Hello. I am trying to optimize a set of parameters using /optim/ in which the actual function to be minimized contains matrix multiplication and is of the form: SUM ((A%*%X - B)^2) where A is a matrix and X and B are vectors, with X as parameter vector. This has worked well so far. Recently, I was given a data set A of size 360440 x 1173, which could not be handled as a normal matrix. I

Hello. I am trying to invert a matrix, and I am finding that I can get different answers depending on whether I set LAPACK true or false using "qr". I had understood that LAPACK is, in general more robust and faster than LINPACK, so I am confused as to why I am getting what seems to be invalid answers. The matrix is ostensibly the Hessian for a function I am optimizing. I want to get

On my Mac: str(.Machine) ... $ integer.max????????? : int 2147483647 ?$ sizeof.long????????? : int 8 ?$ sizeof.longlong????? : int 8 ?$ sizeof.longdouble??? : int 16 ?$ sizeof.pointer?????? : int 8 ????? On a Windows 10 machine I have, $ sizeof.long : int 4; otherwise the same as on my Mac. ????? Am I correct that $ sizeof.long = 4 means 4 bytes = 32 bits? log2(.Machine$integer.max)

Or is the order of magnitude difference just too great? ????? I don't perceive that as feasible.? Once I found what was generating NAs, it was easy to code a function to return pseudo-random

Hello. I seem to be having the same problem that Paul had in the thread titled "[Rd] R 2.15.2 make check failure on 32-bit --with-blas="-lgoto2"" from October of last year <https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2012-October/065103.html> Unfortunately, that thread ended without an answer to his last question. Briefly, I am trying to compile an Rblas for Windows NT 32bit

Thanks to Luke and Avi for their comments.? I wrapped "round" around the call to "rnorm" inside my "rpois.".? For "lambda" really big, that "round" won't do anything.? However, it appears to give integers in floating point representation that are larger than .Machine$integer.max.? That sounds very much like what someone would want.?

Hello. When trying to compile R-3.0.2 on Windows 7 64bit, I get an error relating to "alone_decoder.c: Permission denied." The entire error code is copied below. gcc -std=gnu99 -m64 -shared -o Riconv.dll Riconv.def win_iconv.o touch stamp gcc -std=gnu99 -m64 -I../../include -I. -Iapi -DLZMA_API_STATIC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DWIN32 -O3 -Wall -pedantic -march=core-avx-i -O3 --param

Julia Programming Language uses also OpenBlas, and it is actively maintained with bugs being fixed as I have checked it out: http://www.openblas.net/Changelog.txt So I still see it ok to be included as an options(...) feature (by default off, just for safety), over other Blas libraries. R could not use Intel MKL for legal reasons (I think), because as long that R ships with GPL libraries,

????? This issue arose for me in simulations to estimate confidence, prediction, and tolerance intervals from glm(., family=poisson) fits embedded in a BMA::bic.glm fit using a simulate.bic.glm function I added to the development version of Ecfun, available at "https://github.com/sbgraves237/Ecfun".? This is part of a vignette I'm developing, available at

The issue is that without an extensible derivative table or the proposed extensions, it is not possible to automatically produce (without manual modification of the deriv3 output) a function that avoids catastrophic cancellation regardless of the working range. Manual modification is not onerous as a one-time exercise, but can be time consuming when it must be done numerous times, for example

Hi Avraham, What a coincidence, I have been following this post of yours: https://www.avrahamadler.com/2013/10/24/an-openblas-based-rblas-for-windows-64-step-by-step/ Looks like this post is slightly older than what you have shared previously. It is strange that you did not get the attachments. I am pasting the contents of the MkRules.local here:

Please pardon my ignorance, but doesn't OpenBLAS still not always play nicely with multi-threaded OpenMP? (for example, don't race conditions sometimes crop up)? If so, it might be nice to have the ability to temporarily disable multi-threaded OpenMP (effectively: omp_set_num_threads(1)) for the duration of operations using OpenBLAS. Regards Ben > Julia using OpenBLAS is *very*

Hello. I am trying to build R on Windows. It appears that my build passes the various "make checks" (unless I missed some error) and running Rterm seems to work fine whereas Rgui has an immediate error stating " AppName: rgui.exe AppVer: 2.150.58871.0 ModName: rzlib.dll ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 0000a9e5 The taskbar still works, but the console window has nothing in it, and
