similar to: Sys.setlocale

I noticed the same thing as I reported below, when I upgraded from R-2.0.0-alpha-20040918 to today's beta version: 'R CMD check' failed as before; but after cleaning 'src' from .o and .so files, it worked again. So the two-day-old '.so' file is obviously different from today's. Has compiler directives changed in the two last days? Or what is happening? G?ran On

<I was not sure if this should go to R-devel or R-help. If I e-mailed this to the wrong place, please let me know.> Hello dear R-devel members, I came by an oddity, with regards to how character variables are being transformed when they are in Hebrew, and when Sys.setlocale is changed. Here is an example: # first, let's set the locale to Hebrew Sys.setlocale("LC_ALL",

Contrary to, say, Sys.setenv(), Sys.setlocale() returns it's value visibly. This means that if you for instance add: Sys.setlocale("LC_COLLATE", "C") to your .Rprofile file, it will print: [1] "C" at startup. The workaround is to wrap the call in invisible(), but I'd argue that any "setter" function should return invisibly. Some more details:

Related to the following question on Stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44723690/unexpected-behavior-of-sys-setlocale#44723690 It appears as if Sys.setlocale() does not update LC_TIME correctly for use in date formatting. Although R reports that LC_TIME is changed to the new setting after use of Sys.setlocale(), as.Date() still uses the old settings. The only way to update this is

Inspired by this old Stack Overflow question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19765610/when-does-locale-affect-rs-regular-expressions I was wondering why this is TRUE: Sys.setlocale("LC_ALL", "et_EE") grepl("[A-Z]", "T") TRE's documentation at <https://laurikari.net/tre/documentation/regex-syntax/> says that a range "is shorthand for

Can you help me to use Sys.setlocale("LC_NUMERIC", "cs_CZ") (comma as a decimal point) in some useful way, without all the workarounds? After switching to Sys.setlocale("LC_NUMERIC", "cs_CZ"): -- How do I set attributes in read.csv2() not to get columns of real numbers (decimal point = comma, field separator = semicolon) as factors?

Dear R users, I'm trying to have a gWiddgetsRGtk2 script run under R-2.4.1. The script run OK under Linux but all accentuated characters appear as "?" when the script is run under Windows. As Gtk+ requires UTF-8, I thought it was the source of the problem and tried to change the default encoding (1252) in the following way:

When reading an spss file, I get the following message: Warning message: ../totmorH.sav: Unrecognized record type 7, subtype 13 encountered in system file. What does it mean? Do I have to worry? The result looks as expected. I do not have (easy) access to SPSS, so I cannot check exactly that I got what I should have. Thanks, G??ran And, I'm using R-2.0.1 on Debian testing (from source).

I will be giving a course in survival analysis using R (of course!) for people who know nothing about the subject (including R), but know basic statistics. I'm looking for a suitable course book. Therneau & Grambsch (2000) is an excellent book, but too much for this course. I need somthing more elementary. I have a vague memory saying that such books exist, but I cannot find any for the

I have a data frame containing children, with variables 'year' = birth year, and 'm.id' = mother's id number. Let's assume that all the births of each mother is represented in the data frame. Now I want to create a subset of this data frame containing all children, whose mother's first birth was in the year 1816 or later. This seems to work: mid <-

Dear R-helpers, In a data set I got from a medical doctor there are six treatment groups and (about) 5 bivariate responses in each group. Using 'manova', it is easy to see significant differences in treatment effects, but the doctor is more interested in the correlation between the two responses (within groups). I'm willing to assume a common value over groups, and one way of

A few days ago I uploaded to CRAN a new package called 'eha', which stands for 'Event History Analysis'. Its main focus is on proportional hazards modeling in survival analysis, and in that respect eha can be regarded as a complement and an extension to the 'survival' package. In fact eha requires survival. Eha contains three functions for proportional hazards

I have two versions of R on my Debian testing: R-1.9.0 (precompiled) and R-1.9.1-alpha of 2004-06-07 (built on my system). In the latter, I get > system("emacs sim.R &") > emacs: standard input is not a tty while with R-1.9.0 it works as expected. I have absolutely no idea about what's going on, so I could use some help. Anyone? Thanks, G?ran -- G?ran Brostr?m

I have been bitten by what is clearly described on the help page for 'sample', namely sampling from a population of size one. I agree that it is convenient to have an exception if 'length(x) == 1', but my suggestion is to enforce the exception only if 'x' is numeric. In any case, if x is not numeric and of length 1, all you get is an error message. I would like

I am calling 'vmmin' several times from a C function (which is called via .C). It works very well, except for memory consumption. The cause is that vmmin allocates memory via R_alloc, and this memory is not freed as vmmin exits. Instead all the allocated memory is freed on return of the .C call. In one application, I have 2000 functions of 500 variables each to minimize. In each call to

Reading about 'R_max_col' in "Writing R extensions", Version 2.1.0,(2005-01-03), I find: "Given the nr by nc matrix matrix in row ("FORTRAN") order, ..." Looks like a contradiction to me, since FORTRAN stores matrices columnwise. So is this a documentation bug? -- G?ran Brostr?m tel: +46 90 786 5223 Department of Statistics
