These are some points stimulated by reading about C history (and related in their implementation). 1) On some platforms > as.integer("0xA") [1] 10 but not all (not on Solaris nor Windows). We do not define what is allowed, and rely on the OS's implementation of strtod (yes, not strtol). It seems that glibc does allow hex: C99 mandates it but C89 seems not to allow it. I

Hi List, Am trying to customize a legend in trellis: Draws 2x5 lines in 5 colors and 2 linetypes. I would like to add two more items to the legend showing the key for the line types above the colored legend. Any suggestions welcome - thanks Herry ############################# #Following example code: library(gregmisc) trellis.device(bg="white") i1=0 i2=-1.89767506 i3=-1.17087085

"make check" is failing on reg-test3.R with a message that survival was built with an older version of R. (On my Ubuntu 32 bit and Ubuntu 64 bit machines).

I don't think the buglets are wrong. You don't drop length 0 dimensions. If you did, the object would be of the wrong length.

There is now a preliminary version of a time series package in the R-devel snapshots, and we would welcome feedback on it. It is based in part on the packages bats (Martyn Plummer) and tseries (Adrian Trapletti) and in part on code I had or have written. (Thanks for the contributions, Martyn and Adrian!) Some of the existing ts code has been changed, for example to plot multiple time series, so

We say in ?points that 'pch' (among others) can be set to NA for omitting a point. While this works in cases where there's at least one point left to draw, it fails in a simple case like this : > plot(1, pch = NA) Error in plot.xy(xy.coords(x, y), type = type, pch = pch, col = col, bg = bg, : invalid plotting symbol Both in R-patched or R-devel. A simple workaround {hinting

This only happens if 'file' is a text connection, and is the expected behaviour in that case: you cannot capture an incomplete line to a text connection. There seems no reason to break the documented behaviour in other cases to change something that you consider to a bug when file=NULL and the user does not produce complete output. It would be possible to make use of isIncomplete()

Dear list members, I frequently program small scripts and wrap them into functions to be able to check them with checkUsage. In case these functions (loaded via source or copy pasted to the R console) use functions from other packages, I get this error: no visible global function definition for ?xxxxxxx? For example: test = function() { require(plotrix) color.legend() }

R 1.4.0 ?stars has scale: logical flag: if `TRUE', the columns of the data matrix are scaled independently so that the maximum value in each column is 1 and the minimum is 0. If `FALSE', the presumption is that the data have been scaled by some other algorithm to the range [0,1]. but the code has if (scale) { x <- sweep(x, 2,

Hi Mr Tierney, I have noticed an error message from R 1.12.x's CMD check for a while (apparently prof Ripley completely rewrote CMD check in R 1.12+) e.g.: http://bioconductor.org/checkResults/2.7/bioc-LATEST/snpMatrix/lamb2-checksrc.html ---------------- * checking R code for possible problems ...

I have tightened the tolerances in glm.control in R-devel (aka 1.8.0 Under Development) from epsilon = 1e-4 to 1e-8, and increases maxit from 10 to 25. Normally the effect is to do one more iteration and get more accurate results. However, in cases of partial separation several more iterations will be done and it will be clearer from the results which parameters are converging and which are

R-devel now has some improved versions of read.table and write.table.

Very few computer programs do that. You cannot `require' two digits by options(digits=2): ?options says digits: controls the number of digits to print when print- ing numeric values. It is a

I just uploaded R 2.5.0 to Debian's unstable distribution. As Peter's announcement says, it now contains two new packages'rcompgen' and 'codetools'. About two or three weeks ago, I also packaged these, just like other 'recommended' packages as r-cran-rcompgen and r-cran-codetools. However, as "new" packages, they are still in the NEW queue awaiting

Is there an R function that automatically writes all input and output to a file? I would at least like it to log all the commands I enter, and to preferably also write the standard output to the file as well as to the screen. (The ideal would be to write the input to one file and both the input and output to another file.) I tried R2HTML for this, but I could not get it to work consistently. I am
