Hi all, When I install a new package, and don't yet know any function names, I have to play the "poor man's game" to get to the standard help system "Index" page for the package: Poor Man's Game -=20 Load new package;=20 issue search() command; find position (say N) of loaded package;=20 issue objects(pos =3D N) command; get name of a random function (san

[Env: Win Xp] Is there any options() setting or call to help() or help.start() that will allow me to view a help file for a package built under R 2.10.x under R 2.9.2? I'm using both R 2.9.2 and R 2.10.1, but prefer the former because the CHM help is so much easier to use. Yet, if I install a package built for R 2.10.x, I can't find *any* way to display a help file in this package.

Hi, I would need some help in solving a problem with my R. Whenever I try to type " ?paste " or in general any command for the html help in R, I receive this error message. The strange thing is that I have never had this kind of problem in the past with R, and now I really don't understand why it says that. Also I have selected every single element in the installation process. The

I just built a package in R (version 2.1.1 on a Linux machine) and then moved it to my computer (R version 2.8.1 on a Windows machine). When I loaded the package and tried to open help for one of the commands, I got the following warning: Warning message: In print.help_files_with_topic("F:/R/R-2.8.1/library/REEMtree/chm/RMSE") : No CHM help for 'RMSE' in package

Hello, Apologies in advance if this should be in R-devel, not Rhelp. I did read through the R-devel thread started by Gabor Grothendieck in September of this year - I am getting the exact same error using a new computer that has XP installed, not vista, complaining that the file hhc.exe is not found. I have downloaded the hhc.exe to HTML Help Workshop dir in Program Files but it says that

Hi all, Is there a way to navigate directly to the "Index" page of help for a package? Here's my connundrum: I download and install package "foo". I don't know what functions are in package "foo", so I can't invoke the help for package "foo" via > ?someFunction help(package = "foo") pops up some non-hyperlinked information page,

Hi list, When I type my question in R console using ? sign (example: ?par, when I want to query for par), the following error message popps up: Error in print.help_files_with_topic("C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-24~1.1/library/maps/chm/map") : CHM file could not be displayed I appreciate if any body comes back to me with the solution. Regards, Alireza [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi R-devels, would it be possible to enhance either promptPackage() or the default indexing mechanism for packages so that -- if it exists -- (the contents of) file <pkgname>-package.Rd is sorted first in * the .dvi / .pdf documentation file * the .chm documentation file * the package 00index.html documentation file ? So far I found the following "hand-made" solution

Hi, I was trying to read some help of functions and in all functions I try to see is giving me this error: > ?write.table Erro em print.help_files_with_topic("C:/ARQUIV~1/R/R-29~1.0/library/utils/chm/write.table") : CHM file could not be displayed Anybody knows what is happening?

The warnings from make.packages.html() on the Apple Mac OS X platform can be dealt with as follows: ------------------------------------------------ (1) make.packages.html() uses the function tempdir() and attempts to create a temporary directory in the default location /tmp/ which fails due to the /tmp directory architecture on the Mac.

It's a bug in summary.aareg which no one found until now. What's wrong: If dfbeta=TRUE then there is a second estimate of variance calculated, labeled as test.var2. If maxtime is set, then both estimates of variance need to be recalculated by the summary routine. An incorrect if-then-else flow led it to look for test.var2 when it wasn't relevant. My test cases with maxtime also

Hi all, I have been having problems generating png files on a Mac running OS X 10.6.8. Here's a simple example > png("foo.png", type = "cairo"); plot(1:10); dev.off(); null device 1 libpng warning: Application built with libpng-1.2.26 but running with 1.5.2 The resultant file is of size 0 Kb. Is this the proper place to report this issue? Or should

Hi all, I've ventured into the world of nonparametric survival and I would like to use the "maxtime" option for printing and plotting my aareg fit. However, my fit does not have "test.var2" and this stops the print and plot when adding a maxtime. My code is as follows: Response<-Surv(Time,Event) Model<-aareg(Response~Factor1*Factor2)
