portable parallel seeds project: request for critiques
I've got another edition of my simulation replication framework. I'm attaching 2 R files and pasting in the readme. I would especially like to know if I'm doing anything that breaks .Random.seed or other things that R's parallel uses in the environment. In case you don't want to wrestle with attachments, the same files are online in our SVN

portableParalleSeeds Package violation, CRAN exception?
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

"A critique of R and S-PLUS"
Dear all, The other day I stumbled on this article, "A critique of R and S-PLUS" [1], and got curious on whether the points outlined are (still) valid. The article is quite old, dating 2004, but was updated several times. Regards, Liviu [1] http://fluff.info/blog/arch/00000041.htm -- Do you know how to read? http://www.alienetworks.com/srtest.cfm Do you know how to write?

Project Critique
I have just started laying out the plans for my first project using Asterisk. I am very interested at this stage in getting much needed feedback, critiquing my approach. What are the ups and downs going to be if I develop this project as follows: -The client wants to connect some phone reps in India through a VoIP to their clients. -There will be 3 phone lines, and 1 broadband internet

module critique request
Hello. I recently tried to improve a module I have which is used to create one or more instances of mysql per node. The original module had lot''s of code repetition to get around gaps in my skills. The new improved module has less code repetition but doesn''t seem as clean as I imagined it in my head:) The env is puppet 2.6.4, facter 1.5.8, solaris 10 x86 and nodes.pp

Please explain "do.call" in this context, or critique to "stack this list faster"
I've been doing some consulting with students who seem to come to R from SAS. They are usually pre-occupied with do loops and it is tough to persuade them to trust R lists rather than keeping 100s of named matrices floating around. Often it happens that there is a list with lots of matrices or data frames in it and we need to "stack those together". I thought it would be a simple

Module critique
I''ve gotten an install of solr working, but it''s pretty much a hack job at the moment. If y''all could give me your thoughts on how to improve my setup, I''d appreciate it. apache-tomcat is an rpm of Tomcat 7 that references the oracle jdk instead of openjdk. Thanks. class solr { service { ''iptables'' : ensure =>

Effect of data set size on calculation
Dear listers, I have a piece of code which performs an ANOVA type of analysis on 2D GC data. The code is shown below: # ANOVA 2D GC analysis # maxc <- number of samples # nreps <- number of samples maxc <- 2 nreps <- 4 sscl <- NULL cmean <- NULL # # Initial stat. variable # dftot <- nrow(mat)-1 dfcl <- maxc - 1 dferr <- dftot - dfcl totmean

nnet and weights: error analysis using V&R example
Dear R-users, dear Prof. Ripley as package maintainer I tried to investigate the odd error, when I call nnet together with a 'weights' parameter, using the 'fgl' example in V&R p 348 The error I get is: Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : Object "w" not found I think it is a kind of scoping problem, but I really cannot see, what the problem exactly is. and

nnet with weights parameter: odd error
Dear R-users I use nnet for a classification (2 classes) problem. I use the code CVnn1, CVnn2 as described in V&R. The thing I changed to the code is: I define the (class) weight for each observation in each cv 'bag' and give the vector of weights as parameter of nnet(..weights = weight.vector...) Unfortunately I get an error during some (but not all!) inner-fold cv runs:

Nnet and AIC: selection of a parsimonious parameterisation
Hi All, I am trying to use a neural network for my work, but I am not sure about my approach to select a parsimonious model. In R with nnet, the IAC has not been defined for a feed-forward neural network with a single hidden layer. Is this because it does not make sens mathematically in this case? For example, is this pseudo code sensible? Thanks in advance for your help. I am sorry if this

classification with nnet: handling unequal class sizes
I hope this question is adequate for this list I use the nnet code from V&R p. 348: The very nice and general function CVnn2() to choose the number of hidden units and the amount of weight decay by an inner cross-validation- with a slight modification to use it for classification (see below). My data has 2 classes with unequal size: 45 observations for classI and 116 obs. for classII With

Dumping 12,000+ records into seeds.rb?
I have a legacy e-commerce app that''s got about 12,000 inventory items in it, including pairings between items in one model to items in another. There''s no way we''ll have the manpower to manually add all those items and their pairings again ("ah cannah dew ih, cap''n!"), so I''m hoping to write a series of either Ruby or raw SQL scripts to move

You cannot disable instructions even if you hide CPUID bits, so KVM just extends this to MSRs (both
