Dear all, following the thread http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e2/devel/07/09/4338.html regarding the bug in the partial autocorrelation function for multivariate time series. I have prepared a web page with patches and relevant information. http://www2.stat.unibo.it/giannerini/R/pacf.htm Please do not hesitate to contact me for further clarifications regards Simone --

According to ?parCapply: parRapply and parCapply always return a vector. This appears not to be the case in the following minimal reproducible example: > library(parallel) > nslaves <- 2 > cl <- makeCluster(nslaves) > X <- matrix(2,nrow=3,ncol=4) > X <- rbind(c(1,1,0,1),X) > tv <- parCapply(cl,X,FUN=function(x){ +

Dear all, I found the following behaviour > rf(5,Inf,Inf) [1] 1 1 1 1 1 but > qf(0.1,Inf,Inf) [1] NaN Warning messages: 1: In qf(0.1, Inf, Inf) : value out of range in 'lgamma' 2: In qf(p, df1, df2, lower.tail, log.p) : NaNs produced incidentally, > pf(1.00000000000001,Inf,Inf) [1] 1 > pf(1.0000000000000001,Inf,Inf) [1] 0.5 Is this the expected behaviour? Thanks

Dear all, I found the following on R 2.3.1. for Windows XPpro SP2, tested on 2 PCs AMD 64 3700+, Ati 9700 AMD Athlon 2400+, Matrox G550 Do the following: x <- as.matrix(0); fix(x) pasting a big chunk of data, for instance the one below, into a cell of the editor will crash the RGui. 333333333333333333 333333333333333333333333333 33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

Dear all, switch() called with just the EXPR argument causes R to hang so that the only way to stop it is to kill R. Reproducible example: > switch(EXPR="a") the internal C subroutine behind switch is do_switch located in R/src/main/builtin.c For convenience I reproduce it below. ***************************************************************************** SEXP attribute_hidden

Dear list, I do not know what would be the 'correct' answer to the following but I think that they should return the same value to avoid potential problems and hard to debug errors.

Dear R community, I have a question on how R manages memory allocation in .Fortran() calls under Windows. In brief, apparently, it is not possible to allocate large matrices inside a Fortran subroutine unless you pass them as arguments. If you do not act in this way RGUI crashes with a stack overflow error and acting on memory through vsize nsize ppsize and memory.limit does not help at all.

Dear All, I found the following under R 2.3.0 on WINXP (tested on 2 PCs, I do not have access to Linux from this PC, sorry ... ) > set.seed(10) > x <- ts(rnorm(6),frequency=7) > x Time Series: Start = c(1, 1) End = c(1, 6) Frequency = 7 [1] 0.01874617 -0.18425254 -1.37133055 -0.59916772 0.29454513 0.38979430 > x[24] <- NA > x Time Series: Start = c(1, 1) End = c(1, 6)

Dear all, I encountered a problem when compiling the source of R patched 2.10.0 r50499 (19-11-2009) linked to ACML single threaded (4.2.0 or 4.3.0) OS: openSuSE 11.0 x86-64 make fails when it comes to installing mgcv with the following [snip] ** R ** inst ** preparing package for lazy loading Error in loadNamespace(i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths())) : non esiste un pacchetto chiamato

Dear all, given two numeric vectors x and y, the ACF(x) at lag k is cor(x(t),x(t+k)) while the CCF(x,y) at lag k is cor(x(t),y(t-k)). See below for a simple example. > set.seed(1) > x <- rnorm(10) > y <- rnorm(10) > x [1] -0.6264538 0.1836433 -0.8356286 1.5952808 0.3295078 -0.8204684 0.4874291 0.7383247 0.5757814 -0.3053884 > y [1] 1.51178117 0.38984324

Dear all, it looks like that something is wrong with the /bin/windows/base/rpatched.html page as it seems pointing to the 2.8.1rc version. Also, I do not know if it is relevant but notice the dates of the following files on ftp://ftp.stat.math.ethz.ch/Software/CRAN/bin/windows/base/ R-2.8.1pat-win32.exe 31963 KB 22/12/2008 16.15.00 R-2.8.1rc-win32.exe 31991 KB 25/12/2008 9.30.00 thank

Dear all, the number of significant digits in summary default is digits = max(3, getOption("digits") - 3) on my platform this results to be 4. The point is that if you have, say, integer data of magnitude greater than 10^3 the command summary will produce heavily rounded results. A simple example follow: > x <- c(123456,234567,345678) > x [1] 123456 234567 345678 >

Dear all, there seems to be a problem with displayed legends when a multiple figure environment is used, see the following example: par(mfrow=c(1,2)) curve(dnorm,col=4,from=-4,to=4); legend(-4,0.3,legend="curve",lty=1,col=4) legend(-4,0.2,legend="curve",lty=1,col=4) On my machines the first time the command legend() is issued the legend box stretches over the curve.

Dear all, I think I have found a buglet in plot.ts plot.ts(x=1,type="n") # correct: does not show the plot plot.ts(x=1,y=1,type="n") # not correct: does show the plot I did not investigate the problem in depth but it could be related to the switch xy.labels, in fact plot.ts(x=1,y=1,type="n",xy.labels=TRUE) # does show the plot

minimal reproducible example plot(1,1) identify(1,1) # or locator() now, trying to close the window by clicking on the cross of the upper right corner causes Rgui (and Rterm) to crash. I see the same behaviour on 2 different Windows PC (one with Win 8.1 and one with Win 10). I did not see the problem in linux (see below) WINDOWS ************** > sessionInfo() R version 3.3.0 beta

If of any help, I can reproduce this (on Windows 7) back to at least R 3.0.3 but it's not there in R 3.0.0. (I have *not* checked with R 3.0.1 and 3.0.2 which I don't have installed). /Henrik On Tue, Apr 5, 2016 at 8:23 AM, Duncan Murdoch <murdoch.duncan at gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks, I'll track this down. > > Duncan Murdoch > > > On 05/04/2016 9:35 AM,

Dear all, I found the following behaviour with pacf() in the multivariate case, set.seed(10) x <- rnorm(1000,sd=10000) y <- rnorm(1000,sd=1) pacf(ts(cbind(x,y)),plot=FALSE,lag.max=10) Partial autocorrelations of series 'cbind(x, y)', by lag , , x x y 0.047 ( 1) 0.000 ( -1) 0.011 ( 2) 0.000 ( -2) 0.005 ( 3) 0.000 ( -3) 0.013 ( 4)

Dear all, it looks like that tabulate() does not check for the bounds of the input. Reproducible example: > b <- 1:2 > tabulate(b[1:100]) [1] 1 1 > R.version _ platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch i386 os mingw32 system i386, mingw32 status Patched major 2 minor 11.1 year 2010 month 09 day

Dear all, from the help page of quantile: "x ??? numeric vectors whose sample quantiles are wanted. Missing values are ignored." from the help page of IQR: "x ??? a numeric vector." as a matter of facts it seems that both quantile() and IQR() do not check for the presence of a numeric input. See the following: set.seed(11) x <- rbinom(n=11,size=2,prob=.5) x <-

Dear all, it looks like fix() changes the class of mts objects, here is a reproducible example (tested both on WinXP and Linux): > x <- ts(cbind(1:5,1:5)) > x Time Series: Start = 1 End = 5 Frequency = 1 Series 1 Series 2 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 4 5 5 5 > class(x) [1] "mts" "ts" > edit(x)
