Hi, In a recent reply I sent to the list, my initial response was to suggest, politely that by reading the posting guide and learning to use the supplied tools one can often help oneself. I then went on to say that reading the posting guide would have led you to RSiteSearch("insert query"). Luckily I went to the posting guide to check this was there before posting and much to my

Dear R Users, A bit of a simple question, but I could not find the answer thru google ("sorting lists r cran","how can i sort a list r cran") or RSiteSearch... how can I sort a list ? One imagines something like sort.list would do the job, but that's not the one. > foo<-list(a=10,b=2,c=3) > sort.list(foo) Error in sort.list(foo) : 'x' must be atomic

Working on the caret package has exposed me to the wide variety of approaches that different authors have taken to creating predictive modeling functions (aka machine learning)(aka pattern recognition). I suspect that many package authors are neophyte R users and are stumbling through the process of writing their first R package (or R code). As such, they may not have been exposed to some of the

Also https://www.r-project.org/posting-guide.html indicates that RSiteSearch() within R searches R-help but in my install (3.4.3) RSiteSearch() only searches?

Hello: How can one get the number of functions and data sets in a package? I've written a function "PackageSum2" to get an extended package summary for an installed package. I get much of what I want from the object returned by "help(package=pkgName)". For example, "help(pac=...)$info[[1]]" is a character vector giving author, maintainer,

Hello, All: Jonathan Baron is "giving up" maintaining the RSiteSearch database. This breaks three things: (1) The R Site Search web service that Baron has maintained. (2) The RSiteSearch function in the utils package. (3) The sos package, for which I'm the maintainer and lead author. Might someone else be willing to take these over? For me,

I wrote a R package, and installed it. But I don't understand how R can find right help content for object "foo" when calling "help(foo)". Who can give me underlying details or any reference regarding "help(foo)"? In fact, after installing my package "pkg_foo" and calling library(pkg_foo), I can correcttly use any function and data in

I am trying to find a simple R guide that explain what a vignette is but so far I didnt make any progress. I tried to search inside R's built in help.start() but it only returns results how to see vignettes. So could you please tell me what a vignette is and if you can also could you give some simple guide that I can always use to read about these things? Best Regards Alex

Can someone in R Core please take a look at the attached patches to RSiteSearch() and its help page? I guess Jon is planning some changes on his site. Jon: could you elaborate on what the patch does?

Hallo Can anyone tell me the difference between foo$a[2] <- 1 and foo[2,"a"] <- 1 ? I thought that both expressions are equivalent, but when I run the following example, there is obviously a difference. > foo <- data.frame(a=NA,b=NA) > foo a b 1 NA NA > foo$a[1] <- 1 > foo$b[1] <- 2 > foo$a[2] <- 1 Error in `$<-.data.frame`(`*tmp*`,

While doing @foo = Bar.new(params[:foo]) in a controller, the application is open to injection attacks. For example, My model has following attributes : name password admin - boolean Now, if on my form I''m just acception name & password, and doing @foo = Bar.new(params[:foo]) in my controller, someone can just enter following in form : <%= text_field ''foo'',

Don't do anything yet. I may have found the problem by accident. I tried to use the computer from something else, and it was being drastically slowed down by some leftover processes, which turned out to be xlhtml. That is something that converts Excel files. Apparently, some excel files got into the libraries, and they were causing the indexing to hang completely. I am now running everything

Dear All, I suspect this is kind of dumb, but when I was under the thrall of the dark lord (read, using a W2K box), all my work in R files came out as foo.RData. I moved on to GNU/Linux, and all the old .RData files keep on working as they used. No problems in loading and stuff. But I use R from the terminal. Assuming I decide to switch to emacs, do I need to save my work as foo.r? what about my

Hello, I often find myself writing code like : if( require( "foo" ) && compareVersion( packageDescription( "foo")[["Version"]], "2.1" ) < 0 ){ # code that uses version 2.1 of foo } else { stop( "could not load version >= 2.1 of foo" ) } Would it make sense to include something like this in require, library, etc ... require(

Hi, All I got a linkage error as indicated in the subject line. Any suggestion? I created a call builder.CreateCall2(foo, p1, p2) in a module. foo is a Function* generated by module->getOrInsertFunction("foo", prototype). foo is defined outside of this module, and in the dump of the module, I see "declare i64 @foo(xxx, xxx)". The error happens during link time, it seems

Hello, I'm trying to find out if something has been written in R regarding data assimilation and inverse modeling.

[If I knew who to report this to privately, I would. Sorry to embarrass anyone who's just trying to contribute to the R-project.] There seems to be some oddities with the RSiteSearch web page.
