I have installed Sweave as recommended. http://lifeasclay.wordpress.com/tag/sweave/. Placing a test.Rnw file, for instance, in "/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.15/Resources/library/utils/Sweave" generates test.tex files that generate pdf files with LaTeX. To be honest, placing Rnw files seem to make sense. The "exams" package does require not this step. It uses

Hi, I'm using the XML package to scrape data and I'm trying to figure out how to eliminate the memory leak I'm currently experiencing. In the searches I've done, it sounds like the existence of the leak is fairly well known. What isn't as clear is exactly how to solve it. The general process I'm using is this: require(XML) myFunction <- function(URL) { html

I am installing R 2.15.1 onto RHEL 6, using gcc 4.7.0 with Intel MKL 10.3.7 and the following environment: export BLAS_LIBS="-Wl,--start-group /usr/caen/intel-12.1/mkl/lib/intel64/libmkl_gf_lp64.a /usr/caen/intel-12.1/mkl/lib/intel64/libmkl_sequential.a /usr/caen/intel-12.1/mkl/lib/intel64/libmkl_core.a -Wl,--end-group -lpthread" export LAPACK_LIBS="-Wl,--start-group

Hi, Using R 2.15.1 on Windows 7. Have installed both versions 32 and 64bit. In both of them among others I have installed a package rgenoud When I open R gui of 32bit and write library(rgenoud) it responds by showing a functional rgenoud version 5.7-8. The same it does on Rgui 64bit. Now I am working in cygwin (v. 1.12.4.0) with xwin. Normally before when I had installed a package, I only had

( A similar problem is also reported by Sebastian P. Luque with library(maptools) library(trip) in the vignette as below ). I am writing a vignette which loads RMySQL and RPostgreSQL. This produces the warning: Loading required package: DBI Warning in .simpleDuplicateClass(def, prev) : A specification for class ?dbObjectId? in package ?RPostgreSQL? seems equivalent to one from package

Dear useR's, today I stumbled over an interesting phenomenon: First, I created a named numeric vector with a certain class and several attributes via the structure() function. After that, I implemented a simple print method for this class. When calling this function it produces an endless loop of print calls until R crashes. :/ What is going on here? Is this a bug or have I done something

Hi, I am trying to use the gettext() function to translate some text. I have never used this function before, so, it's entirely possible that I am doing something wrong. The issue that I am encountering is that gettext() properly translates some text, but not some other. Natural language was compiled in my R (installed from the Debian repositories): $ R R version 2.15.1 (2012-06-22) --

Dear All, I'm trying to track down a very erratic bug in some fortran; I have an example that quite consistently segfaults on windoz, and more sporadically on mac, all in the course of doing some bootstrap calculations, varying the set.seed call, but I'm now trying to see what is going on on our redhat system: R version 2.15.1 (2012-06-22) -- "Roasted Marshmallows"

Hello, I spent a lot of a time on a weird bug, and I just managed to narrow it down. In parallel code (here with parallel::mclappy, but I got it doMC/multicore too), if the library(tcltk) is loaded, R hangs when trying to open a DB connection. I got the same behaviour on two different computers, one dual-core, and one 2 xeon quad-core. Here's the code: library(parallel) library(RSQLite)

Hello, I'm most grateful for your time to read this. I have a uber size 30GB file of 6 million records and 3000 (mostly categorical data) columns in csv format. I want to bootstrap subsamples for multinomial regression, but it's proving difficult even with my 64GB RAM in my machine and twice that swap file , the process becomes super slow and halts. I'm thinking about generating

In help(gc) I read, "...the primary purpose of calling 'gc' is for the report on memory usage". What memory usage does gc() report? And more importantly, which memory uses does it NOT report? Because I see one answer from gc(): used (Mb) gc trigger (Mb) max used (Mb) Ncells 14875922 794.5 21754962 1161.9 17854776 953.6 Vcells 59905567 457.1 84428913 644.2

Happy 2013! Can someone with more knowledge of edge case scoping/eval rules explain what is happening below? Happens in all the versions of R I have on hand. Behavior itself is confusing, but ?as.environment also provides no clue. The term used in that doc is 'search list', which is ambiguous, but the see also section mentions search(), so I would *think* that is what is intended.

Hi there, I have had a problem with loading the package XLConnectJars_0.2-0.zip from the CRAN mirrors. The problem occurs when executing utils:::menuInstallPkgs() I have traced the problem down to the "download" internal command. It appears that files over approx 15 MB are being truncated. The exact point of truncation varies slightly but the truncation is on a 4096-byte boundary. I

Dear R users and developers, I have a dataset containing 34 variables measured in a survey, which has some missing items. I would like to conduct a factor analysis of this data. I tested mi, Amelia, and MissForest as alternative packages in order to impute the missing data. I now have 5 separate datasets with the variables I am interested in factor analysing.
