Hi All, It seems that the question of how may people use (or download) R, and it's packages is one that comes up on a fairly regular basis in a variety of forums (There was also recent thread on the subject on Stack Overflow). A couple of students at UCLA (including myself), wanted to address the issue, so we set up a system to get and parse the cran.stat.ucla.edu APACHE logs every night, and

Hi, I got the following comment from the reviewer of a paper (describing an algorithm implemented in R) that I submitted to BMC Bioinformatics: "Finally, which useful for exploratory work and some prototyping, neither R nor S-Plus are appropriate environments for deploying user applications that would receive much use." I can certainly respond by pointing out that CRAN contains

I'm a little confused when documenting my code using Imports vs. Depends. If I have an example in my .Rd that uses a library that is listed under Imports, it doesn't work, but if it is listed under Depends, it does. What is the proper way to go about using examples that rely on an Imports? Should I just if(require(somepackage)) in the example? Or is there a more elegant way of doing

Dear R developers, Taking advantage of the yesterday discussion about the use of Depends/Import/Suggests/Enhances, I would like to add a related question. Let's assume, in the DESCRIPTION file of my package foo0, I have: Depends: foo1 Imports: foo2 while in the NAMESPACE file of my package I have importFrom("foo2", f2) and within my package I use the following two external

Hi all, I am building R 2.12.0 patched this morning from source on Snow Leopard (10.6.4). In fact, three times now, with separate clean source and build directories each time, just to be sure that the issue is predictable. I would be happy to have somebody tell me that I am missing something fundamental here also... After running make check-all, I get the following error for 'nlme': *

Hi the list In the DESCRIPTION file of my package foo0, I have: Depends: foo1 Imports: foo2 Suggest: foo3 Enhence: foo4 If I understand correctly, to install foo0 on my computer, I need to already have foo1, foo2, foo3. foo4 is not necessary. I my R sesssion, when I will write: library(foo0), then the package foo1 will be attach. foo2, foo3 and foo4 will not. Is that correct? But what is

[Env: Win XP Pro / R 2.11.1] I keep occasionally running into the annoying problem of getting warnings from R CMD check regarding non ASCII characters in .Rd files, without any easy way of finding them. Mostly these come from copy/paste of references or other material from web pages or Win applications, and often involve varieties of quote-like characters, e.g., if I try to include output

I apologize in advance for probably missing something obvious, but if someone could point me in the right direction I'd be grateful. This NOTE is not unique to our package (I list a few others, below). Package bcp has several Suggests (strucchange, for example). Then in an Rd file, we have if (require(strucchange)) { # Doing some examples making use of strucchange } The CRAN check

I have a confusing error from R CMD check that I don't get when running the example manually by hand. In the \examples section of an Rd file, I create a GRanges object, then I call a function with the GRanges object, whose first 2 lines are require(GenomicRanges) annoDF <- as.data.frame(anno) # anno is the GRanges object. and that second line gives: Error in

Hi Colton, You could divide your write task into chunks that do not violate the 2^31-1 limit. write.table has an append argument (default FALSE). Figure out a row chunk size nri < nr such that nri * nc is under 2^31-1 and use write.table() to write that out. Then use write.table( append = TRUE, ) for the next chunk of rows, looping over chunks until done. Two chunks will get your 2.8

In checking my vcdExtra package, the following NOTE newly appeared (R-Forge, using R version 3.0.1 Patched (2013-08-20 r63635)) Package in Depends field not imported from: ?gnm?

I rebuilt a test version of my yaImpute package using Uwe Ligges' windows build service.

Hi, This is a collection of notes that I took while setting up an AD-DC. I do not want to edit the Wiki pages myself, without first asking experts whether my assumptions are correct.

Full_Name: Michael Aaron Karsh Version: 2.8.0 OS: Windows XP Submission from: (NULL) (75.61.102.255) Whenever I try changing a function, it keeps coming up with the same error message. I have the function CN_state_log_sum=function(Tot_log_sum){ #estimate copy number state for the log sum approach if(((Im(Tot_log_sum))!=0)|Re(Tot_log_sum)<=log(1/4)/log(2)) {return(0)}

Hi all, I believe this is a bug in the model.matrix function. I'd like a second opinion before filing a bug report. If I have a nested covariate B with multiple values for just one level of A, I can not get a non-singular design matrix out of model.matrix > df <- data.frame(A = factor(c("a", "a", "x", "x"), levels = c("x",

Dear all, I am working in the development of a package with more or less 25 functions. Most of them do not have dependencies on other extra packages. However, I am including three GUIs for the most important functions of the package. These three GUIs need the gWidgets package. Moreover, there is another function which makes use of latticeExtra and latticedl. Since these three packages are not

Dear R developers, I would like to add a new S3 generic to override a function in a user package, specifically: STAR::as.repeatedTrain I have followed the recommendation here: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.html#Adding-new-generics doing this: as.repeatedTrain<-function(x,...){ UseMethod("as.repeatedTrain") } as.repeatedTrain.default<-function(x,...) {

I just tried ?Constants at the console and was disappointed that the so-named base help page would not come up. > ?Constants No documentation for 'Constants' in specified packages and libraries: you could try '??Constants' Seems like there should have been a match.
