similar to: advice on writing/maintaining an R package with a version control system

Dear list, I remember running into a thread on this topic in one of the R mailing lists before but I can't seem to find it now. Basically, I remember a discussion on how one can set up where R packages can be installed so that when we upgrade the R version on the machine, the packages are still accessible. One can back up this package location as well and bring it to a new computer. I

Dear R-Devel, I'm using Ubuntu on an x86_64 machine and would like to have both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of R built from source. By default, following the usual build procedures yields 64 bit R. Looking at [these](http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Sub_002darchitectures), I thought I could build 32-bit R by executing r_arch=32 ./configure and building R like usual

Dear R-help, I would like to compute the variance for the proportion of treatment effect by a surrogate in a survival model (Lin, Fleming, and De Gruttola 1997 in Statistics in Medicine). The paper mentioned that the covariance matrix matches that of the covariance matrix estimator for the marginal hazard modelling of multiple events data (Wei, Lin, and Weissfeld 1989 JASA), and is implemented

dear list, since matrix manipulations is often of interest in statistical computations, i'd like to get a working example of using Lapack for regression. However, i run into an error. My matrix-lapack-example.c file: #include <R_ext/Lapack.h> void reg(const char* trans, const int* m, const int* n, const int* nrhs, double* a, const int* lda, double* b, const int*

Hello, I see that "mclust" is a pacakge that handles fitting mixtures of normals. Are there any other packages out that that can handle mixtures of gammas or other exponentials? Additionally, are there any packages out there that can fit bimodal distributions without mixtures? i.e., Cobb et al. 1983 using moment recursion relations? Thank you! mw Marion Wittmann, Ph.D.

Dear list, I'm following the instructions provided here to compile R 64 bit on AIX 6.1. I did export OBJECT_MODE=64 export CC="gcc -maix64 -pthread" export CXX="g++ -maix64 -pthread" export FC="gfortran -maix64 -pthread" export F77="gfortran -maix64 -pthread" export CFLAGS="-O2 -g -mcpu=power6" export FFLAGS="-O2 -g -mcpu=power6"

One other note: I'm also using the latest src/main/dcf.c that was giving an issue on AIX previously; see [this](https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2015-September/071781.html) thread. Thanks.

Here's an update: I checked the ChangeLog for R, and it seems like readDCF was changed in 3.0.2. I went on a whim and copied src/main/dcf.c from R 2.15.3 over to 3.2.2, and R compiled fine and install.packages now work for me. This is probably not ideal, but it at least makes R usable on AIX for me. Would definitely like to help figure out what's wrong with the new dcf.c on AIX.

Hi, Note that one significant change to read.dcf() that happened since R 3.0.2 is the addition of support for arbitrary long lines (commit 63281), which never worked: dcf <- paste(c("aa: ", rep(letters, length.out=10000)), collapse="") writeLines(dcf, "test.dcf") nchar(read.dcf("test.dcf")) # aa # [1,] 8186 The culprit being line

Dear list (re-posting from r-help as r-devel is probably more appropriate), I was able to successfully compile R on our AIX box at work using the GNU compilers following the instructions on the R Administration guide. The output can be seen at here (https://gist.github.com/nguyenvinh/504321ea9c89d8919bef) and yields no errors . However, I get a segfault whenever I try to use the

Dear list, First, I am not writing to ask about embedding Computer Modern font in graphics produced by R. I am generating plots to be saved using pdf() and postscript() in R, and I make use of some math expressions that are provided by R, namely, some greek letters. My question is, do I need to embed the fonts that include these math symbols (say, if they are going out for publication, to have

Dear R community, I'm hoping someone out there has perhaps done this and can share their code and/or expertise with me. I need to pull recession periods out of a hydrograph - can anyone help me with this? I want to create a subset from streamflow data that consists of just the recession curves - the decreasing runoff after the passage of a peak flow. would really appreciate any help on

Dear R users, i am wondering if anyone has some hints for this problem (i have not found a clear answer after searching the R-mailing list archive, 'help.search' in R, and R-Wiki, and the like...): let's assume that i have 4 periods compositional time series data: t=1, A=0.1; B=0.5; C=0.4 t=2, A=0.2; B=0.4; C=0.4 t=3, A=0.5; B=0.3; C=0.2 t=4, A=0.4; B=0.3;

Dear list, With the new R 3.2.0 on the aforementioned platform, I get the following pop-up error when I enter "?update.packages" using R64: "The procedure entry point IdnToAscii could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll" That is, my command never gets executed. This does NOT happen with R32. I previously noticed this error starting with R 3.0.0 with the

Dear R-help, Let me know if I should email r-devel instead of this list. This message is addressed to Professor Lumley or anyone familiar with the survey package. Does svycoxph() implement the method outlined in Binder 1992 as referenced in the help file? That is, are weights incorporated in the ratio term (numerator and denominator) of the estimating equation? I don't believe so since
