Dear DevelopeRs, in continuing with my suite of packages on experimental design, I am stuck with an issue that appears to be related to package AlgDesign - I have tried to get it solved by Bob Wheeler, but he seems to be stuck as well. Whenever AlgDesign is loaded, some of my code does not work any more. For example, in a fresh R session: require(DoE.base) fac.design(nlevels=c(2,6,2))

Ulrike, if you install from source, you always get the most recent version of the package given it does not depend on a newer version of R. If you want a binary package, you also get the newest version - that was newest at the time we stopped building binaries for that version of R. We (or better I if we only talk about Windows, but similar for all other platforms) cannot build for each R

Full_Name: Ulrike Groemping Version: 2.9.0 (and older) OS: Windows Submission from: (NULL) (84.190.173.190) When using an older version of R, packages are not found although they are available for newer versions of R and do work when installed with the old version. For example, installing DoE.base on R 2.8.1 installs version 0.2, while CRAN is at version 0.4-1 currently. It would be nice if the

Dear R-developers, the following may seem a weird question for R-devel – I try anyway, because it does seem to be related to usage of R and R's way of interacting with the hardware. When running R (2.4.0) on my new dual core Windows XP system (Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, Mainboard ASUS P5B, BeQuiet Power Unit), I observe various types of sounds (not related to fans) when running at full

Dear R experts, I have defined a class "myclass" and would like the slots to be extractable not only by "@" but also by "$". I now try to write a method for "$" that simply executes the request object at slotname, whenever someone calls object$slotname for any object of class "myclass". I don't manage to find out how I can provide this

Dear DevelopeRs, I've been struggling with the new regulations regarding modifications to the search path, regarding my Rcmdr plugin package RcmdrPlugin.DoE. John Fox made Rcmdr comply with the new policy by removing the environment RcmdrEnv from the search path. For the time being, he developed an option that allows users to put the environment from Rcmdr (RcmdrEnv) on the search path,

Dear R-helpers, I am puzzled by the following observation: On my home dual core Windows desktop computer, I am used to running two R sessions in parallel. These do very well in using the full CPU of the computer (half each) and don't seem to slow each other down. Today I have started some large computation effort in one of our university labs, and I intended to go for two R sessions per

Dear all, I just tried to be fast for once, installed R 2.10 and also newly installed all previously-installed packages. However, now all my help files are text only, which is of course a pity with the new possibilities of links between help pages. What can I do to re-activate chm-help? chm-help does not work for anything, not even base functionality. My system is Windows XP, German locale

Dear expeRts, I am trying to wrap up a package "utilities" (for my internal use). After adding a function datNAtreat that uses mapply, R CMD check gives WARNINGs for "S3 generic/method consistency", "checking replacement functions" and?"checking foreign function calls", all of which are accompanied by the following error message: Error in .try_quietly

Uwe, I am talking binaries and Windows. I was not thinking of building binaries for old versions, but of looking in the new version repositories first, whether there is a binary that is said to be valid for the older version. Wouldn't it be possible to have the process look up a table of a newer R version for compatible binaries ? I got stuck with R 2-8.1 (which is not that old and should

Dear helpeRs, on my Windows 7 laptop, I have problems getting R CMD check to work. I believe it did work completely before, but I am not sure. Yesterday it almost worked, except for the tests: These were aborted because of a complaint that the temporary directory wasn't available. I played with windows environment variables for the temporary directory, but that didn't solve it.

Hi, I am wondering how I should interpreate the output of optFederov() in AlgDesign. Specially I want to know what is $D, $A, $Ge and $Dea, which one I can use as an efficiency to say how good the optimal design is. I only know when a orthogonal design comes, $D = 1. I red the pdf document -- vignette("AlgDesign") [Just type: vignette("AlgDesign") in R, you will get

Dear developeRs, I encounter the following problem: in the current version of my package FrF2, certain calls to a functioni do not work when package combinat is loaded, because function combn from combinat masks the function from utils that my package uses. I tried to solve this issue by importing function combn into the namespace of FrF2; I don't need to export it, I just want to use it

Dear all, I am working on a function formula.design that should automatically generate reasonable lm formulae for a number of different designs. All works well as long as all variables used are columns of the design data frame. For one function, I would like to incorporate a dummy variable for center points that is not a column of the design. Without this function, it would work like this (at

Dear developeRs, I appreciate that boxplot now labels the axes with variable names per default. However, with argument "horizontal=TRUE" (which I always use), the default axis labels are mixed up, as can e.g. be seen with require(boot) boxplot(time ~ poison, poisons, horizontal=TRUE) The correct labels would be obtained by boxplot(time ~ poison, poisons, horizontal=TRUE,

Dear all, I am stuck with tracking down an error I get from R CMD check (Windows, R 2.4.0, same error for R 2.2.1): when running R CMD check over a modified version of package relaimpo, I get the following output in install.out: preparing package relaimpo for lazy loading Loading required package: MASS Loading required package: boot Error in parse(file, n, text, prompt) : syntax error at 2193:

Dear r-helpers, Could you please help me solve the following problem: When I run require(AlgDesign) trt <- LETTERS[1:5] blk <- 10 trtblk <- 3 BIB <- optBlock(~., withinData = trt, blocksizes = rep(trtblk, blk)) In response to the last command, R complains: Error in optBlock(~., withinData = trt, blocksizes = rep(trtblk, blk)) : object ".Random.seed" not found The

Dear developeRs, with R 2.4.1 (and also 2.4.0), the function str() fails on objects of class relimplmbooteval, if there are unused slots, which is very often the case. I am not sure whether this is a bug in str() or a correct behavior of str() that unmasks some sloppiness in my usage of S4 classes (that I am not aware of)? Reproducible example (package relaimpo needed): The program

Dear R-helpers, I have a question regarding LU-decomposition with function lu in package Matrix. The following simple example confuses me: Why is as.matrix(elu$U) not an upper triangular matrix? u3 <- matrix(c(1,1,1,1,1,1,-1,1,0,0,0,0,0,-1,1,0,0,0,-1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,-1,1,0,0),5,6,byrow=T) elu <- expand(lu(Matrix(u3,sparse=F))) as.matrix(elu$U) I only have very limited experience with the
