Hi the list, I have some basic questions about "writing a package". On which list shall I post them? Theoretically, I am supposed to post them on r-devel, but all the questions on this list are very advance questions, not basic ones... So I don't know what to do.

Hi all, In my package, I define some constant. In the previous version of R, I just define then in "/data/constants.R" but it seems that it is no longer possible. Instead, I am asked to "define them in the namespace". I am not sure to understand what it means. Shall I define them in the NAMESPACE file? Christophe

Hi the list In the DESCRIPTION file of my package foo0, I have: Depends: foo1 Imports: foo2 Suggest: foo3 Enhence: foo4 If I understand correctly, to install foo0 on my computer, I need to already have foo1, foo2, foo3. foo4 is not necessary. I my R sesssion, when I will write: library(foo0), then the package foo1 will be attach. foo2, foo3 and foo4 will not. Is that correct? But what is

Hi the list, Using misc3d, we can export 3d dynamic graph in pdf format. Is it also possible to export these graph into a format that we can publish on the web?

Hi! Since samba4 rc1 (we update it since beta1) the "./samba-tool ntacl sysvolcheck" command returns the following : ERROR(<type 'exceptions.TypeError'>): uncaught exception - (61, 'No data available') File "/usr/local/samba/lib/python2.7/site-packages/samba/netcmd/__init__.py", line 168, in _run return self.run(*args, **kwargs) File

Hi all Two questions: - I would like to learn more on oriented object programming with R. Is there any tutorial for that? - Without waking up a troll, I am not very familiar with diffusion list, I am more use to forum. On a diffusion list, how can I check if someone already asks a question? I mean, I went on CRAN-R website, I find the R mailing list archive. But is there a way to search

Hi all, In the package rtlu, I use the function savePlot. It is convenient since it let the user decide in which graphic format he wants his graph to be export. But when I run R CMD check, I get the following message : > rtlu(V1,fileOutput="First.tex",textBefore="\\section{Variable 1 to 3}",graphName="V1") Error in savePlot(filename = nomBarplot, type = type)

Hi the list. I do not understand the philosophy behind numeric and integer. - 1 is numeric (which I find surprising) - 2 is numeric. - 1:2 is integer. Why is that ? Christophe

Hi the list, I build a package. They was a mistake in it, but R CMD check did not find it. Is that normal ? Here is what Kurt gets (which is right, I did this mistake): --- 8< ---------------- * checking for code/documentation mismatches ... WARNING S4 class codoc mismatches from documentation object 'LongData-class': Slots for class 'LongData' Code: id other time traj

Hi the list, In WRE (or in Rdindex), we can find how the INDEX is make, how to change it, but I do not manage to find the purpose of this file. So what is the INDEX file for?

Hi all Is there any compiler for R ? By compiler, I mean something that check the cleanliness of the code : if we declare all the variables we use, if we don't use external variable from a function and so on... For exemple, something that will ring a bell on the following code (saying "line 4 : 'pp' undefine in function 'power' ") 1. pp <- 3 2. power <-

Hi the list Is there a way to know how many times an R package (on CRAN) has been download ? Christophe

Hi the list Is it possible to create an empty matrix ? I do not mean an matrix with a single value that is NA (which is not empty) but a real empty one, with length=0. I do not understand why we have length(numeric()), length(factor()) and length(character()) to zero, and length(array()) to one... Any rason for that ? Thanks Christophe

Hi the list, I write a package for clusterizing longitudinal data using a non parametric algorithm. I develop the package under windows. To be as user friendly as possible, the package use some graphical procedure to "show" to the user the evolution of the cluster construction, and to export the graph in a friendly way. Here are some example : http://christophe.genolini.free.fr/kml

Hi the list, One of my package has a memory issue that I do not manage to understand. The Memtest notes is here: <http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/memtests/valgrind/kml-Ex.Rout> Here is the message that I get from Memtest --- 8< ---------------- ~ Fast KmL ~ ==27283== Invalid read of size 4 ==27283== at 0x10C5DF28: kml1 (kml.c:183) ... ==27283== by 0x10C5DE4F: kml1 (kml.c:151)

Hi the list When two setGeneric occurs on the same function, the second erage the first and erase all the function previously define. Is it possible to prevent that ? Is it possible to declare a setGeneric that can not be erased later ? Something like the |sealed for setMethod...| || |Thanks| || Christophe

Hi the list, I use rgl to produce a 3D graph. I would like to "show" this graph to some collaborator. Is there a way to save it and send it to someone else? Christophe Genolini

Hi all I define a function with two methods, one for numeric or integer. Sometime, I need the numeric method to be applied on integer. So I try to change the class of the integer but it does not work... Does someone know why ? > x<-1:3 > class(x) [1] "integer" > class(x)<- "numeric" > class(x) [1] "integer" Thanks Christophe

Hi all I am working on k-means algorithm (in R: kmeans( ) ). The R-help advice us to try several random start in order to avoid local minimum. Does one know if there is a procedure that automaticly run this rerolling and select the best partition ? Or any studies that gives clues on the number of rerolling ? Thanks for helping. Christophe
