I'm writing to ask for a policy exception, or advice on how to make this package CRAN allowable. http://rweb.quant.ku.edu/kran/src/contrib/portableParallelSeeds_0.9.tar.gz Yesterday I tried to submit a package on CRAN and Dr Ripley pointed out that I had not understood the instructions about packages. Here's the part where the R check gives a Note * checking R code for possible

Speaking of optimization and speeding up R calculations... I mentioned last week I want to speed up calculation of generalized inverses. On Debian Wheezy with R-2.15.2, I see a huge speedup using a souped up generalized inverse algorithm published by V. N. Katsikis, D. Pappas, Fast computing of theMoore-Penrose inverse matrix, Electronic Journal of Linear Algebra, 17(2008), 637-650. I was so

Greetings, R developers Here are my requests today. 1. Would you care to review this vignette http://pj.freefaculty.org/R/Rchaeology.pdf and tell me if you think it is wrong headed, and 2. Supposing you do not think I'm completely wrong, would you care to point me at more examples of R idioms that lead to deep insights into the nature of R programming? Longer more boring explanation: In

Greetings. I'm trying to understand a problem on a Dell Laptop. Details below, also uploaded the R working example that I pasted below. http://pj.freefaculty.org/scraps/testSymbols.R > sessionInfo() R version 2.15.1 (2012-06-22) Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) locale: [1] LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=C [3] LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8 [5]

I'm attaching a file foo.Rnw and I'm hoping some of you might run it through your R & latex systems to find out if the double-quotes in typewriter font turn out as black boxes (as they do for me). If you don't use Sweave, but you have a system with a working version of R and LaTeX, the file gives the instructions you need to use to process the file. The The file itself explains

Here's my little discussion example for a quadratic regression: http://pj.freefaculty.org/R/WorkingExamples/regression-quadratic-1.R Students press me to know the benefits of poly() over the more obvious regression formulas. I think I understand the theory on why poly() should be more numerically stable, but I'm having trouble writing down an example that proves the benefit of this. I

Hello R-sig-debian and (hopefully) Dirk: On Debian wheezy, I have the R packaging that CRAN (you) provide. I run into a little trouble while trying to fiddle with alternative BLAS. I know you and I went around on this last year and I think perhaps I've found something wrong in the framework, or I've just done something wrong. I installed the packages openblas-base and openblas-dev, and

Hello, everybody. I recognize I'm asking you to deal with a not-very-important problem. But its important to me :) I've noticed a little inconsistency in the print.function() output. I traced the matter to deparse.c, for which I attach a patch that addresses 3 separate things. There's one important thing that I'm willing to stand behind and 2 litter things that I think would be

Hello lsit, I''am new to rails (about 2 hours) and after the first lines of code I must say: Great! I love it! Can someone recommend me a editor? I run Ubuntu Dapper.

I'm making some illustrations and it would be convenient to automatically shade the overlapping portions of circles. These illustrations are for Social Choice theory, a field in political science and economics. I've wrestled together some examples so you can see what I mean, but have not mastered the "color overlapping sections" problem (as you will see):

I notice compositions was removed on CRAN, that's one I want to try out. I downloaded the last tarball, the build output doesn't look that bad. A warning, no errors. $ R CMD build compositions * checking for file ?compositions/DESCRIPTION? ... OK * preparing ?compositions?: * checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... OK * cleaning src * checking for LF line-endings in source and make

I have been making simple functions to display regressions in a new package called "rockchalk". For 3d illustrations, my functions use persp, and I've grown to like working with it. As an example of the kind of things I like to do, you might consult my lecture on multicollinearity, which is by far the most detailed illustration I've prepared.

Greetings R-help! In case anybody has worked on an old Redhat system lately, can you remember what is the cause of this problem? I don't think this is a fatal problem, because I can get around it by uninstalling all of the R RPM packages and re-running the build. But if R is installed, the build fails while byte-compiling as seen below. A *guessed* removing the installed R stuff might make

Good morning: I submitted a package update to CRAN and got a bounce because I had not run R CMD check with "--as-cran". I'd not heard of that before, but I'm glad to know about it now. I see it warns when my functions do use partial argument matching, and I like that advice very much. Also I see this warning * checking package subdirectories ... WARNING Found the following

I'm aware R-devel no longer includes zlib. This works find on up-to-date Linux systems. On the older Centos 6 cluster at KU, they have zlib tool old for R-devel. The R-devel configure fails thus: checking if zlib version >= 1.2.5... no checking whether zlib support suffices... configure: error: zlib library and headers are required In other software, I've seen this kind of thing, so

I want up-to-dateish versions of TexLive, R, gnumeric, emacs, but on a more-or-less stable base of Centos-5.2. I asked for packages in this, but got no answers. So now I've built them and will let you try them if you want. I used the source packages from Fedora 8 and 9. I wanted TexLive because many of us have jumped ship to Ubuntu Linux 8.04 and it does offer TexLive, and the compatability

I want to write an R help example that throws up 2 graphs in separate windows, for comparison. In Linux I plot one, then run x11() to spawn a new on-screen device. Is there some generic equivalent so I can write an example that will work for Windows and Mac users as well? If there is none, don't you think it would be fun if there were? pj -- Paul E. Johnson Professor, Political Science

I'm writing to ask if R Core would make file.exists more Windows tolerant when the argument has a trailing slash. This has been discussed by users a few times here, I know it is not a new topic. But it is not a solved problem, yet. I acknowledge that CRAN packages exist which fix this by replacing file.exists(), but it seems more elegant to me to fix the problem in R itself. R Core goes to
