Dear all Colleague of mine ask me if R is capable of Andrews plot like andrewsplot(x) in Matlab. Quick search did not reveal anything but before I start to write any routine I would like to ask this ingenious audience if there is any implementation of Andrews plots somewhere. I know about parallel coordinate plots in lattice (although I do not use them as I am not sure what the plot tells

Hi, Does anybody know, what is going on here? > diag(sqrt(1)) [,1] [1,] 1 > diag(sqrt(0.3333)) <0 x 0 matrix> > sqrt(1) [1] 1 > sqrt(0.3333) [1] 0.5773214 BR, Markku Karhunen researcher University of Helsinki

Hello list, I use R for microarray analysis. One procedure I use takes a large matrix, and loops through it looking for specific rows, does an operation with them, and outputs a result (single row) as a row of another matrix. The loop goes on about 25000 times. When I run the loop directly from the R console itself, it takes about 3 minutes in my computer. I'm ok with that. Now,

Hello, (This is a remix of this previous thread: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2009-August/054264.html , but with a concrete example) I am developing some packages that contain scripts (for Rscript) and would like to know what is the best/recommended way to ship these scripts. An example is the "ant" package (R capable version of apache ant, see http://tr.im/xHLs). The

Hello, This is to announce the first release of the "ant" R package, which has been pushed to CRAN yesterday, and should reach your mirror and your platform soon. The package provides an R-aware version of the famous build tool from the apache project. http://ant.apache.org/ The package ships an R script that can be used to invoke ant with enough plumbing so that it can use R

Hi, Is is possible to embed inside an R script, the name of the default packages to be loaded when the script is invoked with Rscript. I know about the --default-packages argument, but I was wondering if there was a mechanism to embed this information within the script itself Romain -- Romain Francois Professional R Enthusiast +33(0) 6 28 91 30 30 http://romainfrancois.blog.free.fr |-

Hello, I am using "R CMD INSTALL --clean" so that when my package is finished installed, a cleanup script is executed to post-process the generated html index file and add some more information. The cleanup (or cleanup.win script eventually calls the R code below) This works well, but it depends on the --clean switch. Is there another way, or can I force --clean (for example from

It would be nifty to incorporate this into R or into an R package: http://sourcefrog.net/projects/natsort/

Rprof seems to ignore all time spent inside system() calls. E.g., this simple example actually takes about 10 seconds, but Rprof thinks the total time is only 0.12 seconds: > Rprof("sleep-system.out") ; system.time(system(command="sleep 10")) ; Rprof(NULL) user system elapsed 0.000 0.004 10.015 > summaryRprof("sleep-system.out")$by.total

For many years, when my R process starts up I've been automatically setting my preferred default plot colors, basically like so: my.colors <- c("black" ,"red" ,"gold" ,"sky blue" ,"green" ,"blue" ,"orange" ,"grey" ,"hot pink" ,"brown" ,"sea green" ,"cyan"

I recently started using R 2.7.2, and noticed a surprising change in the behavior of var() on NA data: R 2.6.1 (Patched), 2007-11-26, svn.rev 43541, x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu: > stdev(rep(NA,3), na.rm=F) [1] NA > stdev(rep(NA,3), na.rm=T) [1] NA > var(rep(NA,3), na.rm=T, use="complete.obs") [1] NA R 2.7.2 (Patched), 2008-09-02, svn.rev 46491,

I want to create my own "[" function (for use on vectors, matrices, arrays, etc.), which calls the stock R "[", does some additional work, and then finally returns the modified result. But, how do I properly call the stock R "[" function? It takes a varying number of positional arguments, and its R-level closure is just: .Primitive("[") It's

On Linux x86-64 (Ubuntu 6.06), the latest R sources from the Subversion trunk fail to build with the following "recompile with -fPIC" error: $ ./configure --with-x=yes --prefix=$inst_dir --enable-R-shlib --with-tcltk=/usr/lib/tcl8.4 --with-tcl-config=/usr/lib/tcl8.4/tclConfig.sh $ make /usr/bin/ld: ../appl/approx.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be

One of the great things about R is how readable and re-usable much of its own implementation is. If an R function doesn't do quite what you want but is close, it is usually very easy to read its code and start adapting that as the base for a modified version. In the 2.x versions of R, that was the case with read.table(). It was easy to experiment with its source code, as it all worked just

For using R's .Call interface to C functions, all the examples I've seen have the C function return type SEXP. Why? What does R actually do with this return type? What happens if I *don't* return a SEXP? Reason I ask, is I've written some R code which allocates two long lists, and then calls a C function with .Call. My C code writes to those two pre-allocated lists, thus, I

Hi, Has anyone succeeded in cross-compiling R to Linux on an ARM CPU? If so, can you share a little about your toolchain & build process? Thanks! [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

--rwEMma7ioTxnRzrJ Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline R, like recent versions of S-Plus, sometimes - but not always - loses names when subscripting objects with "[". (Earlier versions of S and S-Plus had the correct, name-preserving behavior.) This seems bad, it would be better to remove names only by explicit request, not as an accidental

Dear developers, is there (already) a platform-independent way for (temporarily!) changing the fpu control word? More precisely: I am looking for functions (accessible from C code in R packages) which read and write the fpu control word on x86 cpus (and cause no harm otherwise), because I need to (temporarily) turn off internal 80-bit precision for some algorithms relying on 64-bit IEEE

Dear R Users; Perl is the common language to write CGI scripts which handle Forms. My question is that can R be as fast as perl to do the same job(with using CGIwithR package). Is it an optimal solution to connect R directly to a commercial HTML webpages, Sincerely, Sean
