Hello! I am performing coupling of chains in MCMC and I need the same value of seed for two chains. I will show demo of what I want: R code, which might show my example is: niter <- 3 nchain <- 2 tmpSeed <- 123 for (i in 1:niter) { # iterations for (j in 1:nchain) { # chains set.seed(tmpSeed) a <- runif(1) cat("iter:", i, "chain:", j,

Hello! I am trying to get specific fields from an XML document and I am totally puzzled.

Hello! I would like to get MLE for parameter lambda of Poisson distribution. I can use fitdistr() for this. After looking a bit into the code of this function I can see that value for lambda and its standard error is estimated via estimate <- mean(x) sds <- sqrt(estimate/n) Is this MLE? With my poor math/stat knowledge I thought that MLE for Poisson parameter is (in mixture of LaTeX

Hello! Has anyone successfully compiled F90 sources in R-package? I found the same question on r-devel list from 2002 and I wonder if there is any progress. I heard that g95 and gfortran can be usable. And one more thing. I have a program written in F90 and lets suppose that compiler is not a problem. I've read manual 'Writing R Extensions' and successfully loaded one F77 subroutine

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

Hello! Does R core find the following pacth usefull - I created methods for levels for list and data.frame, which can be usefull to get a list of levels for entries in a list or columns in a data.frame. Patch is attached and shown bellow example # Example > tmp <- list() > tmp$a <- factor(letters[1:10]) > tmp$b <- factor(letters[5:14]) > tmp$c <- 1:10 > tmp1 <-

Hello! New version of R has came out and I would like to thank to all developers on this matter. So I should probably upgrade. Fine and no problem. For windows I just grab the latest precompiled binnaries and install them. Then I see a report on a bug, which is or will be fixed in pacthed version. So I need to get binnaries from patched build and install them, right? How often do you people

Hello! Those of you, who use Sweave a lot, will probably find my shell script usable. You can get it at: http://www.bfro.uni-lj.si/MR/ggorjan/programs/shell/Sweave.sh No warranty, however don't hesitate to contact me if you find an error or have a patch! -- Lep pozdrav / With regards, Gregor GORJANC --------------------------------------------------------------- University of

Hello! Is it possible to set na.rm=TRUE in a global way? I'am constantly forgeting on this when performing analyses. I agree that one should be carefull with this when developing some code, but not necesarilly so in data analysis.

I'm back! I've just learned that, on a fully updated Fedora Core Linux5 sytem, the working solution to access Winbugs under wine via the R package "rbugs" no longer works. Here was my last post on this topic (with the formerly working solution) from January. http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/68497.html Currently, what happens is that WinBUGS starts up, but just

Hello! I would like to use constrain to sum coeficients of a factor to 0 instead of classical corner contraint i.e. I would like to fit a model like lm(y ~ 1 + effectA + effectB) and say get parameters intercept effectA_1 effectA_2 effectB_1 effectB_2 effectB_3 where effectA_1 represents deviation of level A_1 from intercept and sum(effectA_1, effectA_2) = 0 and the same for factor B. Is

Hello! Can someone provide me an estimate or relevant source of information on how long is command winepath available or from wich version of wine? I would need this as I work on some R[1] package R2WinBUGS[2] that calls a Windows program WinBUGS[3] and that program needs windows paths. Currently winepath or parsing of .wine/config is used and I wonder if I can remove fiddling with .wine/.config.

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

Hello! Does someone know how to produce L(y|mu) with plotmath?

Dear R developers, I have encountered strange behaviour of fitdistr for gamma in recent R build i.e. 2.2.0. I have attached the code for data at the end of this mail so you can reproduce the problem. In short, I am able to run fitdistr under 2.1.0 without problems, while I get the following error under 2.2.0 (Version 2.2.0 Patched (2005-11-15 r36348)) > fitdistr(otm, "gamma") Error

Hello, Can anybody tell me what the format of the input data file should be for this R function? Poor package documentation.
