Hello! This is not a severe bug, but an inconsistency in update.packages(). I updated packages and I was not carefull enough to detach loaded packages. The update.packages() warrned me about this, which is fine, but at the end of the update the following warrning was issued (the whole session output can be found at the end of this mail): ... The downloaded packages are in

Hello to everyone! I have built CRAN task view for genetics. For now I have not submit it to CRAN yet and it can be accessible from: http://www.bfro.uni-lj.si/MR/ggorjan/software/R/Genetics.html http://www.bfro.uni-lj.si/MR/ggorjan/software/R/Genetics.ctv I have not submitted it to CRAN, since I would like first some opinion about it. Genetics is really so broad field that I belive one person

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.

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.

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! I am writing some functions and I repeatedly acces internal factor codes. I figured out that internal codes are 1:n where 1 represents 1st level, 2 2nd level etc. This is not documented and I wonder if this is on purpose and subject to change or would be a good idea to add this to documentation for factor? I can prepair a pacth if this is accepted. -- Lep pozdrav / With regards,

Hello! Data.frames have new rownames funcionality, however in use of colnames<- in R-devel "changes" this. Here is the example: > df1 <- data.frame(letters[1:5]) > attributes(df1) $names [1] "letters.1.5." $row.names [1] 1 2 3 4 5 $class [1] "data.frame" > colnames(df1) <- "bla" > attributes(df1) $names [1] "bla"

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

Hello! Looking on how people use optim to get MLE I also noticed that one can use returned Hessian to get corresponding standard errors i.e. something like result <- optim(<< snip >>, hessian=T) result$par # point estimates vc <- solve(result$hessian) # var-cov matrix se <- sqrt(diag(vc)) # standard errors What is actually Hessian representing here?

Hello! I think that link to page of Duncan Murdoch (bellow) should be given http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/ at http://developer.r-project.org/. It's easy to launch Google and find mentioned page, but it took me quite some time to do this, because I was sure, that it is noted somewhere on {www,CRAN}.r-project.org. Maybe I didn't read carefully ... Lep pozdrav / With

Dear R core, influenced by recent panel discussion in Vienna I think that it would be nice to add package specific output of citation() function to package reference manuals. I think that apropriate place would be just after fields from DESCRIPTION file. This will be OK for CRAN, but not for locally installed packages as there is not reference manual there (at least on my linux box) - why is this

Dear R developers, I noticed that core R distribution functions return NaN, when parameter values are out of parameter space. I have looked in source code and found that warnings and return of NaN are done internally in C code. For dgamma.c the line 49 is: if (shape <= 0 || scale <= 0) ML_ERR_return_NAN; OK. How should this be implemented if distribution functions are written

Hello! This really isn't so important, but it comes often in my mind, when I write documentation for functions. Writing R Extensions manual says that one should describe each element of the argument list (which is afcourse OK) in a form: \item{arg_i}{Description of arg_i.} When I started with R it really helped me that some "man pages" used \item{arg_i}{Mode.
