As I've mentioned a number of times. I find it very useful to have lowess() become a generic function so that a lowess.formula() can be defined. Below is a patch that makes both changes, as well as updating the corresponding help documentation. Gregory R.

Given the confusions that some users have regarding package bundles, I'd like to suggest some changes to how package bundles are handled. My understanding is that a package bundle is essentially a convenient way to distribute related packages, so that users can download/install them in one shot. However, some users apparently get confused that one can do install.packages("abundle")

Hi, I have written boxplot commands of this form before, but I don''t quite understand why the function call is reporting a syntax error in this instance. All parameters passed to the function are strings. Thanks in advance. Payam > simplevar <- function(wframe,column1,column2) { + tframe <- get(wframe) + x1 <- which(names(wframe)==column1) + x2 <-

Hi there, I cant seem to find a way for the lowess smoothing function to handle "NA" values. Can anyone help?? Regards, Wayne Dr Wayne R.

I have an object with an attribute "tframe" for which there is a generic method print.tframe and also a method print.tframe.default defined in a library. However, when I use attributes(object) I get the message $tframe Error: couldn't find function "print.tframe" It's as if <primitive: attributes> is not looking through the search list? Any suggestions?

While commenting out the previously mentioned warning seems to work, I have been reflecting on this problem and there seems to be an issue wrt inheritance that I do not understand properly. Perhaps some gurus could comment. As mentioned previously, I have a class "tframe" with more specific classes indicating how time is being represented, such as > class(tframe(data)) [1]

"[<-" in R 0.63 does not appear to strip attributes, whereas Splus and previous versions of R did. Paul _____ R 0.63: > data <- matrix(rnorm(300),100,3) > attr(data, "tframe") <- c(1981.50, 2006.25 , 4.00) > attributes(data) $dim [1] 100 3 $tframe [1] 1981.50 2006.25 4.00 > z <- data[10:90,] > attributes(z) $dim [1] 81 3 $tframe [1]

I don't really see the point. lowess() is a two-dimensional smoother only so the main point would only be to allow lowess(y ~ x, dat) instead of lowess(dat$x, dat$y).

Below are a few problems I have encountered with the new checks being done in R-devel. 1/ I have two generics, test.equal and test.equal.tframe. The first checks that two objects are equal while the second checks if two objects have equal tframes (time frames). There is no reason these should have similar arguments but the check seems to think that test.equal.tframe is a method for test.equal so

I have a class "tframe" with more specific classes indicating how time is being represented, such as > class(tframe(data)) [1] "ts" "tframe" but now "[.ts" produces warning messages > tframe(data)[2] Warning: Not returning a time series object [1] 2006.25 Even my simplest tests produce hundreds of lines of warnings, so I've commented out

Hi All, I've been providing a generic version of lowess() in my 'gregmisc' library, along with a 'lowess.formula' and 'lowess.default'. Can/should these be moved into base? -Greg LEGAL NOTICE Unless expressly stated otherwise, this message is confidential and may be privileged. It is intended for the addressee(s) only.

I am having problems with the package dse. I just installed R 2.2.1 and reinstalled all packages. I am running Windows XP Pro with all updates. Below there are two examples of error messages generated when trying to execute some simple programs. The code was taken directly from the package documentation. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated. Merry Christmas Fernando
