similar to: More intensive checking of R help files

It seems that many package authors do not proofread the help installed with their packages. The Rd converter is not a parser, and it will silently produce incorrect results on incorrect input (and some correct input). Here are a few hints about some common errors: 1) When you run R CMD check you get a PDF manual at <pkg>.Rcheck/<pkg>-manual.pdf. Read through it looking for

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

'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

We've added a column at http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_summary.html of test results using the Sun Studio compiler: it is intended that these will be updated weekly. The Sun Studio compiler is that used on Solaris: these runs were on the Linux version. All the other platforms are using gcc 4, so this provides an opportunity for checking for use of gcc-specific features and

We are now starting testing R 2.13.0/alpba/beta/RC and testing and feedback would be appreciated (whereas reports on problems immediately after release will try our patience). Sources are available at http://cran.r-project.org/src/base-prerelease/ Windows binaries at http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rtest.html and Mac binaries at http://r.research.att.com/, specifically

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:

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

--=-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'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]]

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. I am left with this error: ------------------------------------------ installing R info pages ... updating '/usr/share/info/dir' ... make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/poisonivy/rpmbuild/BUILD/R-3.2.2/doc/manual' + mv

I've got a package I would like to send out for testing and have noticed a "problem" with the \tabular portion of the help "compiler" the code for inserting vertical lines, in the tabular environment, causes the build to choke, but not the check command.

Full_Name: Robin Hankin Version: 2.4.0 RC OS: MacOSX 10.4.7 Submission from: (NULL) (139.166.242.29) The first cut line described in Trig.Rd for asin() is incorrect in the ascii version of the manpage. The Rd file reads: For \code{asin()} and \code{acos()}, there are two cuts, both along the real axis: \eqn{\left(-\infty, -1\right]}{\(-Inf, 1\]} and Note the inconsistency between the

Friends, I'm trying to pass an equation as an argument to a function. The idea is as follows. Let us say i write an independent function Ideal Situation: ifunc <- function(x) { return((x*x)-2) } mainfunc <- function(a,b) { evala <- ifunc(a) evalb <- ifunc(b) if (evala>evalb){return(evala)} else return(evalb) } Now I want to try and write this entire program in a single

Do I understand correctly that we don't want Rd files to be valid latex ? This seems odd to me. I see that `tools::parse_Rd()` doesn't like `\verb!foo!` so maybe roxygen2 is actually doing the right thing (as opposed to just trying to) ? `parse_Rd() ` is probably what I need indeed, for some reason I hadn't found it, so that should fix my own issue here thanks a lot. Le ven. 21 juil.

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

Hello! I'm a college undergrad desperately trying to finish up my thesis. I have a dataset on the distribution of a grassland bird from the Breeding Bird Survey. I have a very straightforward and simple version of the logistic growth model to describe changes in this bird's abundance over time. The variables are the natural birth rate, mortality, and carrying capacity. The equation itself
