Hi, n = 10000000 L = list(a=integer(n), b=integer(n)) L[[2]][1:10] gives me the first 10 items of the 2nd vector in the list L. It works fine. However it appears to copy the entire L[[2]] vector in memory first, before subsetting it. It seems reasonable that "[[" can't know that all that is to be done is to do [1:10] on the result and therefore a copy in memory of the entire

Forwarded to R-Help, because I think it could interest people following this thread. Clearly, RServe and svSocket have different goals and very little overlap.

Hi, Please see below for post on r-help regarding data.frame() and the possibility of dropping rownames, for space and time reasons. I've made some changes, attached, and it seems to be working well. I see the expected space (90% saved) and time (10 times faster) savings. There are no doubt some bugs, and needs more work and testing, but I thought I would post first at this stage. Could some

Hi, The following function works, but is there a neater way to write it? f = function(x,...) { # return a character vector of the arguments passed in after 'x' gsub(" ","",unlist(strsplit(deparse(substitute(list(...))),"[(,)]")))[-1] } > f(x,a,b,c*d) [1] "a" "b" "c*d" > Thanks. [[alternative HTML

Kurt, Uwe suggested I write to you as maintainer of chron ... at the start of is.weekend, in the check on the argument type, maybe just change chron() to as.chron()? This would ensure as.chron.POSIXt gets called on POSIXt arguments, and (I think) fixes the problem. I tested and it seems ok. No warning/error required. > is.weekend function(x) { if(!inherits(x, "dates"))

Hi, In the example below why is d 10 times bigger than m, according to object.size ? It also takes around 10 times as long to create, which fits with object.size() being truthful. gcinfo(TRUE) also indicates a great deal more garbage collector activity caused by data.frame() than matrix(). $ R --vanilla .... > nr = 1000000 > system.time(m<<-matrix(integer(1), nrow=nr, ncol=2)) [1]

Is it intended that the first suffix can no longer be blank? Seems to be caused by a bug fix to merge in R 2.15.0. $Rdevel --vanilla DF1 = data.frame(a=1:3,b=4:6) DF2 = data.frame(a=1:3,b=7:9) merge(DF1,DF2,by="a",suffixes=c("",".1")) Error in merge.data.frame(DF1, DF2, by = "a", suffixes = c("", ".1")) : there is already a column

Dear R-devel, REvolution appear to be offering ParallelR only when bundled with their R Enterprise edition. As such it appears to be non-free and closed source. http://www.revolution-computing.com/products/parallel-r.php Since R is GPL and not LGPL, is this a breach of the GPL ? Below is the "GPL and ParallelR" thread from their R forum. mdowle > It appears that ParallelR

Under the "further resources" section I'd like to suggest the following addition : * http://crantastic.org/ lists popular packages according to other users votes. Consider briefly reviewing the top 30 packages before posting to r-help since someone may have already released a package that solves your problem. Thats just a straw man idea so I hope there will be answer, or

Hello, I am trying to write an R package for doing analysis of speaker recognition systems. The big thing in this line of research is a DET-plot (detection Error Trade-off, a ROC plot with qnorm() warped axes). My approach has been to make a class "det" and also a function "det()" that will prepare the data into the right class. Now loading the library doesn't like me

Looking at shash in unique.c, from R-2.10.1 I'm wondering if it makes sense to hash the pointer itself rather than the string it points to? In other words could the SEXP pointer be cast to unsigned int and the usual scatter be called on that as if it were integer? shash would look like a slightly modified version of ihash like this : static int shash(SEXP x, int indx, HashData *d) {

Hi, Is there a function taking a function as an argument, which returns all the functions it calls, and all the the functions those functions call, and so on? I could use Rprof, but that would involve executing the function, which may miss some branches of code. I'd really like a function which looks at the source code to work out all the functions that could possibly be called. When I

Dear all, I'm experiencing an unusual installation error for one package. Could anyone suggest how I can best investigate this from here please? I'm sorry this isn't very much to go on. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. The problem seems to be my library. It is large (3,418 packages) and I'd like to avoid rebuilding it, if possible. All packages are up to

Hi, Have I missed something, or misunderstood? The r-help posting guide asks users to contact the package maintainer : "If the question relates to a contributed package, e.g., one downloaded from CRAN, try contacting the package maintainer first.
