similar to: relist.Rd patch

I think the optim() example in the Details section of relist()'s help page is not totally correct. In particular, in the current form it is not taken into account that vcov should be a symmetric matrix and only the parameters in the lower (or upper) triangular part should be optimized. A possible fix is: ipar <- list(mean = c(0, 1), vcov = c(1, 1, 0)) initial.param <-

Hi all, I wrote a function called relist, which is an inverse to the existing unlist function: http://www.econ.upenn.edu/~clausen/computing/relist.R Some functions need many parameters, which are most easily represented in complex structures. Unfortunately, many mathematical functions in R, including optim, nlm, and grad can only operate on functions whose domain is a vector. R has a

Dear all, The following code is inspired by the help file for the relist() function (see?relist), which explicitly details how you can use a relistable object in conjunction with optim to pass and reconstruct complex parameter structures/groupings. The idea is that the optim() function can only work with vectors, but in many cases you would like to use a complex structure inside the objective

Dear list, I think I just stumbled across a bug in either 'relist()' and/or 'as.relistable()'. It seems that 'pairlists' can only be un- and relisted as long as they're not nested: Good: a <- as.relistable(as.pairlist(list(a=1, b=2))) a <- unlist(a) relist(a)# Works Bad: a <- as.relistable(as.pairlist(list(a=1, b=2, c=list(c.1=1, c.2=2)))) a <- unlist(a)

Hi, relist() is broken when the skeleton is a list with empty list elements: > x <- list(1:3, integer(0), 11:14) > relist(unlist(x), x) [[1]] [1] 1 2 3 [[2]] [1] 11 3 [[3]] [1] 11 12 13 14 Hard to believe that such a bug has been around for 6 years (i.e. since the introduction of relist()) without ever being noticed. Cheers, H. > sessionInfo() R

Hi, I have found an unwanted feature in the Rd to LaTeX convertion regarding \preformatted inside a \section. I have created an Rd example below, which generates an error in the following 'R CMD check' step * creating aroma.affine-manual.tex ... OK * checking aroma.affine-manual.tex ... ERROR LaTeX errors when creating DVI version. This typically indicates Rd problems. I believe

Hi, The "\preformatted" environment in Rd files doesn't seem to escape long sequences of backslashes properly when converted to pdf (LaTeX) documentation. I'm running R version 2.14 (from subversion, revision 57751) on Linux (RHEL). Here's an example from the command line: echo

The Rd.sty LaTeX package is used when building the R manuals, and by the LaTeX pages produced from the man pages. I have tracked down some problems G?bor Cs?rdi was having recently (see "Re: [R] preformatted and '#' in manual pages" in R-help) to a LaTeX problem, and am trying to work out how to fix it. Specifically, the .Rd file he was using had a structure like \dQuote{

Hi r-devels, I have two minor problems with special characters in Rd files when used within a \preformatted{} markup command: ------------------------------------------------------ 1. issue: backslash + single brace ------------------------------------------------------ I would like to write "\\\}" to produce \} on output (documenting the need to escape the brace once again before

Hi, I do not know if everybody finds index pages of the html-formatted R help useful, but I know I am at least not the only one who uses them extensively to get the overview of functions and methods in a package (even for my own package). Problems arise, however, if a lot of S4 methods need to be documented blowing out the index with (generally irrelevant) entries like:

Hello: There is a function in the MASS library called mvrnorm(), and I wonder whether R has a corresponding function mvdnorm? I don't think it would be that tough to write, but has anyone done it yet? Thanks in advance.

Hi Peter, I've fwded your info to the list, as other people might be interested in. I've also logged a patch tracker so that you can follow its inclusion: https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=302882&group_id=30602&atid=411544 As a side note, there is a work underway to merge the similar driver (mustek, powermust, ...) into one named megatec. This one

Hi, I have been developing a package in R and have been working on documentation. I have a \details function that contains the following: \details{ some text \preformatted{ [my-section] user = apv host = 127.0.0.1 } } When I run R CMD check I get an error while checking the manual. If I remove: \preformatted{ [my-section] user = apv host = 127.0.0.1 } and replace it with [my-section]

A version using regular expressions, regexpr() and substr() functions is attached. Finally everything is packed into splitSeq() function (chunk 14 in the attached file) Seq<- "GCCTCGATAGCTCAGTTGGGAGAGCGTACGACTGAAGATCGTAAGGtCACCAGTTCGATCCTGGTTCGGGGCA" Str<-

IMHO trailing spaces should be permitted in POD files. Currently they are prevented by the git upload hook. The reason to allow them in POD files is because indentation is used to indicate blocks of preformatted text (the equivalent of <pre> in HTML). To keep code together in the output if it contains blank lines you have to add a line containing a single space. For an example of where

When I run the code below on Macintosh and Windows, the plot comes out fine. However, on Linux, the png generated is invalid from R console, and loading strucchange crashes rkward. Is this a known issue on Linux and, if so, is there a workaround? Many thanks! require(strucchange) data("RealInt") bp.ri <- breakpoints(RealInt~1, h=15) summary(bp.ri) fac.ri <- breakfactor(bp.ri,

Dear Martin, I think that your plan makes sense. It's too bad that aov() behaved differently in this respect from lm(), and thus created more work, but it's not be a bad thing that the difference is now explicit and documented. I expect that that other problems like this will surface, particularly with contributed packages (and I know that you're aware that this has already happened

Hi everyone, I''m trying to use function vcov to extract the covariance matrix from a GAMLSS object. But I''m getting some strange errors and I was hoping someone could help me out? Vcov works with the same model for lm and glm objects, but not gamlss objects. I''ve searched various help sites to no avail. Its very possible the reason is that vcov failed though,

Hi R-devels, I noticed that you are working quite actively on the new Rd-parser and have made it the default renderer in R-2.10.0dev. So I would like to come back on an issue I have already raised on this list last November ("Two minor escaping issues using \preformatted{....} in Rd format") My setting has slightly changed as \preformatted, AFAICS is not supported within \describe

Dear Terry, It's not surprising that different modeling functions behave differently in this respect because there's no articulated standard. Please see my response to Martin for my take on the singular.ok argument. For a highly sophisticated user like you, singular.ok=TRUE isn't problematic -- you're not going to fail to notice an NA in the coefficient vector -- but I've
