In R 2.1.1, the default behaviour of scan() was changed to process all C-style escapes, even when a delimiter was specified using the 'sep' argument. A new argument 'allowEscapes' was introduced to turn this processing off. Because read.table() calls scan(), read.table() inherits the new default behaviour of scan() but without a way to turn it off. For example, reading a file

I've noticed a change in behavior in R 2.12.0 from 2.11.1 regarding the treatment of absolute paths in the file argument of Sweave in a Windows environment. Consider the minimal Rnw file, attached and reproduced below my signature in case .Rnw files get stripped. This file is stored on my (Windows) computer in H:/My Documents. Using an absolute path with the standard window's

The R Journal home page doesn't make any promises about how frequently the journal will be published. Historically, though, there have been issues in June and December of each year. The June issue has always appeared by this time (6 August) in previous years. Has there been a change in the publication schedule? Are there still plans for a June 2016 issue? Thanks Gordon

Dear all, I'm writing to ask for advice as to best practice. A PhD student working with me is writing C++ code that we hope to make public as src code in our Bioconductor package edgeR. He wants to call the function fmm_spline, which is part of the source code for the stats package http://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/src/library/stats/src/splines.c, from his C++ code. This function

Hi Peter and others, If it helps, I wrote a small function glm.scoretest() for the statmod package on CRAN to compute score tests from glm fits. The score test for adding a covariate, or any set of covariates, can be extracted very neatly from the standard glm output, although you probably already know that.

Hi, when we add \examples{ a <- 1:4 a %*% a } into a Rd-file are run R CMD check, the resulting R code is a <- 1:4 a So, %*% ... is lost on the way if I'm not totally confused.

This is just a suggestion/wish that it would be nice for the F-distribution functions to recognize limiting cases for infinite degrees of freedom, as the t-distribution functions already do. The t-distribution functions recognize that df=Inf is equivalent to the standard normal distribution: > pt(1,df=Inf) [1] 0.8413447 > pnorm(1) [1] 0.8413447 On the other hand, pf() will accept Inf

I am building R packages using R 1.7.0pat under Windows 2000 Professional. All works fine except that I haven't been able to figure out how to use the --docs=TYPE option. I would like to optionally turn off building chm help. I have tried build commands like rcmd build --binary --docs=TYPE mypackagename In place of "TYPE" I have tried things like "html",

Martin Maechler has suggested that I post this comment to r-devel. It was originally posted to bioconductor. --------------------------------- I'd like to raise the issue of a capitalization convention for naming objects in R. Almost everything in R used to be lowercase but recently there is increasing use of mixed upper/lower case to define names. There is potential for using the

Should R CMD check consider it an error to define a new method using setMethod for a class which is not currently defined? It seems to me that it would be best not to consider this an error. What currently happens in that setMethod issues a warning, quite correctly. This warning produces an object 'last.warning'. Then R CMD check issues a WARNING that 'last.warning' is an

Dear all, I am trying to write a package using formal methods and classes from the methods package. I have not been able to get the package to pass rcmd check without warnings, because rcmd check does not recognize my generic functions as code objects and therefore queries why they have documentation entries. I have isolated the problem in a very small trivial example which I give below. I

What are some effective ways to leverage the strengths of R and Mathematica for the analysis of a single data set? More specifically, are there any functions that can assist with any of the following? 1. Calling an R function from Mathematica. 2. Calling a Mathematica function from R. 3. Using XML or another reliable data format to pass vectors, matrices, and/or lists from one environment to

I am another person who has had trouble documenting S4 classes and (particularly) methods. The methods package itself is pretty cool by the way, but it is a pity that there are as yet no guidelines on S4 in the "Writing R Extensions" document. I have actually put together a guide on S4 documentation myself for the use of my own lab which is at

Hello R is pretty new to me. I need to write a function that returns three matrices of different dimensions. In addition, I need to call a function from a contributed package with the function. I have browsed several manuals and docs but the examples on them are either very simple or extremely hard to follow. Many thanks Ed [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
