similar to: tempdir() documentation or real bug ?

The main point of this discussion has been that deleting the tempdir() a fixed number of days after its creation is a problem. It should be deleted when the process that created it is done. R attempts to do this, but there are cases in which it does not so a backup is needed. Bill Dunlap TIBCO Software wdunlap tibco.com On Wed, Apr 26, 2017 at 8:46 AM, Brian G. Peterson <brian at

I'm having a very hard time making R CMD check produce a clean check on examples because of the timings inserted into examples by R CMD check. I am getting a difference on every example output caused by timing information being inserted by 'R CMD check'. The current 'Writing R Extensions' manual[1] states on p. 14: If directory tests has a subdirectory Examples

Hi all! I read R Extensions manual. But still I am not sure how to call R functions from C. Would any of you give me a sample C code to show how to call R functions - for instance, time series functions - from C in the embedded way of C code? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I was recently testing R and RStudio on a high dpi 4K monitor under Windows and noticed that the plot window cannot be scaled or zoomed without affecting the relative sizing of all plot elements (line widths, font sizes, legend spacing etc). RStudio seems to try to overcome this by enabling dpi scaling for the plot window on high dpi screens, but this results in really fuzzy text and graphics

Dear Colleagues/Developers/R enthusiasts, Would it be possible to develop a code of conduct (CoC) document for R lists, CRAN submissions that all developers/maintainers to follow? This may help all of us to better communicate and move forward together. There is a similar effort from Python community, here are the links: * https://mail.python.org/pipermail/scipy-dev/2017-August/022044.html *

I downloaded the iid.test, but I can't run it. I get the following message: Error: could not find function "iid.test" Where am I supposed to save this package in order that it works? Thanks, EZ [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Renjin is not R.?? Renjin is an R language interpreter written in Java. It has become exceedingly obvious that you are making user errors.??That's not a bug in the language. If you want to use Renjin, there are mailing lists devoted to Renjin, and also Stack Overflow and Renjin list questions that cover exactly what you've asked about (loading packages in Renjin when Renjin is used as a

Hello, I've been searching for a method for identify outliers for quite some time now. The complication is that I cannot assume that my data is normally distributed nor symmetrical (i.e. some distributions might have one longer tail) so I have not been able to find any good tests. The Walsh's Test (http://www.statistics4u.info/ fundsta...liertest.html#), as I understand assumes that the

Hello R-Help I have a question about the "behind the scenes" behaviour of the Rscript -e command and particularly its interaction with Sweave and tempdir(). We are trying to deploy R as a web service to do water quality analyses and have been writing software to call Sweave via Rscript eg: cmd> Rscript -e Sweave('sweavefile.Rnw') One problem we have been having is that

I was looking at the CRAN package 'bfork-0.1.2', which exposes the Unix fork() and waitpid() calls at the R code level, and noticed that the help file example for bfork::fork removes R's temporary directory, the value of tempdir(). I think it happens because the forked process shares the value of tempdir() with the parent process and removes it when it exits. This seems like a

Hi all, Please recommend good books for the following three categories. (I am aim at finance, macroeconomics, trading and business applications). (1) statistical (financial) data analysis; (2) time series; (3) econometrics. More specifically, I am looking for the following two types of books: (1) Books that provide big pictures and intuitions and books that connect dots... For example, there

I think recreating tempdir() is ok in an emergency situation, but package code should not be removing tempdir() - it may contain important information.
