similar to: uninformative error message in R CMD check (PR#9459)

R CMD check --use-valgrind <packagename> used to run valgrind on the tests in the tests directory of the package. But it seems to have stopped. R-2.9.1 doesn't -- at least on my box -- and neither does R-2.10.0 (devel). I am not sure when this stopped. I think 2.8.x did this. The only old R I have around is 2.6.0 and it certainly does. R CMD check --help for 2.9.1 says (among other

There is a fairly new bug in wilcox.test in R-2.2.1 (stable). It wasn't there when I last taught nonparametrics in fall 2003. Line 86 of wilcox.test.R achieved.alpha<-2*psignrank(trunc(qu),n) It should be achieved.alpha<-2*psignrank(trunc(qu)-1,n) If you don't see why, decode the cookbook instructions p. 56 in Hollander and Wolfe (2nd ed.) or see

Here's a simpler example that should reproduce that error for you: ans <- utils::select.list(c("hello", "world", "again"), graphics=TRUE) Does it? FYI, I installed R 3.6.3 from source on CentOS 7 a few hours ago, and for me the above works just fine. For your immediate needs of selecting a CRAN mirror, you can set: options(menu.graphics = FALSE) as a

OK. I give up. I'll ask a stupid question. How do I get the $!#@*$ signif stars line printed by summaries to not look extremely bizarre in the latex produced by Sweave? For example, see p. 7 of http://www.stat.umn.edu/geyer/aster/library/aster/doc/tutor.pdf I can see what the problem is. R emits non-ascii characters (as it is supposed to do), Sweave puts them in the tex file, and

I knew I could work around. But this shouldn't happen. And yes.

The subject line says it all. How can I find what Error: cannot set length of non-vector means? RTFS is no help. I can find out of course that it comes from "lengthgets", but who called that? Not me! The situation is as follows. I am trying to get a package ready for CRAN. Every time I run "R CMD check" I get this error when building the package vignette. But (!)

Can anyone tell me if the following C code (which proved very useful when using the snow package -- use it to nice slaves) compiles and dyn.loads under Windoze or Mac? It is (apparently) POSIX, so I suppose it is fine in OS X, but does Windoze's advertized POSIX compliance mean anything here? If it doesn't work on some platform, how do I deal with that? I want to submit as contributed

The note to 1004 says "fixed for 1.3.1" Uh. No. It ain't. The problem was more serious than guessed as even the simplest testing would show.

This is just to alert the list about a new technical report http://www.stat.umn.edu/geyer/gdor/ that shows how to determine, using exact infinite-precision rational arithmetic when the MLE exists in a GLM (or for that matter in any exponential family, such as aster models -- contributed package aster) and what to do when it does not. This suggests many changes to glm, glm.fit, predict.glm,

Sorry if I was supposed to file a bug report, but I don't know whether we're supposed to do that on R devel. I just built R devel from source (2010-06-15 r52280) and tried to check a package with it and Sweave failed on the vignette. It puts the line \usepackage{/HOME/faculty/charlie/local/devel/lib64/R/share/texmf/Sweave} in the *.tex file but, that's not where Sweave.sty is oak$

is it possible to set an option inside a function ((I want to set na.action = na.fail) and have the previous state restored if there is an error so that the function doesn't change the option behind the user's back?

I have a design problem. I'm trying to design a package that does something like glm, but 1. the response is multivariate, so I can't be just like glm and get the response variables out of the formula. I decided (perhaps incorrectly) to just supply the response variable names as an argument "response". 2. I have the usual predictor variables. 3. I

Hello, A hopefully simple question. I use 'R' through emacs, but I suspect the following would occur with any manner of text editor: - my editor has a normally quite handy feature where it will automatically indent to the appropriate level when I start a new line. However, this occasionally creates cases where there is no friendly way to break a long line of code into

This is a bug/misfeature report for R CMD check. The function tools:::.check_packages_used_in_tests Gives an apparently unintended error when checking the tests in the contributed package rcdd_1.1-3.tar.gz as found on CRAN. See the script below for details. The actual error reported is totally mysterious. * checking for unstated dependencies in tests ... NOTE Error in
