formals assignment now strips attributres
The assignment form of 'formals' strips attributes (or something close
to that) from the values in the list. This wasn't intentional, was it?
The current behavior (2.0.0 through 2.1.0 on Windows at least):
> fjj <- function() x
> formals(fjj) <- list(x=c(a=2, b=4))
> fjj
function (x = c(2, 4))
x
Previous behavior:
> fjj <- function() x
> formals(fjj)

RE: tail(<matrix>) column numbers
I also vote for the 'helpful' addition on row numbers based on the original
matrix when no row names are present, with an optional argument to prevent
this behaviour.

sort of OT: bootstrap tutorial
There is now a tutorial on bootstrapping and other resampling
methods at:
http://www.burns-stat.com/pages/Tutor/bootstrap_resampling.html
Corrections and other suggestions are welcome.
The project started because a novice asked me about bootstrapping.
My response was, "How dare you bug me while I'm playing with my
cats, just google for it." My correspondent was not very impressed

partial matching in data frame subscripting
I'm not sure if the following is a bug or a feature:
> jjmat <- array(1:6, c(2,3), list(c('ABC', 'DEF'), c('xyz', 'tuv',
'qrs')))
> jjdf <- as.data.frame(jjmat)
> jjmat['AB', ]
Error: subscript out of bounds
> jjdf['AB',]
xyz tuv qrs
ABC 1 3 5
> jjmat[, 'tu']
Error: subscript out of bounds

search and missing library
I'm not sure what is going on with this one -- maybe it will make
sense to someone.
R1.9.0 under Windows 2000.
1) Start up R.
2) search() # works as expected
3) library(fBasics) # from Rmetrics
# but at least one of its required packages is not present on the machine
4) search() # nothing appears at all but the prompt
Once all of the required packages are present, then step 3 no longer

stack imbalance in contour
I'm not sure if this has much significance or not -- but
it sounds rather ominous. It doesn't appear to be new
as it happens with 2.0.0 in Linux (but the formatting of
the warning messages has improved).
> contour(array(3e10, c(10,10), list(1:10, 11:20)))
Warning: stack imbalance in 'contour', 20 then 24
Warning: stack imbalance in '.Internal', 19 then 23

draft of Comment on UCLA tech report
You may recall that there was a discussion of a technical
report from the statistical consulting group at UCLA.
I have a draft of a comment on that report, which you
can get from
http://www.burns-stat.com/pages/Flotsam/uclaRcomment_draft1.pdf
I'm interested in comments: corrections, additions, deletions.

attaching to position 1
If an attempt is made to attach to position 1, it appears to work
(not even a warning) but in fact it doesn't work as many would
expect. "search" thinks that it gets placed in position 2, but nothing
is actually there (according to "ls").
This is guaranteed to be confusing (and annoying) to people who
are used to attaching to position 1 in S-PLUS.
I'm not clear on

a proposal regarding documentation
Proposal
That a new mailing list be established
that pertains exclusively to R documentation.
The purpose of the list would be to discuss
weak sections of the documentation and
establish fixes for those weak spots.
Pro
If it works, there would be better documentation.
It would be an excellent opportunity for newish
and/or less technical people to contribute to R.
In some respects such people

following up on infinite email server loop
just to add to ted's explanation in case it helps to fix the email
server problem: below are the two Recipients and one of the two is
always contained in the repeated emails that I'm receiving. Also, of
course i don't mean to claim that the names contained in below are
doing anything to cause the problem . VEC Operator is just an example.
There are 3 or 4 others that repeat

The R Inferno
"The R Inferno" is now on the Burns Statistics website at
http://www.burns-stat.com/pages/Tutor/R_inferno.pdf
Abstract: If you are using R and you think you're in hell,
this is a map for you.
Also, I've expanded the outline concerning R on the
Burns Statistics 'Links' page. Suggestions (off-list) for
additional items are encouraged.

If you want your code to be compatible with

Re: matrix subsetting (was: [R] as(obj,
Suggest you try R 1.9.1 patched. This is what I get on
Windows XP with that:

variable colnames
Hy all,
I apologize i've used rownames instead of colnames in my first exemple. (that's why i changed the mail object) I was on mars when i wrote my question...
Every answer where correct ... but, because i've made a wrong question, people wern't able to understand...
So finally i'm speaking about colnames :
Let's be more precise:

I think the rule is that you can do anything as long as you don't
complain. If you want to complain, you must follow the instructions.

arr.ind argument to which.min and which.max
Is there a reason that 'which.min' and
'which.max' don't have an 'arr.ind'
argument?
The context in which I wanted that was
a grid search optimization, which seems
like it would be reasonably common to me.

wishlist: decreasing argument to is.unsorted
I've just realized that it could be handy
to have a 'decreasing' argument in 'is.unsorted'.
And I'm cheekily hoping someone else will
implement it.
It is easy enough to work around (with 'rev'),
but would be less hassle with an argument.
The case I have in mind uses 'is.unsorted' in
'stopifnot'.

Repetitive correlation test

Through the following code, I wanted to perform correlation test repetedly (through loop) on different combinations of variables of a data set.
Code:

sink(out)
nm = names(x)
print(nm)

two questions for R beginners
* What were your biggest misconceptions or
stumbling blocks to getting up and running
with R?
* What documents helped you the most in this
initial phase?
I especially want to hear from people who are
lazy and impatient.
Feel free to write to me off-list. Definitely
write off-list if you are just confirming what
has been said on-list.
