs. In fact, the problem started occurring around version R 1.6.0. I

I probably shouldn't suggest this, because I can't volunteer to implement it. However, I bring it up in the hopes that if (1) others agree and (2) the R core group think it a good idea that a suitable volunteer will come forward. I am finding that the flood of R email messages is becoming difficult to deal with, even using filters, etc., in my email client. Would we be better

I'm seeing weird issues in methods initialization, i.e. loading marrayClasses loads Biobase, and when explicitly done, as in library(Biobase) library(marrayClasses) is fine, but when Biobase is loaded via a require statement in marrayClasses' .First.Lib, I end up with: Warning message: In the method signature for function "coerce", class "exprSet" has no

David Brahm's initial post seems to me to be filled with a mixture of bugs, wants, and needs coupled with a desire to "make" R become S-Plus. David, if S-Plus works for you, why are you bothering to convert all your code to R? No one has ever asserted that R==S (or S-Plus), and there is no reason to expect this equality to hold, ever. R is open source. If you want to change

Dear R-devel, My current research focuses upon sensitivity analyses which require [1] clusterings of patients in a baseline covariate X-space and [2] examining the distribution of within-cluster treatment differences in outcome. I have generated some primitive R code for this, but I really need to be able to interact with graphical displays of within-cluster information (local average

Hi All, I would like to use anonymous cvs, but it appears not to be working (again?). There was a discussion back in Jan-Feb about whether to continue supporting it, but it seemed that Tony Rossini got it working and the discussion left off there. Did someone decide to disable it, or is it just not working properly? Here's the details: $ cvs -d

As an R absolute beginner and an expert (very old) statistician and latex user, I'm interested in using R to produce AUTOMAGICALLY tables in latex format. I mean I would like to have the means to build an R procedure generating **FROM INSIDE** a table or a graph to be inserted directly into latex.

I've been having problems with Rterm.exe not shutting down when I exit an R (1.7.0 and 1.7.1) session from within emacs when using ESS. I've just upgraded to 5.1.24 and still have the same problems. I'm running ntemacs and winxp. I don't recall having these troubles with version 1.6.2 of R. Jeff. --- Jeff D. Hamann Hamann, Donald and Associates, Inc. PO Box 1421 Corvallis, Oregon

Hi, Anyone can tell me how to generate "A01", "A02", ..., "A99"? paste("A", 1:99, sep="") generates "A1", "A2",..., "A99". This is not what I want. Thanks for the help. -MY [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
