similar to: Using missing() in a S4 method with extra arguments

Dear list members, I have defined a binary operator %append% with methods for some S4 classes. In my documentation file, I want to list the methods explicitly by using e.g.: \S4method{\%append\%}{RecLinkData,RecLinkData}(x, y) In the HTML documentation this comes out right as ## S4 method for signature 'RecLinkResult,RecLinkResult' x %append% y , but R CMD check

Hi all, I just stumbled across the difference between explicit and 'automatic' row names for data frames. Is there a quick way to find out if a data frame has automatic row names or not? Of course I know this for data frames that I create myself, but what if a function needs to extract this information for an argument? The following example shows that this property is not easily

Hi all, I am posting this again because I got no reply on r-help. Maybe the devel-list is the right place for this kind of question. I've run into the following problem with Sweave: I frequently run Sweave from a xterm console within an X session owned by a different user, i.e. my colleague is logged in on this computer and I do "su" with my username and start R and Sweave

Dear R-devel members, I would like to compile a package with two seperate shared libraries. For example, in a package 'foo', a file 'bar.so' built from a distinct set of source files should be installed in addition to the default 'foo.so' (or .dll on windows). Does anyone know about a way to achieve this without having a custom Makefile, e.g. via 'Makevars'?

Hi all, I use txtProgressBar to monitor progress of large computations. What I miss is the ability to redirect the progress bar to a stream other than stdout, specifically to the message stream. This would be useful for running Sweave scripts: When redirected to stderr, the bar could be visible even though console output is diverted to the output file (and there would be no cluttering of the

Hello to everybody I have vector of drug dosage in string format 1.5 mg , 50 mg , 100 mg , 0.5 mg ... The task is to remove last free symbols: ' mg' Any suggestions are highly appreciated

Running linux 10.04 ubuntu. Looks like Ubuntu automatically updated to version 2.13. I was running version 2.12 until today. But now I'm getting error messages when I use the require or library command and one of the packages I've downloaded in the past. For example: > require(quantmod) Loading required package: quantmod Warning message: In library(package, lib.loc = lib.loc,

Dear users, I have looked on different sources and found different functions to prompt the user to provide input. However, I couldn't find one that does exactly what I'm looking for. select.list() and menu() are nice because a graphic window appears to prompt the user. However, the user can only choose from a predefined list of choices. readline() and scan() are more free in the

I was on vacation the last week and wrote some code to run a 500-day correlation between the Nasdaq tracking stock (QQQ) and 191 currency pairs for 500 days. The initial run took 9 hours(!) and I'd like to make it faster. So, I'm including my code below, in hopes that somebody will be able to figure out how to make it faster, either through parallelisation, or by making changes. I've

Dear all, i have a dataset of about 400 records , with a variable that has  two levels 40 bad and 360 good among other variables,how do i come up  with10 random samples that have the composition of as the main sample  but maintaining the 40 bad 360 good with replacement, i recently discovered that my random samples generated dont maintain the ratio. My code is as  : mysample <-

Dear r helpers, At first, I apologize for raising a query which seems to be a stupid interpretation on my part. I am trying to learn SQLite. Following is an example given in the RSQLite.zip file (Page # 4) drv <- dbDriver("SQLite") tfile <- tempfile() con <- dbConnect(drv, dbname = tfile) data(USArrests) dbWriteTable(con, "arrests", USArrests) On the similar

Hello ALL! I am an Linux user (Debian testing i386), with very dusty Win-experience. Nevertheless, my colleagues and I are making some package in R, and I built C-routines to speed up things. I followed instruction how to compile C for R (very useful link: http://www.stat.lsa.umich.edu/~yizwang/software/maxLinear/noteonR.html, and links listed there). Everything works like a charm in Linux. I

Apologies for asking something that is probably super obvious, i just started with S4 classes and i guess i am not finding documentation that layout the grammar rules and give enough examples. Some questions i am having are these 1. I understand that main method of writing a member function is to write a generic function and setMethod for this particular object. This, however, presumes that there

Dear all, I am trying to learn lapply. I would like, as a test case, to try the lapply alternative for the Shadowlist<-array(data=NA,dim=c(dimx,dimy,dimmaps)) for (i in c(1:dimx)){ Shadowlist[,,i]<-i } ---so I wrote the following--- returni <-function(i,ShadowMatrix) {ShadowMatrix<-i} lapply(seq(1:dimx),Shadowlist[,,seq(1:dimx)],returni) So far I do not get same results

This might have been discussed before, but below is a "not-so-unlikely" use case where the user follows normal procedures, updates R to a major release version, and then R crashes: 1. Use runs R stable (e.g. v2.13.0). 2. User installs a package with a namespace, e.g. install.packages("fortunes"). 3. User uses the package and one of the package's objects are assigned to the

Dear all, I am searching for a possibility to view large data sets (e.g. stored in ffdf objects) in a GUI window in a memory-efficient way. So far I looked at gtkDfEdit (package RGtk2Extras) and gdf (package gWidgets). Both operate (as far as I can see) on data frames stored in memory. gtkDfEdit accepts an ff data frame as input, but there is a long delay before it shows up, so I presume the

Hi all, I've run into the following problem with Sweave: I frequently run Sweave from a xterm console within an X session owned by a different user, i.e. my colleague is logged in on this computer and I do "su" with my username and start R and Sweave afterwards. Now, when Sweave comes to a figure chunk, it sees that there is an X server running and tries to show whatever I plot

Hello all, I posted the following bug last week: # These calls work correctly: match(c("A", "B", "C"), c("A","C"), incomparables=NA) # okay match(c("A", "B", "C"), "A") # okay match("A", c("A", "B"), incomparables=NA) # okay # This one causes R to hang: match(c("A",

Hi all, I stumbled across the following, in my opinion surprising, behaviour of read.table: > data <- read.table(stdin(), sep=",") 0: 1, 2, 3 # Some comment 1: > sapply(data, class) V1 V2 V3 "integer" "integer" "numeric" I was surprised to find that V3 has class "numeric" despite its apparent integer value.
