similar to: Run up to R 2.0.0 for package maintainers

Maybe somebody can help me with the following questions: I have submitted Rmetrics to the CRAN server and was looking what happened. 1) The */contrib/checkSummary.html shows a table which reports the daily package check results. For my packages there is no entry in the column "r-devel", the other packages have "OK" or "WARN". What does it mean? 2) The link to

Professor Ripley thanks for this. Very much appreciated. The original subject line reflected my late-night conviction that the answer might involve passing a strange list to do.call(). Anyway, package magic is broken (only in R-devel, I might add) because I have a function called "%eq%". R-2.0.0 CMD check is stopping (I think) because it interprets the "%" as a

Dear all, I am trying to install packages with the new R 2.0.0. However for several packages, like MASS, lattice or R2HTML, I get an error like: > library(lattice) Error in library(lattice) : 'lattice' is not a valid package -- installed < 2.0.0? > However, I have just downloaded the latest versions from CRAN. As far as lattice is concerned, it seems that the Windows binary is

An updated toolchain is now being used for Windows' builds of R-devel: details are in the R-admin manual and at http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/ and http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/ Both 32- and 64-bit parts of the toolchain use v2.0.1 of the Mingw-w64 project's runtime and a beta of gcc 4.5.4: the Mingw.org project's builds are no longer used. This should mean that

Hi, I was just looking at the "CRAN Daily Package Check Results" [http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/checkSummary.html], and realized there are 1000 packages on CRAN as of today (look at row 3 in the table below). Yet another quite extraordinary milestone in R history. Last updated on 2007-04-12 11:48:32 Results for installing and checking packages using the three current flavors

Are there many packages that are orphaned, and have a better "half" much like bootstrap? Is there a listing, or directory of "recommended" packages (other than the packages downloaded with the initial R install)? Thanks, Neil Eastep.

Dear all, I am encountering some issues with my data and need some help. I am trying to run glm analysis with a presence/absence variable as response variable and several explanatory variable (time, location, presence/absence data, abundance data). First I tried to use the glm() function, however I was having 2 warnings concerning glm.fit () : # 1: glm.fit: algorithm did not converge # 2:

Hi everyone, I'm wondering how to select the "best" model when using logistf? AIC does not work neither does anova. I tried fitting a glm model but got the separation warning message so I tried using the logistf package but as I stepwise simplify the model I don't know if the simplification is motivated or not... Can anyone explain to me how I should approach this problem? I

Hi R-Experts, I'm currently using R 2.4.0 in Windows XP. I'm trying to download data from Bloomberg using the package "RBloomberg", but it fails to install the three needed packages "zoo", "chron" and 'Rbloomberg". Moreover I am not able to find "RBloomberg" package as windows binary in CRAN site as only for MAC it's given. Please

Hi, I got two questions and would really appreciate any help from here. First, is the penalized maximum likelihood estimation(Firth Type Estimation) only fit for binary response (0,1 or TRUE, FALSE)? Can it be applied to multinomial logistic regression? If yes, what's the formula for LL and U(beta_i)? Can someone point me to the right reference? Second, when I used *logistf *on a dataset with

We (Kurt Hornik, Brian Ripley & I) want to propose the following change to the automatic package updating mechanisms of R: A major version number change of a package will by default disable the automatic updating of packages, because the interface of the package might have changed and hence old code might not run anymore. A recent example was the release of mclust version 2.0, which is not

Hi, we try to do a logistic regression with the function glm. But we notice that this function don't give the same results as the SAS proc catmod (differents estimate given). We try to change the contrast on R system with: > options(contrasts=c(unordered="contr.SAS",ordered="contr.poly")) We also try with brlr and logistf functions. Unfortunately, the estimate

I am wondering whether there is a bug in rnorm. When generating rnorm(1000000) and counting the cases > 4 and the cases < (-4) I get rather unexpectedly low counts for the latter.
