What is the proper way to install/configure R-2.6.2 for M$-Windows XPSP2 for multiple users when the other users don't have administrative rights. I don't remember this was a problem with previous versions of R. I installed R-2.6.2 as administrator on the computer. It installs, runs, and can manually update fine. The main user of this computer does not have administrator rights. Now,

Hi, All: How do I get information about the "R CMD check / build / install" process, especially regarding what software to install and how to configure it under Windows XP? I ask, because "R CMD check" complained, "gfortran: Command not found". I found 'gfortran-sjlj.exe' in 'C:\Program Files\R\Rtools\MinGW\bin', which is in the

Dear RUsers, I just upgraded from 2.6.0 to 2.6.2 and tried to reinstall the RWinEdt patch to work with WinEdt so that I can continue function as I always have but I have run into problems that I don't understand how to fix. Any help would be great. Essentially, I downloaded the latest RWinEdt zip folder from the CRAN website and tried calling the library. I tried re-installing it a bunch of

Hi, All: Is there a way to identify whether any users are using a particular package in a shared network R installation? I ask, because we have such a multiple-user installation and when I tried to install a package using Rgui that was in use by Rterm on a single-user installation, 'install.packages' deleted the existing package but failed to install the new version;

Hi: I do not understand the returned value of NA in the following, which is a simplified version of my attempt to convert the start column of the data frame AirQual in the SwissAir package. as.POSIXct(paste('04.04.2004 0',0:3,sep=''),format='%d.%m.%Y %H') [1] "2004-04-04 00:00:00 EST" "2004-04-04 01:00:00 EST" [3] NA

List, I'm trying to extract the row names of a table I have read into R. > data <- read.table("mesodata.txt", header=TRUE, row.names=1) When I try to extract them using, > names <- data$row.names I get, > names NULL I've tried changing to a matrix, data frame, etc. and still get "NULL". I've checked ?row.names as well as help on extracting

Dear R-developers, A student asked me today of how to specify the limits of the x-axis. I knew that he should use xlim, but I tried to encourage him to have a try himself with the various help functions. I do not judge if he used the correct search strategy or right key words, but anyway here is what he tried: he looked at ?plot. There xlim is not mentioned. He checked ?par. There you find

Hi, I have the following function that I want to apply to a list of 14 matrices (1536 x 170) of binary data: DRes <- function(x, nr = 10000, metric = "mixed", ...) { require(analogue) require(ade4) m <- c() for (i in 1:nr) { set.seed(i) x1 <- x[, sample(dimnames(x)[[2]], length(x[1,])/2)] x2 <- x[, !dimnames(x)[[2]] %in% dimnames(x1)[[2]]] d1 <-

Hi, I have been using 'read.table' regularly to read tab-delimited text files with data. No problem, until now. Now I have a file that appeared to have read fine, and the data inside looks correct (structure etc), except I only had 15000+ rows out of the expected 24000. Using 'readLines' instead, and breaking up the data by tabs, gives me the expected result. I do not

I am trying to use winProgressBar, however I find that although setWinProgressBar updates the value on the screen, getWinProgressBar does not return this value. E.g > pb <- winProgressBar() > setWinProgressBar(pb, 0.2) > getWinProgressBar(pb) [1] 0 I tried the same with tkProgressBar, and it is working as I would expect from the documentation. > pb <- tkProgressBar() >

Hi, On my laptop, R is installed on windows XP SP2 at D:\Program Files\R\R-2.8.0, and all add-on packages are installed at D:\Program Files\R\R-2.8.0.libs. In addition, I have created two environment enviroment to ease upgrading and installation of packages. Packages installed is a mix of those from CRAN, Bioconductor and local zips.

I noticed a problem using R 2.7.1 on Windows XP SP2 with the precompiled Atlas Rblas.dll. Running the code below causes R to crash. I started R using Rgui --vanilla and am using the precompiled Atlas Rblas.dll from cran.fhcrc.org dated 17-Jul-2007 05:04 for Core2 Duo. The code that causes the crash: x <- rnorm(100) y <- rnorm(100) z <- rnorm(100) loess(z ~ x * y) loess(z ~ x) does

Hi, I have an S4 class that inherits from "array" but does not add generic implementations of the "[" method. A simplified example is: setClass("fooarray", contains="array") If I create a "fooarray" object and subset it with a one-dimensional index vector, the return value is of class "fooarray". Other variants (see below), however,

Below is an example of a problem I encounter repeatedly when I write functions. A call works at the command line, but it does not work inside a function, even when I have made sure that all required variables are available within the function. The only way I know to solve it is to make the required variable global, which of course is dangerous. What is the elegant or appropriate way to solve

Hi all, I've read the R for windows FAQ and am a little confused re: memory.limit and memory.size to start using R 2.6.2 on WinXP, 2GB RAM, I have the command line "sdi --max-mem-size=2047M" Once the Rgui is open, memory.limit() returns 2047, memory.size() returns 11.315, and memory.size(max=T) returns 19.615 Shouldn't memory.size(max=T) return 2047? Upon running several

Dear R-help gurus (and T.Yee, the VGAM maintainer) - I've been banging my head against the keyboard for too long now, hopefully someone can pick up on the errors of my ways... I am trying to use optim to fit a zero-inflated negative binomial distribution. No matter what I try I can't get optim to recognize my initial parameters. I think the problem is that dnbinom allows either

Hello All I am trying to get the JRI examples from rJava to work on Windows XP and failing. (And as a more general and connected question is there any review/summary of front-end software for R?) I have installed rJava from the Windows binary supplied. I compile and run the example supplied (rtest.java) and get the results below. I do not think the notes about a deprecated API are a problem. But

Folks: Problem: [<-.data,frame() is losing attributes under certain curcumstances shown below. I think this is a bug, at least in documentation, as I was unable to find explicit documentation of the behavior. Indeed, the only documentation I found told me attributes are preserved. Here is a detailed description: > df <- data.frame(a=1:3, b=letters[1:3]) > attr(df,"foo")

ComRades: I am geeting the error message Error in ldots[[which(MET)]] : attempt to select less than one element when I try to fit the geostatistical model with the likfit() function of geoR. I have tried with old data for which likfit() successfully maximised the likelihood in previous versions of geoR, and yet the current version fails.
