This is a low priority bug that has been around for a while, but I came acr= oss it again while alpha testing 2.8. The resulting function for splinefun gives incorrect deriv values when x is= less than the smallest x-value used to create the function (at least in on= e circumstance), but does the correct thing for x greater than the largest = x-value. Here is an example: > x <- 1:10 >

I think SAS Macros has capability to call R, and execute it without it being in the picture anywhere. So you can use SAS Macros in a file called R.sas In this you can create a macro called %Describe that can call R , load Hmisc ,run the describe function Note you will need repeated use of %put in this %describe for the mapping to take place Use %INCLUDE to include that file in all SAS

This is to announce an updated version of the blockrand package has been uploaded to CRAN. The blockrand package is used for creating randomizations for clinical trials or other studies where random assignments are made one at a time. It implements the ideas of randomizing within blocks so that the numbers of subjects in each group remain fairly balanced (but allows for unbalanced blocks to make

This is to announce that versio 2.0 of the TeachingDemos package is now on CRAN (and hopefully soon to a mirror near you). This is a major upgrade of the package, some of the improvements include: The package now uses an NAMESPACE so it is easier to load just the parts that you need. Some of the GUI demonstrations now use tkrplot so that the graph is in the same window as the controls (there

Hi David: If your variables are in a dataframe called DF and the dependent variable is in the first column , you can do below but you probably are well aware of this anyway. lmresults<-lapply(names(DF[,-1],function(.name) { lm(DF[,1] ~ DF[,.name], data=DF) }) This will run through each of the variables in the dataframe and regress the first column on each variable individually. On

I am working with the mcnemar.test function and the help does not show a maintainer/author, but it is part of the stats package. My issue is that I want to use the test on 2 variables with possible values of 0:3, in one of the tests one of the variables does not have any 3's, so to make sure that the matrix is square I do: > x <- factor(x, levels=0:3) > y <- factor(y, levels=0:3)

This problem can be seen by the following commands: > pb <- winProgressBar(max=1000, label='0') > b <- 1 > setWinProgressBar(pb, b, label=b) This set of commands (on windows of course, XP in this case) causes R to crash. This is not strictly a bug since the documentation states that the label argument should be a character string and using as.character(b) does work

Oh sorry. An example say lots more than words. The data below, when submitted to twoord.plot return the mentioned error. Rain are bars and Salt lines, the bars appear and the error occurs with the salt data.

Here is a demonstration of behaviour that is probably an optimization by someone far smarter than me that did not anticipate anyone wanting to do this, but for my purposes it looks more like a bug than a feature. I have tested this with R2.6.2 on Windows, no additional packages loaded (beyond the default), I have tested using the default graphics object, pdf, jpeg, and cairoDevice (ok I loaded a

Thank you, Greg, and also to Scott Ellison, who replied privately. I am in the process of trying out both suggestions. After I sent my initial message, I came across the Systemfit package, which allows specification of constraints on parameters. In theory, this should solve my problem perfectly. However, I was not able to get it to work with my data, as every attempt yielded the following

Does anyone know how to change the background color of the script window(s) in Rgui on Windows? I can use the "Gui Preferences" menu item under the Edit menu has an option that lets you change the background color for the console window and any help/info windows that pop up, but the script window(s) still have the white background. Am I missing a setting somewhere? Is this a missing

I have a function in one of my packages that I would like to print using the original source rather than the deparse of the function. The package uses lazy loading and the help page for library (under keep.source) says that keep.source does not apply to packages that use lazy loading and that whether those functions keep the source depends on when they are installed. This package is on R-forge

I have some functions that write an external text file for postprocessing by another program. Some instructions to the other program need to be indicated by null values (\000 or ^@). The function currently uses code like: writeChar(rawToChar(as.raw(0)), con) where con is a connection to the file. Previous to version 2.8.0 this worked fine. With 2.8.0 it still works, but I get a warning

Hi, I have finally installed TeachingDemos trough zip file and installed on lbrary. One new question: I want to draw a line (like abline) on diagonal or the result of running a ols. How can I do it. On the other hand, I want to mark the length on each sub plot y axis. It is possible? My function is sca<-function(){ z2<-read.table("Ase.txt",header=T)

I realized earlier this year (2007) that it was in 1987 that I first started using an early version of S (it was ported to VMS and was called success). That means that I have been using some variant of S (to various degrees) for over 20 years now (I don't feel that old). Since things are a bit slow this time of year I thought I would take a few minutes and reminisce on some of the changes

Hi Dr. Snow, I am a graduate student working on analyzing data for my thesis and came across your post on an R forum: The default link function for the glm poisson family is a log link, which means that it is fitting the model: log(mu) ~ b0 + b1 * x But the data that you generate is based on a linear link. Therefore your glm analysis does not match with how the data was generated

The following seems to me to be at least a perverse trap, if not an = outright bug: > is.numeric(unit(1,"npc")) [1] TRUE > is.numeric(1*unit(1,"npc")) [1] FALSE > is.numeric(unit(0,"npc") +unit(1,"npc")) [1] FALSE ...etc. i.e. is.numeric() appears to be TRUE for class "unit" but false for = class ("unit.arithmetic"
