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 ...

Version 0.60 of R for Unix is now available. Release of this version has been delayed for a variety of reasons, but we hope that it will provide a good deal more stability and functionality than previous versions. However it should be regarded as of "alpha" quality for a short shakedown period. We would like user feedback to help us improve the quality of R. You can do this by

There's a non-compatibility between R and S-plus with the default argument of the locator() function. R has locator(n=1) S-plus has locator(n=500, type="n", noclick=F) S's default is ``better'' I think, insofar as it means in 99% of the cases ``user clicks <left> as many times as wanted and then clicks <right> to end'' Ross Ihaka and his grad

Hi, I have an xts starting with a number of columns (currency pairs see below), then I add new ones which are derived from existing ones (like adding the moving average of a column) by merging the new columns one by one. These get the name of the column they are calculated from concatenated with ".1". All done by merge.xts, easy. Now, I have a function (procState below) which generates

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':
