similar to: BibTeX entries in CITATION file

[Using R 2.8.0 / Win XP / ] I just added a CITATION file to the heplots package--- appended below. From the document ion for ?CITATION, there can be *one or more* calls to citEntry() within the CITATION file, and each should produce an object of class "citation". With just a single citEntry(), citation produces the expected output, with BibTeX entry: >

Dear List, While using the --as-cran option for checking one of my packages: R CMD check --as-cran hydroGOF_0.3-3.tar.gz I got the following error message: pkgname <- "hydroGOF" > source(file.path(R.home("share"), "R", "examples-header.R")) > options(warn = 1) > library('hydroGOF') Error in loadNamespace(i[[1L]], c(lib.loc,

Dear list, For the maintainer of a given package, is it possible to change the licence of a it from GPL >= 2 to GPL >= 3 ?

Dear List, Recently I got the comment that the implementation of the random number generator used by default in R (Mersenne-Twister) could not be "safe" for 64-bits machines, so I decided to put the question here because I do not have expertise in that topic, and because this question could be "too technical for R-help's audience". I apologise if this is not the case.

Dear list, For the implementation of a particular optimization algorithm it is very important the random number generator. I would like to know if somebody could tell me what is the random number generator used by default in the 'runif' function. >From the help page of 'runif' and '.Random.seed' I guess that the default algorithm is 'Mersenne-Twister', but I

Dear list members, Within a loop, I need to create an xyplot with only a legend, not even with the default external box drawn by lattice. I already managed to remove the axis labels and tick marks, but I couldn't find in the documentation of xyplot how to remove the external box. I would really appreciate any help with this ------------- START ----------- library(lattice) x<-1:100

Dear R developers, Due to the increasing use R in hydrology and other close-related environmental sciences, I would like to ask if it would be possible to create a new Special Interest Group mailing list, called 'R-sig-hydro', specially devoted those topics. If possible to do so, I'd offer myself to maintain such mailing list (if needed). Thanks in advance, Mauricio

Dear list, I have a question related to the correct interpretation of the relative convergence criterion used by 'optim'. In the help of the function is it written that: "reltol:Relative convergence tolerance. The algorithm stops if it is unable to reduce the value by a factor of reltol * (abs(val) + reltol) at a step." and I was wondering if the previous criterion is

Hi, On Windows, with last R-devel tarball (r40647) from ftp://ftp.stat.math.ethz.ch/Software/R/R-devel_2007-02-04.tar.gz I get the following build error: E:\biocbld\bbs-2.0-bioc\R\src\gnuwin32> make ... ... ---------- Making package utils ------------ adding build stamp to DESCRIPTION installing NAMESPACE file and metadata installing R files Error in namespaceExport(ns, exports) :

Dear R developers, Taking advantage of the yesterday discussion about the use of Depends/Import/Suggests/Enhances, I would like to add a related question. Let's assume, in the DESCRIPTION file of my package foo0, I have: Depends: foo1 Imports: foo2 while in the NAMESPACE file of my package I have importFrom("foo2", f2) and within my package I use the following two external

Dear List, I'm building a package that uses 2 functions of the 'sp' package, and I declared them in my NAMESPACE file as follow: importFrom("sp", proj4string, coordinates) The package is built without any problem, but when I load the package, I get the following message: " Loading required package: sp Note: polygon geometry computations in maptools

Hi is there an easy and fast way, to generate a BibTeX file of all installed / loaded packages and R? I know about toBibtex(citation()) to extract the BibTeX for a single package, but how can I generate a file containg citations for all installed / loaded packages? Cheers, Rainer -- NEW GERMAN FAX NUMBER!!! Rainer M. Krug, PhD (Conservation Ecology, SUN), MSc (Conservation Biology, UCT),

Back in 2010 I raised this issue, and there was some discussion, https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2010-November/058987.html The goal, then, as now is to have a way to produce a bibtex-clean .bib file (i.e., not requiring manual editing except in unusual circumstances) reflecting installed packages for use in writing where one often needs/wants to cite all packages used in a given

I've noticed quite a few messages relating to large data sets bedeviling R users, and having just had to program my way through one that actually caused a "Bus error" when I tried to read it in, I'd like to ask two questions. 1) Are there any facilities for aggregation of data in R? ( I admit that this will not do much for the large data set problem immediately) 2) Is there any

Dear Colleagues, I would like to provide a CITATION file for my package nat.nblast [1]. I have the correct citation in BibTeX format [2]. How can I convert this BibTeX to the format needed by R for a package CITATION file (I have a lot of other packages needing citations ...). I think what I need is the opposite of RefManageR::toBiblatex [3]. This seems like it should be a common need, so I

Sorry for the off-topic question, but I know there are some talented LaTeX users out there. Which bibliography style gives only the year in text citations (e.g "for further details, see Anderson (1992)" )?

Function in the base library of R 1.8.0 seems to use a search path with base coming before the local environment. I think this is intentional and is related to base being a namespace. > log <- function(x, base) 200 > log(1) [1] 200 > log10 function (x) log(x, 10) <environment: namespace:base> > log10(1) [1] 0 > This is most problematic when you are creating a

Dear all, Is there an elegant way to add citations of packages when using Sweave? Ideally I'd like a function which creates a Bibtex-file with the packagenames as keys. The idea is to use \cite{packagename} or \cite{R} in LaTeX. I know you can get the Bibtex entry with toBibtex(citation("packagename")). But after updating R or a package one needs to update the bib-file too. When

If .../<pkg>/man/ contains a filename beginning with [, such as [.datetimes, Rdconvlib.pl cannot convert that help file into latex at INSTALL time.
