Dear all, In S+, there are functions like create.ole.object call.ole.method release.ole.object for communicating with other programs which work as a COM server (on Windows). Is it possible to do something similar in R (I've studied the 'connections' facilities, but they do not seem to work). ========================================== S?ren H?jsgaard, PhD, Senior Scientist

Dear all, I am trying to install RCurl (because I want to install devtools) and to do so I've been informed that I must install one of the packages libcurl4-openssl-dev libcurl4-nss-dev No matter which one I install I get the following error from R: * installing *source* package ‘RCurl’ ... ** package ‘RCurl’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked checking for curl-config...

Dear all, My gRbase package imports functionality from the bioconductor packages graph, Rgraphviz and RBGL. To make installation of gRbase easy, I would like to have these bioconductor packages installed in connection with installation of gRbase, but to do so the user must use setRepositories() to make sure that R also installs packages from bioconductor. Having to call setRepositories causes

Dear all, I run R CMD build --compact-vignettes="both" gRbase and/or R CMD build --compact-vignettes="gs+qpdf" gRbase and in the log from r-devel (on winbuilder) I get * checking sizes of PDF files under 'inst/doc' ... WARNING 'gs+qpdf' made some significant size reductions: compacted 'gRbase-arrays.pdf' from 421Kb to 115Kb consider

I have a .txt file obtained by saving a data frame in which the first four columns are factors (but represented as 1,2,3 etc). The first four lines are "Pig" "Evit" "Cu" "Litter" "Start" "Weight" "Feed" "Time" "4601" "1" "1" "1" 26.5 26.5 NA 1 "4601" "1"

Dear all, In the SASmixed package there is an example of an analysis of a split-plot experiment. The model is fm1Semi <- lme( resistance ~ ET * position, data = Semiconductor, random = ~ 1 | Grp) where Grp in the Semiconductor dataset is defined as ET*Wafer. Is it possible to specify the grouping directly some way, e.g. like fm1Semi <- lme( resistance ~ ET * position, data =

Dear all, One of my students have installed R1.9.0 on windows, and gets the fatal error 'invalid HOMEDRIVE' Can anyone help her/me out on that one? Thanks in advance Søren Højsgaard [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear all, I was trying to see how the function 'confint' is defined. Doing > confint function (object, parm, level = 0.95, ...) UseMethod("confint") <environment: namespace:stats> does not really enlighten me. How can I get to see the implementation (I guess it should be possible according to the general philosophy of the R project)? Thanks in advance S??ren

Dear all, One of my students (whom I am trying to convince to use R) wants to get a fairly large SAS dataset into R (about 150mB). An obvious and simple thing she tried was to write the dataset as a .csv-file and then read that into R, but that takes forever (or something close to that..). The dataset is so large, that exporting it as an Excel file from SAS is not feasible (more than 65000 lines).

Dear list # I have a function ff <- function(a,b=2,c=4){a+b+c} # which I programmatically want to modify to a more specialized function in which a is replaced by 1 ff1 <- function(b=2,c=4){1+b+c} # I do as follows: vals <- list(a=1) (expr1 <- as.expression(body(ff))) expression({ a + b + c }) (expr2 <- do.call("substitute", list(expr1[[1]], vals))) { 1 +

Hi, SAS transport files created with the xport engine in SAS can be read using read.xport. However, the xport engine only works with SAS version 6, and consequently long variable names are not allowed... Can anyone tell me how to get SAS data (ver 8) into R (easily)?

Dear all, In SAS (GLM and MIXED) estimable functions (linear functions of the parameters) can be specified in the ESTIMATE and CONTRAST statements. Has anyone written a similar "utility" for use in connection with lm?

Suppose I have f1 <- function(x) x f2 <- function(x) x^2 funlist <- list(f1,f2) Then I would like to evaluate funlist such that when x is 10 I should get a list with 10 and 100. A naive way of doint this is myf <- funlist[[1]] do.call(paste(quote(myf)), list(x=10)) myf <- funlist[[2]] do.call(paste(quote(myf)), list(x=10)) - but there has to be much

I want to create a sparse matrix of type "dgCMatrix" using the Matrix package (and the matrix must be of this type even if other more compact representations may exist). I do > library(Matrix) > m1<-Matrix(rep(1,4),nrow=2,ncol=2,sparse=T) > m1 2 x 2 sparse Matrix of class "dsCMatrix" [1,] 1 1 [2,] 1 1 To convert m1, I do > as(m1, "dgCMatrix")

In the 'doBy' package there is an esticon() function for calculating linear contrasts for various model types. I have defined an S3-method 'esticon.mer()' for 'mer' objects from the lme4 package. Building the package and invoking the method gives: > esticon(fm1, c(1,1)) Confidence interval ( WALD ) level = 0.95 Error in as.integer(x) : cannot coerce type 'S4'

Dear R users: Today (December 18th) I downloaded R1.2.0 for Windows from ftp://ftp.stat.unipd.it/users/guido/RWin and then invoked its Rgui.exe to change its gui configuration. After I set new values in Rgui configuration Editor frame and saved the set of new parameters as a "Rconsole" file, then I re-started Rgui and R issued an error message concerning the buffer-line-value in the

>From time to time people request symbolic computations beyond what D() and deriv() etc can provide. A brief look at the internet shows that there are many more or less developed computer algebra packages freely available. Therefore, I wondered if it would be an idea to try to 'integrate' one of these packages in R, which I guess can be done in more or less elegant ways... I do not know

Hi all, I had a specific question about the loading of objects into R. I apologize in advance if I have overlooked anything in the manual but as far as I can tell I have yet to find a solution to my problem. I am on a Windows platform. So what I am trying to do is have R read in a binary file on startup from the Windows system command line and startup Rgui.exe with these options without

# The result I am after is the result after a substitution in an expression, such as substitute(expression(a+b+c), list(a=1)) expression(1 + b + c) # However, the way I want to do it is for a an expression "stored as a variable" as (expr <- expression(a+b+c)) expression(a + b + c) # a) The following does not work (expr2 <- substitute(expr, list(a=1))) expr # b) - whereas this
