similar to: New version of cloudRmpi

cloudRmpi is means for doing parallel processing in R, using MPI on a cloud-based network. It currently supports the use of Amazon's EC2 cloud computer service. cloudRmpi provides a mechanism to launch and manage a cloud-based network and to access an R session on the network's master MPI node (using the rreval package). cloudRmpi should work with any MPI based R package (it has been

rreval 1.1 is now available on CRAN. This release fixes a Window specific bug. It is required for cloudRmpi 1.1 (which is also now available on CRAN). rreval is a means for using R on a remote system from within a local R session. Any R expression can be evaluated on the remote server. All non-graphical results are returned to the local R session: this includes the results of remote

Hi All, I was wondering if anybody had experience running R on amazon's ec2 "cloud"? More specifically, has anybody created an "amazon machine image" (AMI) for use with it? I was wondering if there was a quantian type image available as an amazon machine image, maybe running debian or ubuntu? It supports open MPI among other libs which is nice. It would be nice to put

He was suggesting to upgrade to 15.10 if you needed the newer fortran for some reason (or other newer things only in backports or not even there). I also mostly run LTS versions of Ubuntu, especially in my research group where I manage our cloud/servers. Which also matches the computer cluster available to me. That said I also stick to the stock packages for all the basic underlying libraries

As I understand it, sum() treats a logical vectors as 1's and 0's, so that > is.logical(c(FALSE,TRUE,FALSE)) [1] TRUE > sum(c(FALSE,TRUE,FALSE)) [1] 1 However, summing the results of an is.na() yields a negative number. Eg > is.na(c(1,NA,3)) [1] FALSE TRUE FALSE > is.logical(is.na(c(1,NA,3))) [1] TRUE > sum(is.na(c(1,NA,3))) [1] -1 (This is from R Version 0.64.0,

Does anyone know what algorithm R uses in glm, family=binomial (i.e. a logit model)? I assume that it's in the source somewhere, but I wasn't able to find it. I'd like to know what file it's in (in a unix distribution of R). Thanks for your help. --------------------------- Barnet Wagman wagman at enteract.com 1361 N.

I'm have what's probably a trivial &| silly problem trying to access a c-function in a shared library ( R 0.64, under redhat linux 5.2). R COMPILE rctest.c R SHLIB -o libRC.so rctest.o produce a reasonable looking shared library ('nm libRC.so' shows that the function 'rctest' is present). In R, the command dyn.load("/fullpathname/libRC.so")

Since there doesn't appear to be an RMySQL rpm for SuSE 8.*, does anyone know if the 7.3 version will work with the SuSE 8.2 rpms of R and DBI? The package installs without complaint, but when I try to run con <- dbConnect(dbDriver("MySQL"),dbname="test") I get the error Error in dbConnect(dbDriver("MySQL")) : couldn't find function

According David Jame's response to my earlier question, there is a problem with setGeneric.setMethod in R 1.8.0 that affects DBI and RMySQL. Is there a fix for this? David Jame's refers to an 'R-patched version' but I haven't seen anything like this on CRAN. Would going back to an older version of R solve the problem? Thanks, Barnet Wagman "David James wrote:

I wonder if someone could explain how the following R idiom works (it's used in glm.fit). start <- coef start[fit$pivot] <- coef coef is a vector of coefficients, set by .Fortran("dqrls", ...). fit$pivot is a vector of integer indexes (indicating how dqrls permuted the columns of x). If coef has n elements, fit$pivot is a permutation of seq(1,5). start[fit$pivot]
