Dear All, I have been checking the metafor package against R-devel. R CMD check --as-cran metafor yields one note: FOSS licence with BuildVignettes: false Yes, I have 'BuildVignettes: FALSE' in my DESCRIPTION file. I see at http://developer.r-project.org/blosxom.cgi/R-devel/NEWS: Tue, 25 Jun 2013 CHANGES IN R-devel UTILITIES 'R CMD check --as-cran' warns about a false

I am currently writing a (private) package in which I produce pdf files from within R using LaTeX. To do so I mainly copied some lines from the buildVignettes() function in the tools package. This uses the texi2dvi which is included in R's bin directory: system(paste(file.path(R.home(), "bin", "texi2dvi"), "--quiet --pdf", bft)) This runs

Dear all, When running function 'testQAReport()', which uses function 'buildVignettes()' to create a pdf-file I get the following error: > source("testQAReport.R") > testQAReport() Error in .get_package_metadata(pkgdir) : Files 'DESCRIPTION' and 'DESCRIPTION.in' are missing. Since I did not get this error in earlier versions of R, could you

Hi, On both Unix and Windows there is a mechanism to add variables to the environment when R is started. I noticed that, on Unix, this mechanism is not used when R is started normally at the command line but only when it's started using the 'R CMD' syntax. One problem with this is some lack of consistent cross-platform behaviour. For example: On Linux: $ echo $TEXINPUTS $

Dear Deepayan and dear list, I notice a small inconsistency with the command completion of the R CMD check. --no-latex is deprecated sincs R 2.12.0 and defunct since 2.13.0 but the command line completion still suggests it: cb at cbdesktop:~/r-devel$ bin/R CMD check --no-<here I hit tab> --no-clean --no-examples --no-latex --no-vignettes --no-codoc --no-install

Greetings. I'm teaching linear regression this semester and that means I write more functions for my regression support package "rockchalk". I'm at a point now were some fresh eyes would help, so if you are a student in a course on regression, please consider looking over my package overview document here: http://pj.freefaculty.org/R/rockchalk.pdf That tells how you can grab

Hi, This is (presumably?) a bug in R 1.7.0 under Windows. I have not tested it on other systems. Attachment of packages is case sensitive but not library(), resulting in multiple loadings of the same package if the library name is spelled differently. The following example loads the `tools' package, once as `tools' and once as `Tools'. This behavior is the same with all packages and

In process of creating data package from an existing one. The current package has both raw data files and the associated RData objects created from them. Currently, the data subdirectory is 1.5Mb and the extdata is 5.4Mb. Never having created a data package before, how is this best done? Should the data package contain only the raw data, or the RData objects too (tightly coupled)? If the later,

Hi, I am Parthasarathy G , from IIT Maras ( India ). I am currently in third year of the undergraduate course. I would like to contribute to the R project. Can anyone guide me regarding this? Thanking you, Parthasarathy [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Is there a 'proper' way of checking if cluster is active. For example, I create a cluster called .PBcluster > str(.PBcluster) List of 4 $ :List of 3 ..$ con :Classes 'sockconn', 'connection' atomic [1:1] 3 .. .. ..- attr(*, "conn_id")=<externalptr> ..$ host: chr "localhost" ..$ rank: int 1 ..- attr(*, "class")= chr

Dear all: I have a big data file of 60000 columns and 60000 rows like that: AA AC AA AA .......AT CC CC CT CT.......TC .......................... ......................... I want to transpose it and the output is a new like that AA CC ............ AC CC............ AA CT............. AA CT......... .................... .................... AT TC............. The keypoint is I can't read

Hi all, Is there a way to get cran R to set the working directory to be wherever the source file is? Each time I work on a project on different computers I keep having to set the working directory which is getting quite annoying. Thanks, Sachin [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, all I would like to use R to perform k-means clustering on my data which included 33 samples measured with ~1000 variables. I have already used kmeans package for this analysis, and showed that there are 4 clusters in my data. However, it's really difficult to plot this cluster in 2-D format since the "huge" number of variables. One possible way is to project the

Hello! I am having an issue with the OrgMassSpecR package. I run my HPLC using a DAD detector. My raw data is exported form chemstation as a csv file. I then upload the csv into Rstudio no problem. Using the DrawChromatogram function, I get a nice chromatogram, and my retention time, peak area, and apex intensity values are given as well. The problem comes with the peak area value given. The

Dear R Developers, Recently filed (and dismissed ;) ) law suit by Astrolabe against tz database developers caused a lot of media-press and discussions and created some kind of precedence in the USA [3]. But also it imho showed that similar attacks might happen in the future, and possibly against data sets which are not that obviously "factual" thus after all might fall under copyright

Hi, I am currently analysis Raman spectroscopic data with the hyperSpec package. I consulted the documentation on this package and I found an example work-flow dedicated to Raman spectroscopy (see the address : http://hyperspec.r-forge.r-project.org/chondro.pdf) I am currently trying to remove outliers thanks to PCA just as they did in the documentation, but I get a message error I can't

Dear all, I have trouble with R-beta sweaving files that include definitions with \SweaveInput in combination with keep.source = TRUE Symptom: SInput is taken from too far down the input file (the shift is the number of lines of the included file). Is that known? Searching didn't turn up anything, yet I think there are more people than just me using keep.source. Example: $

I want to include a vignette with a package I wrote. I did follow the "Writting R extentions" document step by step, but went I run "Rcmd build", an error occurs.
