here appears to be a bug in the foreign library. The following code used to work, but now generates an error when 'package="SAS"' is specified: ds <- read.csv("http://www.math.smith.edu/sasr/datasets/help.csv") # running foreign package version 0.8-30 library(foreign) # this works fine write.foreign(ds, "foo", "bar", package="Stata") #

I posted previously about problems with X11() on my MAC using R 2.8.1 . After installing the securilty update for Tiger this morning, X11() now works from an xterm :-) However, I receive the following warnings with any plotting command using the default X11 settings. Fontconfig warning: no <cachedir> elements found. Check configuration. Fontconfig warning: adding

My goal is to create a graph with one column and three rows into a single graphic. The mfrow, mfcol, and layout functions all have the same effect: three graphs are produced in a single pdf file, having one graph per page. This is not what I want (I didn't want multiple pages). Just before I sent this post, I was able to generate the desired output with split.screen. Is this the expected

Consider all the text that one sees on the console during an R session. Is there a way, within R, to make all this text--both the "output" and the "messages"--automatically get copied to a single text file, in addition to seeing it on the console? If I remember to save the console to a file at the end of my R session, that does it. But (1) That requires pointing and

Appologies if this has been addressed before, but I can't seem to find it in the help archives. I'm looking to do something like the following but it looks like save.plot is deprecated. save.plot(plot(glm1$residuals,gain,main = "Hist of residuals and gain"),file="Desktop/hist1.png") Thanks in advance, Sean Session Info: R version 2.9.1 (2009-06-26)

Dear all, For an open-source project that I'm working on (1), which uses R for all its heavy lifting but includes a wrapper shell script, I was hoping to find a way to capture all warnings (and, in fact, errors too), and handle them in my own way. I realise I can do this for a single expression using something like: > f <- function(w) print(w$message) >

Dear all, I had trouble in setting up WinBUGS on my Mac, and I'm seeking for some help here. I followed the instruction by Tom Palmer here: http://www.ruudwetzels.com/MacBUGS/winbugsonmacosx.pdf I installed Darwine 1.1.21, and downloaded WinBUGS14. However, when I double-clicked the WinBUGS14.exe file, a black-box dialog window poped up, and I got error message in the Wine log as

Greetings, I am attempting to run a function, which produces a vector and requires two input variables, across two nested factor levels. I can do this using by(X, list(factor1, factor2), function), however I haven't found a simple way to extract the list output into an organized vector form. I can do this using nested loops but it isn't exactly an optimal approach. Thank you

I've got read.table to successfully read in my table of three columns. Most of the time I will have a set number of rows, but sometime that will be variable and sometimes there will be only be two variables in one row, e.g. Time Loc1 Loc2 1 22.33 44.55 2 66.77 88.99 3 222.33344.55 4 66.77 88.99 Is there any way to have read.table handle (1) a variable number of rows, and (2) sometime there

The documentation for the OutDec option says that it should be a 'one-character string'; yet, if I try a unicode character, it doesn't seem to work. Are unicode chars not counted as one-character? This is within the mac GUI, but I also see this on linux boxes. > x <- '\u00B7' > nchar(x) [1] 1 > options(OutDec=x) Error in options(OutDec = x) : invalid value for

I observed the following: match.arg("white", colors()) yields 'white', but match.arg("whit", colors()) yields: `Error in match.arg("whit", colors()) : 'arg' should be one of "white", "aliceblue", '... this message actually comes from `pmatch'. using a suitable subset of `colors()' works OK. the precise length

I get the error Error : evaluation nested too deeply: infinite recursion / options(expressions=)? during a 'R CMD check ...' on one of my packages. The reason seems to be that this package is mutually dependent on another one (i.e. the DESCRIPTION files of package A lists package B under "Depends" and vice versa). this might be bad design (having bits in both packages needed

Hello Everyone. I?m on a Mac, using rgl. Thanks to all the developers and maintainers on it! If I drag the mouse, I can rotate the view, if I hold down the option key or the ctrl key and drag, I get scaling (though at times I seem to alter the perspective?). Adding the shift key doesn't seem to modify anything. So, what I can't find is a key combination that translates the object.
