similar to: 'sessionInfo()' instead of 'version'

I sent the message below to r-sig-mac yesterday, but having no reply I decided to explore a bit myself and found that editing: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.3/Resources/share/make/ shlib.mk yzzy: diff shlib.mk shlib.mk~ 3c3 < include $(R_HOME)/etc/Makeconf --- > include $(R_HOME)/etc${R_ARCH}/Makeconf restored the functionality of R CMD INSTALL. Is this a known issue?

My apologies, the data can now be found at: url <- "http://www.econ.uiuc.edu/~roger/research/ebayes/velo.d" x <- scan(url,skip = 1) If I could get each of the histograms to mimic what is produced by hist(x, 100, freq = FALSE) I?ve experimented with xlim, ylim, without success so far... url: www.econ.uiuc.edu/~roger Roger Koenker email rkoenker at uiuc.edu

Thierry, I have this: if (require(MatrixModels) && require(Matrix)) { X <- model.Matrix(Terms, m, contrasts, sparse = TRUE) in my function rqss() I've tried variants of requireNamespace too without success. If I understand properly model.Matrix is from MatrixModels but it calls sparse.model.matrix which is part of Matrix, and it is the latter function that I'm not

After library(quantreg), ls("package:quantreg") will list all the names you currently export. So cat(ls("package:quantreg"), sep = ", ") will print the list in a form suitable for including

Does anyone have (good) experience converting tables of tournament results into dendrogram-like graphics? Tables, for example, like this: read.table(url("http://www.econ.uiuc.edu/~roger/research/ncaa/NCAA.d")) Any pointers appreciated.

Greetings, I'm organizing summer econometrics lunch meetings to discuss thesis work. The first meeting will be this friday July 18 12-1pm in the conference room on the third floor of Wohlers.

What is the current state of the R-art for ordered probit models, and more esoterically is there any available R strategy for ordered cauchit models, i.e. ordered multinomial alternatives with a cauchy link function. MCMC is an option, obviously, but for a univariate latent variable model this seems to be overkill... standard mle methods should be preferable. (??) Googling reveals that spss

I have a pdf scan of several pages of data from a quite famous old paper by C.S. Pierce (1873). I would like (what else?) to convert it into an R dataframe. Somewhat to my surprise the pdf seems to already be in a character recognized form, since I can search for numerical strings and they are nicely found. Of course, as is usual with such tables there are also headings and column

Negative indexing is often handy, but I'm in need of an appropriate idiom for handling cases in which the index set can be null: x <- rnorm(5) a <- 1:5 s <- rep(FALSE,5) y <- x[-a[s]] # I'd like y == x but instead one has x[-a[s]] == x[a[s]] == numeric(0), which is rather # unfortunate -- so far the best I have come up with is: as <- ifelse(length(a[s]),-a[s],TRUE)

An extremely modest proposal: It would be nice if packages could have a FAQ and if faq(package.name) would produce this faq. And if, by default faq() FAQ() would produce the admirable R faq... Apologies in advance if there is already a mechanism like this, but help.search() didn't reveal anything. url: www.econ.uiuc.edu/~roger Roger Koenker email rkoenker at

I've installed the rgl package on a Suse x86-64 machine (further details below) and it produces nice screen images. Unfortunately, rgl.snapshot attempts to make png files produces only the response "failed". For other graphics png() works fine, and capabilities indicates that it is there. If anyone has a suggestion of what might be explored at this point I'd be very

I'm writing a new predict method and would like to be able to pass an argument called "se" via the "..." mechanism. However, predict has a "se.fit" argument that wants to interpret my specification of "se" as a partially matched version of se.fit. Surely there a standard treatment for this ailment, but I can't seem to find it. url:

I'm having problems with environments and update() that I expect have a simple explanation. To illustrate, suppose I wanted to make a very primitive Tukey one-degree-of- freedom for nonadditivity test and naively wrote: nonadd <- function(formula){ f <- lm(formula) v <- f$fitted.values^2 g <- update(f, . ~ . + v) anova(f,g) } x <-

I was experimenting yesterday with a binomial make.link option for estimating student t binary response models, tentatively called gossit, and I noticed eventually that the R qt function doesn't like df < 1. Vaguely recalling that Splus didn't seem to mind such weirdness, I checked on our soon to be defunct Splus6.2 and sure enough, it produced plausible answers instead of R's
