Dear People, I am trying to use R's Math library as standalone, as documented in /src/nmath/standalone. I am using C++ in Debian testing, and the versions are as follows: ii g++-3.0 3.0.3-1 The GNU C++ compiler. ii r-mathlib 1.4.0-1 `GNU S' - Standalone R math library I have a file (rand.cc) as follows. I don't think that lattice.hh or mh.hh are very

Dear People, After considerable effort, I managed to install gcc-3.0 on my Debian system. However, Debian keeps gcc-2.95 around as the default compiler, and gcc, g++ point to the 2.95 version. The 3.0 versions need to be explicitly invoked as gcc-3.0, g++-3.0 etc. How can I get R CMD SHLIB to invoke gcc-3.0 instead of gcc and g++-3.0 instead of g++? I would like this to be done by default but

Hi, Is there a way to check whether a file is empty in R. I did the customary searches, but did not find anything. Please cc me on any reply. Thanks, Faheem.

Hi, I'm seeing something that may be a bug in R's standalone math library, which is packaged by Debian as r-mathlib. I reported it to the Debian BTS as http://bugs.debian.org/657573 I'm using Debian squeeze, and the code was tested with r-mathlib 2.11.1-6 (default on stable) and 2.14.1-1 (from testing/unstable). I summarize this report below. The following code with the R math

Dear People, In a qqplot I am doing, I get lines/points that are very thick. I've tried setting the lwd variable to 0.1, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. Also, I have set the value of lty to dashed, but I still get dots. The command looks like qqplot(cdf.inv(seq(0,1,length=size),theta,pos,len),empmargdistvec(len,theta,pos,size), xlim=c(-theta,theta), ylim=c(-theta,theta),

Hi, Consider the following > x = c(1,2) > y = c(3,4) > d = data.frame(cbind(x,y)) > d$x [1] 1 2 > d$"x" [1] 1 2 > > foo = function(val) + { + return(d$val) + } > > bar = function() + { + return(d$"x") + } > > foo("x") NULL > bar() [1] 1 2 I'm a little surprised that R accepts both the form d$x and d$"x", but

Dear People, Consider the following fragment of R code choose <- function(n,r) { if( is.integer(n) && is.integer(r) && n > 0 && r >= 0 ) { .C("choose",as.double(n),as.double(r),comb = double(1))$comb } else stop("n must be a positive integer and r a non-negative integer.") } This is a practice function (n choose r), which I

Dear rsync people, I have just started using rsync for backups. I have had a couple of issues. Note I'm trying to use rsync as user using ssh between two machines both running Debian GNU/Linux potato (2.2r3). The local machine is currently running 2.4.6-1 and the remote 2.3.2-1.2. 1) When I run rsync with the vv option, stuff scrolls of my screen faster than I can read it. I was wondering if

Dear People, I want to run gcc with optimisation turned on (-O2), and with -Wall (all warnings) enabled, when using R CMD SHLIB. When I do make, which is R CMD SHLIB -Wall -O2 cftp.c mcmc.c latticefn.c -lm in this case, I get faheem ~/research/cftp>make R CMD SHLIB -Wall -O2 cftp.c mcmc.c latticefn.c -lm make[1]: Entering directory `/home/faheem/research/cftp' gcc -I/usr/lib/R/include

Hi, I'm getting an error from http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/ linked from http://www.r-project.org/ as follows ************************************************************************** Forbidden You don't have permission to access /R-manual/ on this server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Dear people, 1) I have a data frame with named columns.For concreteness, let us say that I created a data frame from the vectors fee, fi fo, fum by giant.df <- cbind(fee, fi, fo, fum) Now, some of the entries in fee, fi fo fum are NAs. I want to remove any row which contains a NA, thus creating a new, smaller data frame, with the same column names. This seems like something people would need

Dear R people, The header practically says it all. I was wanting to include r code in a Latex file. Since R code using{ and }, which are interpreted by Latex as control characters, I would expect it to get upset. I believe that \{ would probably print as {, but I hoping I don't have to go through the code and add lots of \. I would rather use some global commannd, along the lines of

Dear People, I am trying to include a barplot (see code below), in a latex document. However, the plot appears in totally the wrong position. I know this is not an R question as such, but the eps file is produced by R and I thought that perhaps other people had had similar problems and could give me pointers. Am I doing anything obviously wrong? Sincerely, Faheem Mitha. PS.

Dear R people, I have the following simple bit of code to make a plot. I want to suppress tick marks on the axes of the plot. I've been trying everything I can think of to do so, but have been unsuccessful. Can you help me? If you reply, please cc me, I'm not currently subscribed to the list. Thanks in advance. Sincerely, Faheem Mitha. num <- 1:i inc

Hi, Does anyone know of an R ORM (Object Relational Mapper)? I'm thinking of something similar to sqlalchemy (http://www.sqlalchemy.org/). Alternatively or additionally, can people offer suggestions about managing relational databases from R. I'm currently using postgresql, but would like a flexible solution that works across different databases, hence the enquiry about ORMs. Please

Dear People, Over the last few days I've been writing C++ to compile as a shared library (previously I have always used C). Not entirely to my surprise, I am getting errors. Specifically, when I try to load the shared library, I get Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) : unable to load shared library "/home/faheem/research/thesis/sim/ms/ms.so":

Dear People, I have been trying to perform concatenation operations on lists without success. Consider the following example. > x <- runif(2) > y <- runif(2) > z <- runif(2) > xy <- list(x,y) > xyz <- list(x,y,z) I want to have a function foo such that foo(xy,z) is the same as xyz. This appears not to be as easy as I thought, though there must be a way. For example
