Hello, All: I have for years copied an address like "C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.0\library\MASS\scripts" from Windows Explorer into R, then manually replaced "\" with "/". I have a function to automate this added to the development version of "sos". However, it generates a warning in "R CMD check" ("parse error: unexpected

Hello, All: The "writeFindFn2xls" function in the "sos" package tries to write an Excel file with 3 sheets ('PackageSum2', 'findFn', 'call'). Unfortunately, it is often unable to do this because of configuration problems that are not easy to fix. I've found 3 contributed packages that provide facilities to write Excel files with

Hi all, We know that Hermite polynomial is for Gaussian, Laguerre polynomial for Exponential distribution, Legendre polynomial for uniform distribution, Jacobi polynomial for Beta distribution. Does anyone know which kind of polynomial deals with the log-normal, Student抯 t, Inverse gamma and Fisher抯 F distribution? Thank you in advance! David [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello: What is the recommended procedure for skipping long tests in "R CMD check --as-cran"? Some time ago, after a discussion on this list, I added the following function to the fda package: CRAN <- function (x = "_R_CHECK_TIMINGS_") { x. <- Sys.getenv(x) nchar(as.character(x.)) > 0 } However, it does not seem to be working

I have spatial data on a sphere (the Earth) for which I would like to run an gls model assuming that the errors are autcorrelated, i.e. including a corSpatial correlation in the model specification. In this case the distance metric should be calculated on the sphere, therefore metric = "euclidean" in (for example) corSpher would be incorrect. I would be grateful for help on how to

Hello: How can one get the number of functions and data sets in a package? I've written a function "PackageSum2" to get an extended package summary for an installed package. I get much of what I want from the object returned by "help(package=pkgName)". For example, "help(pac=...)$info[[1]]" is a character vector giving author, maintainer,

Hello, All: The vignette with the sos package used "upquote.sty", required for R Journal when it was published in 2009. Current CRAN policy disallows "upquote.sty", and I've so far not found a way to pass "R CMD check" with sos without upquote.sty. I changed sos.Rnw per an email exchange with Prof. Ripley without solving the problem; see below. The

Hello All: I'm still unable to get Rprofile.site to set, e.g., options(max.print=222), as I did with previous versions of R. I just found similar questions posed by Trevor Miles and Ross Bowden with replies by Uwe Ligges and Duncan Murdoch. In addition to the things I tried documented below, I also copied Rprofile.site into "R_HOME/etc/i386" and

Hello, All: Jonathan Baron is "giving up" maintaining the RSiteSearch database. This breaks three things: (1) The R Site Search web service that Baron has maintained. (2) The RSiteSearch function in the utils package. (3) The sos package, for which I'm the maintainer and lead author. Might someone else be willing to take these over? For me,
