Speaking of optimization and speeding up R calculations... I mentioned last week I want to speed up calculation of generalized inverses. On Debian Wheezy with R-2.15.2, I see a huge speedup using a souped up generalized inverse algorithm published by V. N. Katsikis, D. Pappas, Fast computing of theMoore-Penrose inverse matrix, Electronic Journal of Linear Algebra, 17(2008), 637-650. I was so

Dear all, I already posted a question regarding this to an existing thread: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e2/devel/06/10/0852.html#start I apologize for the double posting but I have some further information that might be illuminating. I am trying to cross-compile my R-package under ubuntu linux, kernel 2.6.17-10-generic, on an IBM T60. I am following the suggested steps in

Greetings, R developers Here are my requests today. 1. Would you care to review this vignette http://pj.freefaculty.org/R/Rchaeology.pdf and tell me if you think it is wrong headed, and 2. Supposing you do not think I'm completely wrong, would you care to point me at more examples of R idioms that lead to deep insights into the nature of R programming? Longer more boring explanation: In

2 days ago, I posted my long message about the observed slowdown in a package between R-2.15.0 and R-2.15.2. Uwe Ligges urged me to make a self-contained R example. That was the encouragement I needed. I tracked the problem down to a failing use of a LAPACK routine. R's LAPACK C interface changed one variable in one function. But it turned out to be an important change. In case others have

Greetings. I'm trying to understand a problem on a Dell Laptop. Details below, also uploaded the R working example that I pasted below. http://pj.freefaculty.org/scraps/testSymbols.R > sessionInfo() R version 2.15.1 (2012-06-22) Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) locale: [1] LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=C [3] LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8 [5]

Hello, everybody. I recognize I'm asking you to deal with a not-very-important problem. But its important to me :) I've noticed a little inconsistency in the print.function() output. I traced the matter to deparse.c, for which I attach a patch that addresses 3 separate things. There's one important thing that I'm willing to stand behind and 2 litter things that I think would be

I'm having a strange problem compiling R4.4.0 on an AlmaLinux9 box. I've compiled previous versions OK on the same hardware/software (last was R4.3.2) but 4.4.0 is repeatedly failing. Configuration works OK. ./configure --prefix=/bi/apps/R/4.4.0 --enable-R-shlib R is now configured for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu Source directory: . Installation directory: /bi/apps/R/4.4.0

Hi, everybody I have an account on Dreamhost.com and when I renewed it recently, their message said my usage of storage and bandwidth had been reasonably low. In an idle moment about 3 weeks ago, I followed your instructions to set up a CRAN mirror on their server. Here it is: http://www.freefaculty.org/cran It is not hosted at my University, but it is a working, high availability server. Is

I'm writing to ask for a policy exception, or advice on how to make this package CRAN allowable. http://rweb.quant.ku.edu/kran/src/contrib/portableParallelSeeds_0.9.tar.gz Yesterday I tried to submit a package on CRAN and Dr Ripley pointed out that I had not understood the instructions about packages. Here's the part where the R check gives a Note * checking R code for possible

Here's my little discussion example for a quadratic regression: http://pj.freefaculty.org/R/WorkingExamples/regression-quadratic-1.R Students press me to know the benefits of poly() over the more obvious regression formulas. I think I understand the theory on why poly() should be more numerically stable, but I'm having trouble writing down an example that proves the benefit of this. I

Hello R-sig-debian and (hopefully) Dirk: On Debian wheezy, I have the R packaging that CRAN (you) provide. I run into a little trouble while trying to fiddle with alternative BLAS. I know you and I went around on this last year and I think perhaps I've found something wrong in the framework, or I've just done something wrong. I installed the packages openblas-base and openblas-dev, and

I'm making some illustrations and it would be convenient to automatically shade the overlapping portions of circles. These illustrations are for Social Choice theory, a field in political science and economics. I've wrestled together some examples so you can see what I mean, but have not mastered the "color overlapping sections" problem (as you will see):

Hi all, I seem to be getting segfaults when attempting to build R 4.4.0 on RHEL 9.1 (5.14.0-162.23.1.el9_1.x86_64). Interestingly, it seems to build ok on Rocky 9.1 and 9.3. This is the trace: make[3]: Entering directory '/home/esteva.m/R/R-4.4.0/src/library/grDevices' building package 'grDevices' make[4]: Entering directory

Hi all, While the package with which I am working is apart of the Bioconductor project, I think that this might be a better forum to ask my question. I have recently updated one of my packages, and then tried to build it using R-devel, but I get the following error message: ################ -----snip---- Loading required package: lattice Loading required package: RColorBrewer Error in

I have been making simple functions to display regressions in a new package called "rockchalk". For 3d illustrations, my functions use persp, and I've grown to like working with it. As an example of the kind of things I like to do, you might consult my lecture on multicollinearity, which is by far the most detailed illustration I've prepared.

I want up-to-dateish versions of TexLive, R, gnumeric, emacs, but on a more-or-less stable base of Centos-5.2. I asked for packages in this, but got no answers. So now I've built them and will let you try them if you want. I used the source packages from Fedora 8 and 9. I wanted TexLive because many of us have jumped ship to Ubuntu Linux 8.04 and it does offer TexLive, and the compatability

I want to write an R help example that throws up 2 graphs in separate windows, for comparison. In Linux I plot one, then run x11() to spawn a new on-screen device. Is there some generic equivalent so I can write an example that will work for Windows and Mac users as well? If there is none, don't you think it would be fun if there were? pj -- Paul E.

I set up a local repo for testing packages. My packages are not showing up from the repository when viewed by Linux clients. I suspect this is a web administrator/firewall issue, but it could be I created the repo wrongly. I am supposed to run write_PACKAGES separately in each R-version folder. Right? Maybe other novices can use these scripts, if they are not wrong :) Here's the file
