1) I installed the latest ESS (Emacs Speaks Statistics) beta release on a machine running Linux. Since there is no S-PLUS product for Linux, I set the ess-site.el file for R, xlisp-stat, and S version 4.

As a user of only R, I don't use much of the potential of ESS and Emacs. Without entering a religious feud, is there any reason I should use XEmacs rather than my current GNU Emacs? (I looked on the XEmacs site, but I didn't understand the programming issues they were talking about (over my head).) Martin Henry H.

Is it possible to run R soley from the shell? I'm evaluating necessary fixes to R and XLispStat (and eventually SAS and S-PLUS 4) for running as subprocesses to Emacs (NTEmacs) for ESS. Currently, I lose control of R when running via Emacs; is it possible to "remove" the windows? (all, or all but the graphics window)? best, -- -tony (Anthony Rossini) Statistics

Is there any way to process the "vignette" documantation files? I have been looking at the bioconductor packages and most of them have *.Rnw files in doc directories. They look like regular TeX but have sections showing R code that seem to choke TeX.

Is there a recommended binary version of perl to use under Windows XP for `Rcmd build'? The R FAQ for Windows just mentions "perl". I think that Kevin Wang's document on R for Windows suggests ActiveState perl but I have not been able to install it. I am running Windows XP Professional on a laptop. The operating system was originally Windows 98 then upgraded to Windows ME

I've been having problems building vignettes in bioconductor packages with R-devel. Turns out that Rdevel/share/texmf/hyperref.cfg wants Blue and Red predefined, when only blue and red are defined (as of rsync Rdevel, Sept 10th). This is on a Debian unstable system (Sept 9th version). Might not apply to all other tetex systems. Seems to have bitten the bioconductor build system, though.

could we add an argument to suppress printing of levels for print.factor()? i.e.: print.factor <- function (x, quote = FALSE, print.levels = TRUE, ...) ## MODIFIED { if (length(x) <= 0) cat("factor(0)\n") else print(as.character(x), quote = quote, ...) if (print.levels) { ## ADDED cat("Levels:

I know, we've discussed this several times in the good old days days of the R-testers list :-), but the problem is still unsolved. I want to include Tibshirani's data in my port of the bootstrap package, but we still have no way of including data in a clean way. IMHO we should have a subdirectory of $RHOME/data for each library, e.g. $RHOME/data/base $RHOME/data/bootstrap Actually

Has anyone had success building a package on a windows machine? I am trying the following command with no luck (perhaps my flags are incorrect?). At this point I am stuck. Any help greatly appreciated.

In a .First.lib I want to issue two require()s to insure that two other packages are loaded. But I want the package being loaded by .First.lib using library.dynam("mypackage",pkb,lib) to be higher in the search order than the two required packages, because I want to have a couple of functions from the two required packages overridden. What is the best way to do that? Thanks in advance

Dear R users, I ran into this curious problem: > d <- rnorm(100) > d.density <- density(d) > sum( d.density$x * d.density$y) [1] 2.517502 Admittedly the method of computing the mass under the density curve at line 3 is crude. But 2.5 is pretty far from 1, the value it should be. I tried a few other dataset and got similar result. Am I missing something obvious? Or is the return

I'm trying to get Sweave running for automatic report generation, and it seems to run fine when just using verbatim output. However, I've ran into a problem with xtable. I would like to print the following matrix using xtable: > dim(counts) [1] 19 15 All columns are filled with real/integer numbers > 0 and < 1000. Just typing xtable(counts) gives correct LaTeX output, but
