What exactly is strange, apart from posting a question as a bug report? Please do read the R FAQ and don't misuse R-bugs to ask questions. Hint: you most likely specified a non-existent time. When did your locale switch to DST in 1993? I don't know, of course (you haven't told us your locale) but I bet it was that day. That means the time you specified does not exist if your locale

I am wondering why my function works fine in R1.7.1 and R1.8.1 but not in R1.9.0. I thought it's an environment related problem but I can't solve it. >data weta jd 1 1 4 2 2 13 3 2 13 4 6 4 5 1 3 6 1 7 7 2 10 8 3 10 9 1 8 10 1 8 11 3 6 12 1 9 13 1 5 14 1 1 15 3 13 16 1 2 17 2 2 18 7 11 19 1 3 20 5 4

The manual entry for as.POSIX says this about time zone codes... Usage as.POSIXct(x, tz = "") tz A timezone specification to be used for the conversion... but it fails to mention what these "specifications" are. So far, I have tried... as.POSIX(x, tz="UTC") ... works, gives UTC times as.POSIX(x, tz="UTC") ... works, gives EST times as.POSIX(x,

Hi, We have a samba server 2.2.4 in a RH 6.2 Linux system. I should say that the samba server is working well except for a win2000 workstation. For this win2000, the user can mount network drive to the samba server, e.g. H: to \\sambaserver\username, it asks the password, if entered correctly. it is connected. No problem at all. However, if the user reboots the win2000, the poblem comes.

Undoubtedly a simple question: I've looked at order() and sort() in the help pages for R1.7.1. It doesn't appear that these functions are immediately suited to doing the same thing as PROC SORT DATA = BLAH; BY X Y Z; RUN; in SAS. I have also checked Frank Harrell's Hmisc library. Could someone point me in the right direction so I can sort by the levels of Z within the levels of

I''ve been trying to add unit testing for collection of models with complex relationships -- and failing miserably. Because of the complexity of the relationships, I''m using a database which validates foreign key constraints (PostgreSQL 8). I''m finding it nearly impossible to generate tests that are independent of each other. The basic problem is the DELETE then

Anybody out there successfully using the Salford Fortran compilers with R? I have created a DLL using the Salford FTN95 compiler and it works in as far I can dyn.load it, run the routines and get the right answers back. Unfortunately subsequently, sometime later, the Rgui crashes (access violation I think from the DrWatson log). The crashes depend on whether or not I paste the code as one

Say you have a POSIX object that is in UTC. How do you change the values to another timezone? If I do this: times <- strptime(times, "%H:%M:%S") times1 <- as.POSIXct(times, tz="UTC") times2 <- as.POSIXct(times, tz="CDT6CST") times1 id UTC, but times2 is still UTC, not CTD. Why? Is the only was to change time zones to add seconds to POSIX objects?

Hello all, I've had trouble converting a data.frame to a matrix (numeric) using either data.matrix() and as.matrix(). After executing one of those I end up with another data.frame with only the first column of the original data.frame. I use a window (tcltk) to let the user choose the columns he wants and then I retrieve them using the following: varstemp <-

Full_Name: Mark Bravington Version: 2.0.1 OS: Windows XP Submission from: (NULL) (140.79.22.104) 'sys.on.exit()' doesn't seem to be working, since R1.7.1 at least: soe.test <- function() { on.exit( cat( 'In exit code\n')) str( sys.on.exit()) # should display "language..." I think 12 } (A similar bug was apparently fixed for version 0.65!)

Hello, when using: rm(list=ls(all=TRUE)) and gc() command , and looking at the memory used by Rgui.exe in window2000 there is no change. this is strange . Actually I need to be sure that memory is given back to the system because the users of the application I wrote under R are opening and closing big files of data; can I rely on the gc() function under win2k?

Dear R helpers, I wish to use the "sum" operator for each row of a data frame. However, it appears that the operator acts on the entire data frame, over all columns. What is the best way to obtain row- wise operation? The following code shows my attempts so far, and their problems:- test1=array(rbinom(120,1,0.5),c(20,3)) test1[,3]=NA sum(test1[,1:2]) test1[,3][sum(test1[,1:2])>=2]=1

Hello, I'm using R1.8.1 on windows 2000 and version 1.8.1 of the tools package. I am attempting to have Sweave write files to a different directory via: testfile <- system.file("Sweave", "Sweave-test-1.Rnw", package = "tools") ## create a LaTeX file Sweave( testfile, output = "C:/temp/Sweave-test-1.tex",

Hi All, I'm using R1.8.1 on Windows XP. I'm having trouble producing an R library from source code. A colleague has written the source code, in Unix. I've copied the source code across to Windows (with the help files, data files, description and index) and am trying to compile it into a library. I've "sourced" each of the *.r files and they appear to work.

Hi, It turns out that the 'test' vector in ifelse(test, yes, no) is not recycled if it is shorter than the other arguments, e.g. > ifelse(TRUE, seq(10), -seq(10)) [1] 1 Is there any particular reason it is not recycled? If there is one indeed a warning message might be in order when someone calls ifelse with a shorter 'test'. This is R1.8.1 on RH-7.3 Thanks, Vadim

I installed R project 1.9.0 on Windows XP. The installation went well. Then, I rebooted. Next, I clicked the icon under Programs in the Start menu and received this error, "Fatal Error: Invalid HOMEDRIVE". I clicked OK to the error message. The program does not start. I went to a DOS prompt and did "echo %HOMEDRIVE%" and it returned "C:". This letter is a valid
