similar to: Error in help file for quantile()

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

The generic stats::median method is defined as median <- function (x, na.rm = FALSE) {UseMethod("median")} I suggest that this should become median <- function (x, na.rm = FALSE, ...) {UseMethod("median")} This would allow additional S3 methods to be developed with additional arguments. Currently I have to over-ride this generic definition in the demography

I am trying to get a dll compiled for use with dyn.load. I use R.1.7.1 under Windows. I have tried the following trivial example based on the "Writing R extensions" manual. rtest.h -------- class X { public: X (); ~X (); void Give7(double*); }; class Y { public: Y (); ~Y (); }; rtest.cpp --------- #include <iostream.h> #include "rtest.h" static Y y;

Can we please have a ... argument in median() to make it possible to pass arguments to specific methods. _____________________________ Rob J Hyndman Professor of Statistics, Monash University Editor-in-Chief, International Journal of Forecasting http://www.robhyndman.info/ [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I'm trying to fit a mixed-effects model of the form Y = a + bX + cZ + e where X are fixed effects and Z are random. i.e., c is a vector of random coefficients with mean 0. There is no "grouping" variable such as would be used with longitudinal data. Can the nlme package handle this sort of thing? Although it is a simpler model than would be used with grouped data, I can't seem

I've been successfully using a dll via dyn.load() with R1.6.0 for Windows, but when I try it under R1.6.1 it manages to crash the program completely. Has there been a change in how R1.6.1 handles dynamic loading? I couldn't spot any such changes in the documentation. This problem occurred on two different machines, and both run the code under R1.6.0 without a problem. Rob Hyndman

The decompose() function truncates the seasonal component unnecessarily. I've modified the function to fix this problem, and also added the original data to the object returned (to enable better plotting). I've also modified the plot.decomposed.ts() function so that it plots the original data in the top panel rather than the reconstructed data. The difference between the two is that the

Has anyone got a function for smooth monotonic interpolation of a univariate function? I'm after something like the NAG function PCHIM which does monotonic Hermite interpolation. Alternatively, montononic cubic spline interpolation. Please reply directly.

Dear R-Users, How can I compute simple moving averages from a time series in R? Note that I do not want to estimate a MA model, just compute the MA's given a lenght (as excel does).

v1.0 of the forecasting bundle of packages is now on CRAN and will propagate to mirrors shortly. The forecasting bundle of R packages provides new forecasting methods, and graphical tools for displaying and analysing forecasts. It comprises the following packages: * forecast: Functions and methods for forecasting. * fma: All data sets from Makridakis, Wheelwright and Hyndman

Hi, I tried to use the Croston function from the forecasting package 1.24<http://robjhyndman.com/software/forecasting> with the code below, but I get in return this message "*Error in decompose(ts(x[1L:wind], start = start(x), frequency = f), seasonal) : time series has no or less than 2 periods*". histValues

Hello R help I have been trying to use Rob Hyndman's monotonically increasing spline function. But like another user or two seem have a problem with a missing DLL (namely "spline_coef"). None of the previous help postings seemed to have any solutions to this problem. As per a Ripley suggestion I have deleted all previous versions of R and reinstalled R 2.7.0 and the problem

Dear all, I'm looking for how can I estimate a linear model with ar(ma) errors : y(t)=a*X(t)+e(t) with P(B)e(t)=Q(B)u(t) where u is a white noise and P, Q are some polynomes. Could you help me ? Gr?gory Benmenzer

Hi, I am using the package "demography" from Rob Hyndman for the Lee-Carter-Model. It is an amazing powerful tool but I am struggling with one issue: *I want to compute different quintiles for the cumulative survival probability derived from the Lee-Carter-Forecast (e.g. the 50%-quintile, 75%-quintile and 99%-quintile) for the next 10 years. * I am sure the package possess this
