The R-exts manual says about 'Suggests' field in package DESCRIPTION: "The optional `Suggests' field uses the same syntax as `Depends' and lists packages that are not necessarily needed." However, this seems to be a suggestion you cannot refuse. If you suggest packages: (a line from DESCRIPTION): Suggests: MASS, ellipse, rgl, mgcv, akima, lattice This is what happens:

Canberra distance is defined in function `dist' (standard library `mva') as sum(|x_i - y_i| / |x_i + y_i|) Obviously this is undefined for cases where both x_i and y_i are zeros. Since double zeros are common in many data sets, this is a nuisance. In our field (from which the distance is coming), it is customary to remove double zeros: contribution to distance is zero when both x_i

Dear R folks, One of the fantastic new tools in R is `Sweave'. I have tested it so much that I know it works and produces fine documentation, and with (GNU) Emacs/ESS it is nice to work with, too. I started to have a look at including some Swoven (is that a strong verb?) documentation with my R package, but it seems that there is no model to copy among those packages that I have installed in

Message 2 of today: it works now. After re-installing R.app from the same R-2.1.0.dmg file, and fixInNamespace'ing(*) install.packages(), I managed to update 23 outdated packages from CRAN binaries for MacOS X. What I did was to: 1. change call to .install.macbinaries() into call to install.binaries() in install.packages(). install.binaries() is a function defined utils/R/aqua/GUI.R. 2. I

Dear Mr Moderator, please let me through. I want to reply to my own thread. I once subscribed to this list, but then my subscription was not accepted. Now to the business: The final failure came from missing .install.macbinary() function. I grepped R-patched sourcesand the only instance of .install.macbinary() was the call to the function in R- patched/src/library/utils/R/packages2.R (stupid

Thanks for the attention paid to my rpoblem. Please find enclosed the matrix with my dissimilarities. This is the only case in which sammon(), from the MASS package, gives me this kind of problems.

--==_Exmh_1801894504P Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Dear R folks, Initially I had a plotting routine using logarithmic y-axes that failed after repeated calls if I tried to restore the graphical parameters (which I wanted to do because I used `layout' within the routine. I tried to isolate the problem and found out that the following code with logarithmic axis is sufficient for

Dear developers, I just noticed that step() function currently prints the current model using message(), but the resulting model using print(). The relevant commands within the step() body are: if (trace) message("Start: AIC=", format(round(bAIC, 2)), "\n", cut.string(deparse(as.vector(formula(fit)))), "\n") (with example() output:) Start: AIC=190.69

However, this fails with message saying that packages xxxx_*_tar.gz is not

Dear peRsons, I have a Sweave document which demonstrates the usage of step() function. With current R version 2.5.0 the step() function was changed so that the heading of trace=TRUE output for each model is printed using command message(): if (trace) message("\nStep: AIC=", format(round(bAIC, 2)), "\n",

Hello I will be applying MDS (actually Isomap) to make a psychological "concept map" of the similarities between N concepts. I would like to scale to a large number of concepts, however, the resulting N*(N-1) pairwise similarities is prohibitive for a user survey. I'm thinking of giving people random subsets of the pairwise similarities. Does anyone have recommendations for this

Hello folks, it may be regarded as a user error to scale() your data prior to prcomp() instead of using its 'scale.' argument. However, it is a user thing that may happen and sounds a legitimate thing to do, but in that case predict() with 'newdata' can give wrong results: x <- scale(USArrests) sol <- prcomp(x) all.equal(predict(sol), predict(sol, newdata=x)) ## [1]
