similar to: bug in `pmatch' (error with too long 'choices')?

I get the error Error : evaluation nested too deeply: infinite recursion / options(expressions=)? during a 'R CMD check ...' on one of my packages. The reason seems to be that this package is mutually dependent on another one (i.e. the DESCRIPTION files of package A lists package B under "Depends" and vice versa). this might be bad design (having bits in both packages needed

Dear all, I would be pleased if anyone could help me. The Rhelp description for the figs parameter is "a two-element vector describing the number of rows and colunns in a screen matrix". So, why does my code (below) produce a 2x1 screen matrix instead of a 1x2 one? Thanks in advance, rodrigo. ----------------------------------------------------------- plot.new()

I posted previously about problems with X11() on my MAC using R 2.8.1 . After installing the securilty update for Tiger this morning, X11() now works from an xterm :-) However, I receive the following warnings with any plotting command using the default X11 settings. Fontconfig warning: no <cachedir> elements found. Check configuration. Fontconfig warning: adding

I've got read.table to successfully read in my table of three columns. Most of the time I will have a set number of rows, but sometime that will be variable and sometimes there will be only be two variables in one row, e.g. Time Loc1 Loc2 1 22.33 44.55 2 66.77 88.99 3 222.33344.55 4 66.77 88.99 Is there any way to have read.table handle (1) a variable number of rows, and (2) sometime there

The documentation for the OutDec option says that it should be a 'one-character string'; yet, if I try a unicode character, it doesn't seem to work. Are unicode chars not counted as one-character? This is within the mac GUI, but I also see this on linux boxes. > x <- '\u00B7' > nchar(x) [1] 1 > options(OutDec=x) Error in options(OutDec = x) : invalid value for

Same behavior was noted on R 2.9.0 OS X and WIndows. > t(sapply(seq(0.01, .99, length=20), function(x) c(x, length(agrep("Staatssekretar im Bundeskanzleramt","Bundeskanzler",max.distance=x))))) [1,] 0.01000000 0 [2,] 0.06157895 0 [3,] 0.11315789 0 [4,] 0.16473684 0 [5,] 0.21631579 0 [6,] 0.26789474 0 [7,] 0.31947368 0 [8,] 0.37105263 0 [9,]

here appears to be a bug in the foreign library. The following code used to work, but now generates an error when 'package="SAS"' is specified: ds <- read.csv("http://www.math.smith.edu/sasr/datasets/help.csv") # running foreign package version 0.8-30 library(foreign) # this works fine write.foreign(ds, "foo", "bar", package="Stata") #

<<insert bug report here>> This is a CRITICAL bug!!! I have verified it in R 2.8.1 for mac and for windows. The problem is with loess degree=0 smoothing. For example, try the following: x <- 1:100 y <- rnorm(100) plot(x, y) lines(predict(loess(y ~ x, degree=0, span=0.5))) This is obviously wrong.

My goal is to create a graph with one column and three rows into a single graphic. The mfrow, mfcol, and layout functions all have the same effect: three graphs are produced in a single pdf file, having one graph per page. This is not what I want (I didn't want multiple pages). Just before I sent this post, I was able to generate the desired output with split.screen. Is this the expected

Hi all, I've finally started to use Rscript for my statistical scripting needs, and find I'm being blocked by what must be a very simple problem. Specifically, the command lines for my scripts usually contain: (1) the script name, (2) one or more options and their arguments, and finally, (3) one or more filenames to be processed. While the "getopt" package seems to provide

Appologies if this has been addressed before, but I can't seem to find it in the help archives. I'm looking to do something like the following but it looks like save.plot is deprecated. save.plot(plot(glm1$residuals,gain,main = "Hist of residuals and gain"),file="Desktop/hist1.png") Thanks in advance, Sean Session Info: R version 2.9.1 (2009-06-26)

I am trying to install a package from a collaborator that was given to me as a zip file. I'm running R 2.9.0 using Mac OSX 10.5.7 [R.app GUI 1.28 (5395) i386-apple-darwin8.11.1] foo.zip contains all the usual package directories (man, R, R-ex, etc) After unzipping foo, I used the following commands. $ R CMD INSTALL foo * Installing to library

The pmatch help (see also section 4.3.2 in the R Language Definition) claims that pmatch with duplicates.ok=FALSE provides the same functionality as R's argument matching algorithm, modulo how empty strings are matched. Here's an undocumented inconsistency between pmatch and R's argument matching algorithm: > sessionInfo() R version 3.0.1 (2013-05-16) Platform:

I am using R0.64.1 under Windows 95. The help for `pmatch' states that: If `duplicates.ok' is false multiple matches will result in the value of `nomatch' being returned, and if it is true, the index of the first matching value will be returned. The help for pmatch gives the following examples: pmatch("m", c("mean",

Hi, I wonder if there's a good intro to the pattern matching using R? I'm a perl programer and find it too confusing and complex to use regular expressions under R. For instance, why does pmatch("d","ad") returns NULL? How would I call the functions in order to match any portion of the string? Under what circumstances shall backslush be used? I try to extract all

Hi, Somebody asked me to make sure that all the machines running the in our lab (XP and Linux, both running 2.0) have R installed and that A) All the packages are installed and B) kept up-to-date. Obediently, I began to modify a shared Rprofile so that once a week it checks for new packages and updates to the current version of the installed packages on CRAN. Sounds simple enough. Plus some

Hello R Helpers, Business - 64 bit windows 7, R 2.11.1 I am trying to match the character contents of one list, called 'exclude', to those of a second list, called 'dataset' dataset is a list of file names with folder locations, and looks like this when called: > dataset [1] "A/10-10-29a-13.cdf" "A/10-10-29a-14.cdf" "A/10-10-29a-15.cdf"

Greetings, I am attempting to run a function, which produces a vector and requires two input variables, across two nested factor levels. I can do this using by(X, list(factor1, factor2), function), however I haven't found a simple way to extract the list output into an organized vector form. I can do this using nested loops but it isn't exactly an optimal approach. Thank you

Dear list, I'm quite surprised by this, unit(1:5,"char")[-c(1:2)] #4char 3char # what's going on?? while I expected something like, c(1:5)[-c(1:2)] # 3 4 5 Note that, unit(1:5,"char")[c(1:2)] # 1char 2char # fine ?unit warns about unit.c for concatenating, but also says, It is possible to subset unit objects in the normal way (e.g.,
