similar to: R CMD check: Locale not set to C?

This is a continuation of the R-devel thread with subject "suggestion to fix packageDescription() for Windows users" : As I said there, a patch should rather address the underlying problem in packageDescription rather than a kludgy workaround patch for citation(). (For that same reason, Ben Marwick proposed to fix packageDescription() rather than the symptom seen in citation().)

Dear All, to my surprise as.factor does not accept a levels argument. Maybe I did not read the documentation well enough. See the example below. I wanted to use ch1 as factor in the newdata argument of survfit, so I assumed that I could write as.factor(ch1, levels=ch1), since the order should be kept. But as.factor(ch1, levels=ch1) results in the error: Error in as.factor(ch1, levels = ch1)

Dear R users & developers, I coming across the following issue since R 2.15.2 32-bit (running on Windows XP 32.bit; some output left out for conciseness): > setInternet2(TRUE) > require(rJava) > .jinit() > getCRANmirrors() > system("ls" , intern = TRUE) Error in system("ls", intern = TRUE) : CreateThread failed My details are as follows: >

Dear All, since years I am struggling with Surv objects in data.frames. The following seems to have to do with it. See below the modified example from the help page of survSplit. The original works, as expected. If, however, a Surv object is added to the data.frame, each record gets doubled. Is there some solution other than avoiding Surv objects in data.frames? Thanks, Heinz

Hi all, I believe there is an issue with passing NULL to the function I(). class(NULL) # "NULL" (as expected) print(NULL) # NULL (as expected) is.null(NULL) # TRUE (as expected) According to the documentation I() should return a copy of its input with class "AsIs" preprended: class(I(NULL)) # "AsIs" (as expected) print(I(NULL)) # list() (not expected!

Dear All, reposting, because I did not find a solution, maybe someone could check the example below. It's taken from the help page of survdiff. Executing it, gives the error "Error in floor(temp) : Non-numeric argument to mathematical function" best regards, Heinz library(survival) ## Example from help page of survdiff ## Expected survival for heart transplant patients based

If not, which version of it works with which version of R and where can it be found? I tried several at the archive already. sessionInfo() R version 3.4.2 Patched (2017-10-04 r73465) Platform:

Hi all, The documentation for head() and tail() describes the behavior of these generic functions when n is strictly positive (n > 0) and strictly negative (n < 0). How these functions work when given a zero value is not defined. Both GNU command-line utilities head and tail behave differently with +0 and -0: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/head.1.html

The issue is fAsianOptions. Is there a version that works with the latest version of R? If not, which version of it works with which version of R and where can it be found? I tried several at the archive already. Alternatively, is there another package that behaves similarly to prob?

Yes. That's the version I've been discussing that has non-zero exit status. That situation is why CRAN retired the prob package. It's possible you installed that library earlier in development and it's been "carried" along. It no longer installs, now. The problems with all of this seem to have started this month according to the conversations. However, no one has

Yes, that is exactly what I was doing two days ago. Warning in install.packages : installation of package ?fAsianOptions_3010.79.tar.gz? had non-zero exit status Which is what a reading of the explanation for why "prob" was retired leads one to expect. Do you have some other suggestion about how to get it to work? I notice you're not using Windows which might have a relationship

Hi, I'm currently working on evalutating a AD-Domain for my Department. Since I have a couple of year experince in running a NT-Style Domain, my choice is samba - nowadays AD-DS. Now I'm stuck, and I would really appreciate some more thoughts and a push in the right direction. :-) Thank your in advance Franz The facts: A quick test installation is working as expected - Debian Jessie,

In addition, signed zeroes only exist for floating point numbers - the bit patterns for as.integer(0) and as.integer(-0) are identical.

Rtools is not available for the current version of R. What I'm looking for is an alternative package or how others have managed to create workarounds.

Hi, I run a script file by dropping it on a windows batch file that runs R in --slave modus. In a subfunction there is the call to file.choose(). The problem is, that the dialog does show only folders but no files at all. It's quite strange: a) without --slave modus the files are shown, b) when I copy the whole script file in a different file it was also ok, but when I renamed the script, the
