Hi. I'm trying to find a systematic way to prevent assignment to names of existing functions. I've tried reassigning to the assignment operator, with mixed results. The function definition for "<-" below works as hoped for the demonstrated assignments to a and c. However, for the assignment based on the test function, it appears that the formal argument is not

In the section "Basic Use", 5th paragraph (where the example counts as a single line 3rd paragraph) it says <quote> Note that calling 'setGeneric()' in this form is not strictly necessary before calling

Hi, I am quite new to R and in need of some advice. I am trying to conduct a meta regression over a some studies with about 7 mod variables which I have to dummy encode. I have found the following piece of code in the manual for the metafor library: ### manual dummy coding of the allocation factor alloc.random <- ifelse(dat$alloc == "random", 1, 0) alloc.alternate <-

Hey, I've found a bit of chatter about people using hacks to copy voicemail messages into object storage (like S3) after they've been recorded. But I was wondering if any work has been done on the VoiceMail app to actually store and retrieve messages to/from an object store?

Hi everyone. After lurking for a while, this is my first post to the list. I am working with some graduate students on the general topic of compiler support for SIMD programming and specific projects related to LLVM and my own Parabix technology (parabix.costar.sfu.ca). Right now we have a few course projects on the go and already a question arising out of one of them (SSE2 Hoisting).

I tried googling and searching the forums here but was unable to locate an answer, please forgive if this has been covered. Is there any way to provide formatting guidelines to dictate how parsed comments are displayed in the resulting html? In the simplest example, is there a way to specify a linebreak (break tag)? Thanks, Andy -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Dear all, Here is a little coding problem. It falls in the category of "how can I do this efficiently?" rather than "how can I do this?" (I know how to do it inefficiently). So, if you want to take the challenge, keep reading, otherwise just skip to the next post - I won't be offended by that ;-) I am coding a particle filter and I want to use systematic resampling to

I''m doing some housekeeping and just realised that the rdoc formatter produces gibberish: http://rspec.rubyforge.org/rdoc/files/EXAMPLES_rd.html Will anyone protest if I just go ahead and remove it? (I can''t imagine anyone using it, especially with the much better HTML formatter) Aslak

Is it possible to fit a structural equation model with link functions in R? I am trying to build a logistic-regression-like model in sem, because incorporating the dichotomous variables linearly seems inappropriate. Mplus can do something similar by specifying a 'link' parameter, but I would like to be able to do it in R, ofcourse. I have explored the 'sem' package from John Fox,

I have a collection of functions, class definitions and methods which I would like to test systematically for their correctness after changes to their code, and also after major R revisions. I believe that the correct term for these systematic tests (as opposed to more informal tests) is a 'test suite'. Does anyone [apart from Pat Burns :-) ] have code, or templates, or specific

Hey, I have free calling to between DDIs and cellphones on our group plan. I figure it'd be nice to allow staff with those cellphones to be able to forward callers to their VoiceMail to their cellphones using the * feature. I have a standard extension macro that has VoiceMail support. So far I've done this by duplicating the standard extension macro, and adding this rule (where ARG1 is

signif(.) is a <primitive> function. Unfortunately, I couldn't even find WHERE in the source, signif(.) is defined. Here are the symptoms: xmin <- .Machine $ double.xmin signif(xmin,3) #--> NA umach <- unlist(.Machine)[paste("double.x", c("min","max"), sep='')] for(dig in 1:10) {cat("dig=",dig,": ");

Hi all Is there any systematic way to compute all possible paths, first-order loops and j-th order loops between two given nodes in a flowgraph (directed graph with cycles) - preferably using the igraph library in R? I have checked the igraph documentation but I can't figure out any direct and systematic way to do so. Any ideas? I use the following definitions from Butler, R. and A.

Hi all, Is there a way to study the lead and lag relation of two time series? Let's say I have two time series, At and Bt. Is there a systematic way of concluding whether it's A leading B or B leading A and by how much? Thanks!

Hi all, I am trying to find estimates for 7 parameters of a model which should fit real data. I have a function for the negative log likelihood (NLL) of the data. With optim(method="L-BFGS-B",lower=0) I am now minimizing the NLL to find the best fitting parameters. My problem is that the algorithm does not converge for certain data sets. I have read that one should scale the fn

Hello, Vector y is an alphabetically sorted version of vector x. Will both samples, X and Y, be "absolutely" random or will they have systematic differences? And: Should I sort or shuffle a vector before sampling? Thank you, *S* x <- as.factor(LETTERS[sequence(10:1)]) y <- sort(x) X <- sample(x, 5) Y <- sample(y, 5) -- Sascha Vieweg, saschaview at gmail.com

Dear R users, I have two related questions about scoping and data encapsulation. One is fairly specific - I am looking at "scoping.R" which is used in demo(scoping) - it's an example of lexical scoping and encapsulation. Where is the 'total' stored? It is not an attribute in 'ross' or 'robert' however, functions like balance() have access to it. Is it more

Batch: For me, batch in its present state is broken and useless. My primary need for batch is to produce a final output file of a session after I have worked out a sequence of procedures. I save my instructions in a file that I can source, then run it in batch to have a copy of input and output together. (If there was a log file (or dribble), this problem would be solved.) At present, there are

A set of patches for R-0.50-a1 is now available as ftp://stat.auckland.ac.nz/pub/R/R-0.50-a1.patch1.gz The patches mainly fix problems reported since R-0.50-a1 but some older problems are also fixed. Here is the list of changes. Ross o Many subsetting and mutation problems with the new "expression" type have now been fixed. o When ask=T is set in par() the user is instructed
