Hi r-devels, I am a bit puzzled by the behaviour of cat() --- any help is appreciated... At least AFAICS, cat() for vector-valued '...' argument behaves in contradiction to what I understand from the note in the help to cat() which reads " Despite its name and earlier documentation, 'sep' is a vector of terminators rather than separators, being output after every

# R for Windows will not send your bug report automatically. # Please copy the bug report (after finishing it) to # your favorite email program and send it to # # r-bugs at r-project.org # ###################################################### R versions R-2.6.2 and R-2.7.0 for M$-Windows no longer allow me to install as administrator (on my account) so the users can run R on their own

With 2.7.0 patched (not tested with 2.0.0), I get an error message in a program that ran correctly in R 2.6.2 when the grouping factor of a stripplot contains an Umlaut: I am aware that there are a few locale-changes in R 2.7.0, but I could not easily locate who's at fault Dieter library(lattice) dt = data.frame(x=rnorm(100),y=1:100,levs= as.factor(c("Gru","Gr?")))

I have a large Sweave report that reads data from a database file. Some of the columns are 1-character strings containing only +, - or NA. An example for such a table is shown below, and can be downloaded for easier testing from http://www.menne-biomed.de/uni/test.zip (For security reasons, the file is zipped) table test hp hp1 + a - + library(RODBC) channel =

Dear list-member, I am currently developing a package with S4 classes. The NAMESPACE and DESCRIPTION is printed below. Within this package I have set a method "residuals" for two classes. In version 2.8.1 these two are reported whereas in R-Devel (2009-01-28 r47766). What have I missed? What has changed and how can I rectify the issue? Your help and pointers are welcome. For 2.8.1:

Dear list, I make use of cached objects extensively for time consuming computations and yesterday I happened to notice some very strange behavior in that respect: When I execute a given computation whose result I'd like to cache (tried both saving it as '.Rdata' and via package 'R.cache' which uses a own filetype '.Rcache'), my R session consumes about 200 MB of

Hello R, To analyze multi-level data, I started learning and using lmer. So far so wonderful. I then found some useful functions in package languageR. But then the following problem ocurred: Whenever I load and use the languageR package, then save the workspace - or quit R with saving the workspace - I am unable to reload that workspace in a later session. That is, R doesn't start at all

Dear guRus, I would like to loop over a medium amount of Sweave code, including both R and LaTeX chunks. Is there any way to do so? As an illustration, can I create a .tex file like this using a loop within a .Rnw file, where the "1,2,3" comes from some iteration variable in R? ################################################ \documentclass{article} \usepackage{Sweave} \begin{document}

For the record (and as privately discussed with Brian Ripley), happens with all recent versions of R including R-devel from today: Consider a simple a.Rd file containing the lines ================== \name{a} \title{a} \value{\code{a} \code{\link[a]{a}} \pkg{a} \item{a}{a} } ================== with these lines, I get, e.g.: ================== R CMD Rdconv --type="txt" a.Rd a

Dear R-Devel subscriber, as a follow up to my yesterday's email: I tested an analogous example with the S4-package "flexclust" by executing the following code: library(flexclust) example(cclust) cl After saving the work space and starting a new R process with the restored work space, the same behaviour (i.e., the methods pertinent to "flexclust" are not used, even after

Dear developers, I have come across a (somewhat strange) change in the encoding of Sweave output from R-2.9.2pat to R-2.10.0beta (apparently specific to Rgui) on Windows installations. Of course, the NEWS file contains quite a few changes concerning encoding, but I was not able to locate an entry which explains the observed behaviour. I am not very familiar with encodings/locales/codepages,

Dear list, I have a balance connected to the serial port of a windows machine ("COM1") and I read the text output of the balance with scan("COM1", what="character", sep="\n", n=1) after calling the previous line I press the print key on the balance which triggers sending one line of text to the serial connection and with R 2.9.2 I get something like Read

Dear list-subscriber, in the process of writing a general code snippet to extract coefficients in an expression (in the example below: 0.5 and -0.7), I stumbled over the following peculiar (at least peculiar to me:-) ) sorting behaviour of the function all.names(): > expr1 <- expression(x3 = 0.5 * x1 - 0.7 * x2) > all.names(expr1) [1] "-" "*" "x1"

Hi, again, I have to modify my query since my first (too simple) example doesn't reflect my actual problem. Second try: When asking Effect() inside a function to compute an effect of an lmer-fit which uses a data frame local to the body of the function, as in the following example (simplifying my actual application), I get the "Error in is.data.frame(data) : object 'X' not

Dear list subscriber, I am quite puzzled by the behaviour of processing Sweave files within an R session, i.e. Sweave("foo.Rnw") versus R CMD Sweave foo.Rnw In the former the environmental variable 'SWEAVE_STYLEPATH_DEFAULT = TRUE' is obeyed (this is set in etc/Renviron.site as well as under the users home directory in .Renviron). That is the hard-coded path to Sweave.sty is
