Hi, Looking into LLVM for a database query engine project... After downloading the latest source from CVS, it's my first time trying to build LLVM. Following the "Getting Started" instructions, all went well until gmake reported this error while trying to link llc: In function `(anonymous namespace)::BreakCriticalEdges::getAnalysisUsage(llvm::AnalysisUsage&) const':

Hi! Suppose I have a dataset as follows pd = c(10,7,10,11,7,11,7,6,8,3,12,7,7,10,10) I wish to calculate the mean, standard deviation, median, skewness and kurtosis i.e. regular standard statistical measures. average = mean(pd) stdev    = sd(pd) median = median(pd) skew    = skewness(pd) kurt     =  kurtosis(pd) Q. No (1) How do I get these at a stretch using some R package? I came across

I realise this is not directly related to the topic but if changes are afoot would it be possible to make the use of any sort of news or changelog more prominent in the documentation? I maintain one of the CRAN task views and when someone updates his/her package it is much, much easier for me to see what has happened and if I need to update the text if they supply a news or changelog.

It's disappointing that many packages do not have a NEWS file. Perhaps CRAN should require NEWS or CHANGELOG, as long as the system is being reformed to potentially accommodate markdown anyway. -Thomas Thomas J.

The following is a re-post (after suggestion from martin) of a mail I sent to r-core this morning, maybe some of you are interested: >>>>> On Tue, 11 Nov 1997 08:34:16 +0100, >>>>> Kurt Hornik (KH) wrote: KH> As Andreas & Fritz & I have recently, in attempts to port various pkgs KH> to R, come across the f2c problem again, I thought I'd ask ...

Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to R, and I don't have a background in statistics, so please bear with me. ;-) I'm dealing with 2^k factorial designs, and I was just wondering if there's any way to analyze more than two factors of a gage R&R study in R. For example, Minitab has an "expanded gage R&R" function that lets you include up to eight additional factors

I think Kurt has this in hand since the same issue affected src/base/NEWS.html. The fix seems to be just not to copy the html formatted NEWS to the file distribution folders and have any links in there point to doc/manuals/r-release/NEWS.html instead. The relative links to the parent directory would be a pain to sort out. (Cc: Kurt, as he may not be aware that there is a fix to apply to

Whereas we typically refer to the add-on `modules' as `libraries' (viz also the way these are represented in the search list, and the variable .Libraries), S speaks about `sections'. Shall we stay with our terminology? Or instead, speak of `sections', `packages', `modules', ...? -k =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- r-devel
