similar to: Identifying graphics files produced by R

Thanks to all those that responded to the question below, either on-list or privately. The bottom line is that there's no identifying information from R in the metadata for PNG or JPG files (and R doesn't produce GIFs). I did however figure out a way to automate a search for PDF and PostScript files produced by R, and the details are here:

Hi all - has anyone ot and experienced problems with R+. Have downloaded the trail and it will not work -does it need vista (like it says on the box!) Thanks glenn [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi everyone, Thanks for the help in advance. I just want to know if there is absolutely any way of using multicore if my loop can't run in parallel as each iteration depends on the previous iteration. I have Windows R 2.9.2 and REvolution R Enterprise 2.0 for Windows 64 bit. I also have if necessary R on Ubuntu. 8gb of ram and a core 2 duo processor but I could use a quad core as well. Many

I found the following document on making R packages. But it is old. I'm wondering if there is more current ones and hopefully more complete ones. http://biosun1.harvard.edu/courses/individual/bio271/lectures/L6/Rpkg.pdf

I write about R every weekday at http://blog.revolution-computing.com . In case you missed them, here are some articles from last month of particular interest to R users. http://bit.ly/tygLz announced the release of the "foreach" and "iterators" packages on CRAN, for simple scalable parallel programming in R. http://bit.ly/FDS67 linked to Thomas Levin's Joy-Division-esque

It runs more than twice as slowly using 8 core than using a single core in inverting large matrix.

Hi, I was told to use "<-" instead of "=" in the mailing list. I am wondering what the difference between them? Regards, Peng

There are now several R geographic user groups, and a few have mailing lists on the R mailing list system. Thanks to Martin M, there's also a pointer to a page I'm maintaining to list/describe the groups. The page is at http://macnash.telfer.uottawa.ca/RUG.html Contact me if you have a listing. I'm prepared to wikify it if there is sufficient interest. John Nash

Dear all, I am totally confused by the following R output, but don't have a clue for it. > a <- 1 - 0.2 > a == 0.8 [1] TRUE > a <- 1 - 0.8 > a == 0.2 [1] FALSE > a <- 1 - 0.5 > a == 0.5 [1] TRUE > a <- 1 - 0.6 > a == 0.4 [1] TRUE > a <- 1 - 0.9 > a == 0.1 [1] FALSE My R version is Windows XP R version 2.8.1 (2008-12-22).

*(note*: This is an R community question, not a statistical nor coding question. Since this is my first time writing such a post, I hope no one will take offence of it.) Hello all, I will be attending useR 2009 next week, and was wondering if there are any of you who are *bloggers *intending to participate and report on useR 2009? If so - I would love to know your blogs URL so as to follow you.

Hi all, I have successfully built from source the 32-bit version of R on my Vista 64-bit box. I was hoping to graduate to a 64-bit version so I could analyze some larger data sets. I have 8gb RAM installed. I downloaded the latest 64-bit versions of Perl and MinGW but wasn't sure how to edit the source code to have it build using the 64-bit versions. I did change my PATH variable to

It seems like a recent trend in R has been to make character vectors and factors almost equivalent (apart from the way that factors always remember their original range). There are a few exceptions: * summary.character != summary.factor * table(x, exclude = NULL) != table(factor(x), exclude=NULL) when x includes missing values * strsplit on a factor > strsplit(factor(c("a",

Hi, I have good understanding on Econometrics and statistical techniques. However, I am new to R. What would be the best way to learn R as I would be one of the few in my team started exploring R in your team. I have got a few downloads on R introduction, but I am not a FAN of online reading. Can some one guide me with some books on R and statistical models using R. Sincere thanks.... And

Greetings, I usually read this mailing list through google groups (http://groups.google.com/group/r-help-archive), but when I opened the webpage this morning it said: "The group named r-help-archive has been removed because it violated Google's Terms Of Service." Is there an alternative website which uses a similar structure to google groups? I had a quick browse on the R Wiki

Hi list, My attention was drawn to the foreach package by recent posts...I decided to have a look... I'm using R.2.9.1 on Windows, I have downloaded the foreach package today (v 1.2.1), together with iterators (v. 1.0.1) and codetools (v.0.2-2). Full of hope I try the most simple thing of all out of the package vignette : > x <- foreach(i = 1:3) %do% sqrt(i) and get : > Erreur

Hello dear R-help group (and David Smith from REvolution), I would like to perform parallel computing using R with Condor (hopefully using foreach or other recommended solutions, if available) for some "Embarrassingly parallel" problem. I will start by listing what I found so far, and then go on asking for help. So far I found the a manual by Xianhong Xie from Rnews_2005-2 (see page

For example with data like > ge product response scenario 1 wine 5 base 2 steel 10 base 3 sugar 4 base 4 wine -10 policy 5 steel 1 policy 6 sugar -20 policy (In reality there would be similar groups of data of

Hi there ! I'm ploting graphics and I'd like to save them as a .jpeg file for example, but with a given size (in inches or cm). I tryed the function windows() but I think it just changes the size of the window and not the size of the graph that you're saving. Then I tryed with the function par(din=(width=... height=...) ) but I guess it's protected and I can't change the
