I'm testing a FC5 machine for use in a student lab. R 2.3.1 is installed and seems to work fine. There is one peculiarity - the logins are authenticating to a server, and a "verbose" flag is set somewhere, leading to lots of spurious messages like this request done: ld 0xa227598 msgid 1 which may be confusing R. However, R CMD check seems to fail for packages with no

I use the ugly hack shown below as my .Rprofile (mainly because I couldn't find any other way to spawn a new mozilla window on starting R or calling help.start(), but then send all the help html documents to that new window). With a recent change from a cvs checkout to the released 1.9.0 I find that the new hs() appears if there is nothing of that name in .RData, but if there is the old hs()

Hello, What am I doing wrong about creating an index for my package documentation? Using 2.9.2, I am checking the gld package. It reports the following (all earlier lines OK): * checking PDF version of manual ... WARNING LaTeX errors when creating PDF version. This typically indicates Rd problems. * checking PDF version of manual without index ... ERROR When I look in the gld.Rcheck

I'm using R in a student lab with machines running win XP. $RHOME is not writable by the students. How do I set this up so that they can install packages?

Hello All, I'm trying to install rattle from source on a AMD64 machine running etch. I have two packages installed from the etch backport (r-cran-rodbc and r-cran-rsprng) but all the rest installed from source. I'm trying to install rattle, but install.packages("rattle", dependencies=TRUE) Tries to install rggobi, which complains about the version of libggobi. Does

Its possible to corrupt the binary if you actually open it in a browser, and the browser tries to display it, and then you save it. Have you tried right-clicking on the link to download it? Robert.

Thanks Piet & Johannes for the backports. There seems to be a problem with the files for the amd64 architecture getting out.

Hi All, I would like to work with symbols referenced by strings: I would like to manipulate data/symbols referencing to them by the string name of the symbol. An example will be clearer. Let's I get a time series through quantmod > getSymbols("GLD") This will create a new symbol GLD with the relevant data. I have tried to rename the column names as follows: >

Hello, I've been trying to install the fBasics package on an openSuSe 11.3 64bit machine.

Anyone know of a package for numerically estimating lambda(3) and lambda(4) using location, position, skew and kurtosis estimates. I have a distribution and would like to use the gld package to do some simulations of the distribution, but need the lambda estimates to feed into gld. I have a program in Maple, which I may convert to C code for use in R, but before moving down that road I

16396:055d98aa2dd0 almost works but not quite. LDFLAGS_DIRECT means we end up with: gld -melf_i386 -nostdlib -N -Ttext 0x100000 -o hvmloader.tmp hvmloader.o mp_tables.o util.o smbios.o 32bitbios_support.o acpi/acpi.a Specifying a linker script and asking for -nostdlib is obviously contradictory. Removing $(LDFLAGS_DIRECT) fixes the problem. regards john

Dear All, Is it possible to simulate an AR(1) process via a distribution? I have simulated an AR(1) process the usual way (that is, using a model specification and using the random deviates in the error), and used the generated time series to estimate 3- and 4-parameter distributions (for instance, GLD). However, the random deviates generated from these distributions do not follow the

I'm having trouble returning a rolling n period highest value for a data set. For each day I want to calculate the highest value over the last 3 days. I am using the following packages: zoo, xts, quantmod and TTR.

I want to get data for a set of ticker symbols and compute the daily return of the adjusted close using quantmod, and then scatterplot returns using pairs(). The following gets data for the list of tickers: tickers <- c("SHY","TLT","SPY","IWM","GLD","IEV","ILF","EWJ","EPP","SAF","ASA")

Hi, I'm currently working on porting some SAS scripts to R, and hence need to do the same calculation (and get the same results) as SAS in order to make the transition easier for users of the script. In the script, I'm dealing with a two-factorial repeated-measures anova. I'll try to give you a short overview of the setup: - two between-cell factors: facBetweenROI (numbering

Dear all, It is my pleasure to announce the immediate availability of R 2.8.0 for the current Debian stable release on CRAN. Source packages and binaries for i386 and amd64 are at your disposal. I also updated the README to include a short howto for using R 2.8.0 from unstable on testing (lenny), which is currently frozen. This currently pulls the current pcre from unstable, next to the current
