similar to: apropos changes in r-devel: intended feature or bug?

Hi, since lattice uses nested lists in various situations, it has had an unexported function called updateList for a while, which looks like > lattice:::updateList function (x, val) { if (is.null(x)) x <- list() if (!is.list(x)) stop("x must be NULL or a list") if (!is.list(val)) stop("val must be a list") xnames <- names(x)

Hello all, I've had the following apropos alternative in my ~/.Rprofile for some time, and have found it more useful than the current version. Basically, my version ignores case when searching. If others find this useful, perhaps apropos could be suitably patched (and I'd be willing to create such a patch). + seth Here is my version of apropos: APROPOS <- function (what, where =

Hi, I recently made changes to lattice code which needed changes in many man pages as well. Before I made the appropriate changes, R CMD check was flagging most of the problems correctly, except for the man page for tmd. I have created a toy package that shows this, available at http://www.stat.wisc.edu/~deepayan/R/tmdprob_0.12-2.tar.gz This passes R CMD check on R 2.1.0 and r-devel from August

Hello, I'm starting working myself in the use of R, reading M. J. Crawley, The R Book. The problem I do encounter is concerning the commands apropos and find: > apropos(edit) Fehler: is.character(what) is not TRUE > find(edit) Fehler: is.character(what) is not TRUE I get the same error message typing anything else instead of "edit". The command ?edit seems to work well.

A further improvement to apropos() would be to sort the output. Currently, the output of apropos is in the order found on the search list and this will rarely be useful to the user. All that is needed is a sort(x) at the end of the function. + seth -- Seth Falcon | Computational Biology | Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center http://bioconductor.org

Martin and I have `written' a function apropos() for finding all objects with names matching pattern. I attach code and documentation. Perhaps one could include it in the distribution proper. We are not sure about returning the position in the search list along with the matching names found. Martin thinks it should be on by default, I think it should be off so that the functions does the

all/any coerce their arguments to logical (if possible). I've added a warning in R-devel if coercion is from something other than integer. This arose because it is easy to make a slip and write all(X) > 0 rather than all(X > 0): thanks to Bill Dunlap for bringing that to my attention. However, it has been useful in detecting quite a few other things: - indices which had been made

All, I'm trying to create an augPred plot in the nlme library, similar to the plot on p.43 of Pinheiro & Bates (Mixed Effects Models in S and S-Plus) for their Pixel data. My data structure is the same as the example but I still get the error msg below. > comp.adj.UKV <- groupedData(adj.UKV ~ Time | Patient_no/Lisinopril, data = comp.adj.UKV.frm, order.groups = F) >

completion is semi-broken in today's r-devel, and the reason seems to be some regular expression changes: > sessionInfo() R version 2.6.0 Under development (unstable) (2007-05-22 r41673) i686-pc-linux-gnu locale: [...] attached base packages: [1] "stats" "graphics" "grDevices" "utils" "datasets" "methods" [7]

Some time ago I tried to find out how to compute remainders in R. I now know that it is done with %%, which is documented in help('+'), but before someone told me that I tried: help('remainder'), help.search('remainder'), apropos('remainder') help('modulo'), help.search('modulo'), and apropos('modulo') all of which yielded nothing. I then

This is on r-devel from 2005-03-15. iconvlist() uses (at least some of the time) icfile <- system.file("iconvlist", package = "utils") which looks like """ The following list contain all the coded character sets known. This does not necessarily mean that all combinations of these names can be used for the FROM and TO command line parameters. One coded

I am using the package nlme to fit a simple random effects (variance components model) with 3 parameters: overall mean (fixed effect), between subject variance (random) and within subject variance (random). I have 16 subjects with 1-4 obs per subject. I need a 3x3 variance-covariance matrix that includes all 3 parameters in order to compute the variance of a specific linear

In recent r-devels, I have > library(help = grid) Error in formatDL(entry, style = "list") : incorrect value for x This doesn't happen for the other packages I have tried, so maybe this is a problem with grid. Deepayan

No, there are lots of situations where that doesn't make sense. You don't want to have to define local copies of the functions from every package you use, for example. I think the takeaway is to learn how R scoping works, and keep things simple. That's one reason I tend to avoid "tidyverse" packages. There are a lot of really good ideas in those packages, but
