Hi, I am doing a small experiment to test if I can use MathJax ( official site: http://www.mathjax.org ) in R's html help pages (i.e. options(help_type='html')) and it seems working with some minor modifications. The screenshot (rendered by Firefox 4.0 beta and with STIX fonts) of the help page in html format with MathJax enabled is at the following url:

--=-hiYzUeWcRJ/+kx41aPIZ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi, on March 10 I filed a wishlist bug report asking for the inclusion of some changes to factanal() and the associated print method. The changes were originally proposed by John Fox in 2005; they make print.factanal() display factor correlations if factanal() is called with rotation =

I've just committed the parse_Rd() function to R-devel. This is a parser for Rd files, described in http://developer.r-project.org/parseRd.pdf It is not identical to the current parser, and about a dozen of the base man pages currently signal syntax errors. It also detected errors in 10 files that were errors according to both definitions, but were missed by the current system, and

We have been working on handling Rd (R help) files with R rather than Perl scripts. As part of that work, Duncan has written a parser which has revealed many problems in package help files, and we have added its checks to 'R CMD check' in the R-devel version of R. You can see the results for CRAN packages as part of the daily check at

Hola! I have the following in a .Rd file: \eqn{\mbox{coef} = c(\mbox{coef}[1],\ldots, \mbox{coef}[n]) } {coef = c(coef[1], coef[2], \dots, coef[n])} However, both arguments come out in the latex file! Whats happening? Kjetil Halvorsen

I'm currently working on writing up some documentation for some of my code, but am having the darndest time coding in equations. For example, the equation in the following: \details{ Calculated the R Squared for observed endogenous variables in a structural equation model, as well as several other useful summary statistics about the error in thoe variables. R Squared values are

Surprisingly, I played around with some test code and below actually creates equations that look correct. tempmat<-matrix(10,nrow=6,ncol=6) restrictmat<-diag(6) colnames(tempmat)<-c("AUD.l1","CHF.l1","CAD.l1","GBP.l1","EUR.l1","JPY.l 1")

I've been working on a new package and I have a few questions regarding the behaviour of the nlm function. I've been (for better or worse) using the nlm function to fit a linear model without suppling the hessian or gradient attributes in the objective function. I'm curious as to why the nlm requires 31 iterations (for the linear model), and then it doesn't work when I try to add

I should'nt have sent the last mail so fast. Same problem with \eqn{u_j = a_j + b x + c x^2, \quad j=1, \ldots, r-1} {u[j] = a[j] + b*x + c*x^2 j = 1,\dots,r-1} I thought the problem in the first case could have to do with the use use of \mbox{} (with the braces) within the arguments of \eqn, but here there are none braces in the arguments of \eqn{}{}. Another case giving the

The patch below fixes the NChisquare documentation problem that I've been mentioning for some time now. NOTE: There is one DEQN where the LaTeX part contains real LaTeX code, because I did not see how to get a sum sign (and a roman math font) otherwise. Seems to work, though ...

I'm not sure who is responsible for quantile(), but I assume they read this list. Ivan Frohne and I have produced a revision of the quantile.default() function which enables the computation of alternative sample quantile definitions. The code and .Rd file are attached. This enables the user to produce quantiles that are equivalent to those in various statistics package. There is a type

With help by Kurt and Martin I have written a short proposal for a new R doc source format that should be easier to parse using, e.g., perl. There should be especially a clearer distinction between text and keywords. Here we go, please make comments, corrections, etc. Best, Fritz ********************************************************** Conversion: ----------- A perl module providing

Hello all: I have written a few R scripts and am trying to turn them into a package for submission to CRAN. All of these scripts are R code only, no C or C++ or anything else. I'm working with R 2.0.1 running on a Windows XP machine. So far running ">rcmd install --build --docs=normal mypkge" seems to work (i.e., the library "mypkge" is installed in R\rw2001\library and

I rebuilt a test version of my yaImpute package using Uwe Ligges' windows build service. I got this reply: Check result: OK R version 2.9.0 Under development (unstable) (2009-01-27 r47756) Here is the issue: I have the following construct in help files (this example relates to "data"): \format{ A data frame with 847 rows and 29 columns: \cr\cr Ground based measurements of

I'm trying to solve a system of 3 equations as part of a sub-routine in R, ie first eqn a/x-b*sqrtx+c=log(1/dx+1/e(sqrtx); snd eqn (f*y)/z-g/y-h=-log(2/x+(z/y)/(i*x) and third eqn is of the form zz=x/(j-k(z/y) where a..k inclusive are constants, x,y,z and zz are inputs. How can this be done in R? [[alternate HTML version deleted]]

'Writing R Extensions' tells you that $ needs to be escaped in Rd files outside \code and similar. So I was surprised to find that ca 80 CRAN packages have constructions like (from ISwR) \item{\code{folate}}{ a numeric vector, folate concentration ($\mu$g/l). } This does not render sensibly in non-latex conversions, and it is what we have \eqn{} for. That $ needs to be

It seems that MASS suggest to judge on the basis of sum(residuals(mode,type="pearson"))/df.residual(mode). My question: Is there any rule of thumb of the cutpoiont value? The paper "On the Use of Corrections for Overdispersion" suggests overdispersion exists if the deviance is at least twice the number of degrees of freedom. Are there any further hints? Thanks. -- Ronggui

I want to create a clean .rpm package for R built with MKL and ICC. I follow Fedora instrcutions[0] to create the package. As a base, I use the R-3.2.2.src.rpm.
