Hello to everyone! I have built CRAN task view for genetics. For now I have not submit it to CRAN yet and it can be accessible from: http://www.bfro.uni-lj.si/MR/ggorjan/software/R/Genetics.html http://www.bfro.uni-lj.si/MR/ggorjan/software/R/Genetics.ctv I have not submitted it to CRAN, since I would like first some opinion about it. Genetics is really so broad field that I belive one person

Hello, I am just beginning to use R, after several years of using S-Plus (with mixed success). I saw a recommendation on another mailing list for the Environmetrics and Spatial Task Views, as a good way for a new user to get started actually using R. The Task Views page at CRAN says: "To automatically install these views, the ctv package needs to be installed, e.g., via

Since I had too much junk cluttering my computer, I recently re-set it back to factory settings, in the process eliminating R. I now have to reload R and packages, and would like to do that via the install.views command. I have successfully downloaded the package "ctv" but R does not recognize install.views. What am I doing wrong? I am using R 2.4.0. Pierre D'Ange. "To

CRAN task views are useful, but they seem difficult to write and maintain because the XML format is rather limited (no sectioning) and the <packagelist> must be maintained manually. They are also difficult to read because the generated html and .css used are extremely basic, giving an overly dense page. Are there any markdown-like tools for writing a CTV? Is it possible to apply a

Cran task views seems to be a "once-per-session" process -- the first attempt to access views in a (RGui for Windows) session works, but subsequent attempts fail. There is a noticeably long pause before the failing call returns. Example session with two calls to "available.views" follows, but similar effects have been observed with two calls to "install.views" and

Dear all, Wouldn't it be helpful if the install.views install.packages update.packages had a "downloadonly=TRUE" flag which would allow us to download the packages and install them later (or put them in a USB stick and take them for installation on anothe PC). I am behind a firewall (Bank) and I have serious plroblem updating R or installing views (Finance, Econometrics etc.

Greetings: I'm going to encourage some students to try Bayesian ideas for hierarchical models. I want to run the WinBUGS and R examples in Tony Lancaster's An Introduction to Modern Bayesian Econometrics. That features MS Windows and "bugs" from R2WinBUGS. Today, I want to ask how people are doing this in Linux? I have found a plethora of possibilities, some of which are not

When I try to install hte Econometrics view I get the following error: CRAN task view Econometrics not available in: install.views("Econometrics") I have already install the ctv package and loaded it before trying to install the above... Any ideas as to what's going on?

Dear Willem, Personally, I use the R-forge project for the distribution CTV : https://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/ctv/ It?s an alternative option to github.

Hi all, Sorry if this doesn't end up in the thread. Tobias Verbeke forwarded that e-mail to me, because he thought I would be interested in maintaining the Programming Tools CTV. I wasn't subscribed to R-devel yet, but I would indeed like to volunteer to maintain the Programming Tools CTV. It will be my first time creating a CTV, so some guidance on getting it setup will be appreciated.

I'd strongly second the notion of using github. The biggest advantage is that others can easily contribute changes through pull requests which lifts much of the burden from your shoulders.

Hello, I've assembled a Multivariate ctv (with a lot of help from Achim Zeleis, who has now posted the view on CRAN). I'd be grateful for comments regarding missing packages / functions. Opinions on the organisation of the view would also be appreciated, as well as having any errors pointed out. I've adopted a rather broad and vague definition of "multivariate", which may

Hello! Say I have a function foo1, which has argument ... to pass various arguments to foo2 i.e. foo1 <- function(x, ...) { foo2(x, ...) } Say that foo2 accepts argument arg1 and I would like to do the following: - if foo1 is called as foo1(x) then I would like to assign some value to arg1 inside foo1 before calling foo2 arg1 <- "some value" foo2(x, arg1=arg1) - if foo1 is

Hello! I was just wondering if Sweave can work with \input or \include LaTeX commands. So, is it aware of such a possible hierarchy in documents. I would test that, but I don't have such a report available at the moment. I thought of that when I was writting shell script for Sweave from command line and I have solved that part there. -- Lep pozdrav / With regards, Gregor GORJANC
