similar to: mboost_1.1-3 blackboost_fit (PR#13972)

mboost contains a blackboost method to build tree-based boosting models. I tried to write my own "cost-sensitive" ada family. But obviously my understanding to implement ngradient, loss, and offset functions is not right. I would greatly appreciate if anyone can help me out, or show me how to write a cost-sensitive family, thanks! Follows are some families I wrote ngradient <-

Hello dear R-help mailing list. Looks like the same issue in Russian: library(RCurl) library(XML) u = " http://www.cian.ru/cat.php?deal_type=2&obl_id=1&room1=1" a = getURL(u) a # Here - the Russian is fine. a2 <- htmlParse(a) a2 # Here it is a mess... None of these seem to fix it: htmlParse(a, encoding = "windows-1251") htmlParse(a, encoding =

I am writing bindings to the neural network simulator SNNS. At present I have used only .C interface, now I'm studying .Call interface. I have adapted the example from page 77 of r-exts.pdf, however, it crashes R. I use MingW as recommended by Duncan Murdoch. Please, tell me what I am missing. The code is below. Thank you. SEXP snns_getVersion(void) {SEXP version; char *v;

I am writing a package, which contains several functions and variables. The variables are for internal use by functions. Functions are ment to be callable by a user. However, the function cannot access these variables. The package contains only R code, and was created using package.skeleton package.skeleton(name="ac9", list=c(ls(pattern="(AB2)|(ac9)"),

It seems, I don't understand something, or there is a bug in R. I have made some experiments after my yesterday post about using "=" with -e switch to the Rscript. Now, I've found: (1) C:\users\wl\trainings\r>rscript --verbose -e "mean(x=1:3)" running 'C:\Program Files\R\bin\Rterm.exe --slave --no-restore -e mean(x=1:3)' Error in -args : invalid

Hello, I do not have an account on R Bugzilla, so I will post my bug report here. I want to report a very old bug in base R *source()* function. It relates to sourcing some R scripts in UTF-8 encoding on Windows machines. For some reason if the UTF-8 script is containing cyrillic letter *"?"*, the script execution is interrupted directly on this letter (btw the same scripts are sourcing

(the same mail was sent to the author) When I called the function DEoptim with control=list(strategy=1) or control=list(strategy=2) I got the error: Error in mui[rtd + 1, i] : incorrect number of dimensions Analysis of the source code of the DEoptim reveals the following fragment if (con$strategy > 5) st <- con$strategy - 5 ## binomial crossover else { st <-

My understanding (which could be wrong) is that when you source a file, it first gets translated to your native locale and then parsed. When you parse a character vector, it does not get translated. In your locale, every "?" character (U+044F) gets replaced by the byte "\xFF": > iconv("\u044f", "UTF-8", "Windows-1251") [1]

Hi all R users, I'm trying to replicate the same results that are given in a published article after been granted the same data that the authors use. I'm having problems to determine the cointegration rank of my data set using the Johnasen's trace test. This trace test is already programmed in the package ur.ca and can be found in the function ca.jo(). After I run the ca.jo()

Hi, Could anyone help me understand how the mincriterion threshold works in ctree and cforest of the party package? I've seen examples which state that to satisfy the p < 0.05 condition before splitting I should use mincriterion = 0.95 while the documentation suggests I should use mincriterion = qnorm(0.95) which would obviously feed the function a different value. Thanks in advance,

Fedora 9 R 2.7.1 I tried to install R on my Linux system using install.packages("Rcmdr", dependencies=TRUE). I received many, many, many error messages. I hope someone can suggest a fix. The output from warnings() is listed below. A more detailed list of errors from one of the failed installations is listed below the warnings: > warnings() Warning messages: 1: In
