Dear all, Sweave chokes when using "\\" in the path to the Rnw file. Using "/" works fine. The problem is that Eclipse+StatET uses "\\" in the filename. And example of the error, traceback and sessionInfo are given below. Best regards, Thierry > Sweave("Q:\\BMK\\cursussen\\interne_opleiding\\deelnemerslijst.Rnw", syntax="SweaveSyntaxNoweb")

Dear all, I'm trying to connect to an MSAccess database (ArcGIS personal geodatabase). I keep getting an error about the channel when using sqlQuery(). However, sqlTables() does not complain about the channel and lists all tables in the database. If I try sqlFetch(), then R crashes. I'm happy to hear suggestions on how to solve this. Best regards, Thierry > MDB <-

Hello, We use drc to fit dose-response curves, recently we discovered that there are quite different standard error values returned for the same dataset depending on the drc-version / R-version that was used (not clear which factor is important) On R 2.9.0 using drc_1.6-3 we get an IC50 of 1.27447 and a standard error on the IC50 of 0.43540 Whereas on R 2.7.0 using drc_1.4-2 the IC50 is

Dear all, We have a problem with reading some characters correctly from an UTF-16 encoded database. The code below givens the correct characters on Ubuntu with the_driver = {ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server}. On Windows (with the_driver = {SQL Server}), special characters like '?' and '?' are returned as '?'. I've added the sessionInfo() output from both machines. Any

Dear all, install.packages("lme4") fails with error Error in read.dcf(file = tmpf) : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In read.dcf(file = tmpf) : cannot open compressed file '//servername/repository_path/bin/windows/contrib/3.2/PACKAGES', probable reason 'No such file or directory' the repositories set in .Rprofile are

Dear all, A colleague of mine reported a problem that I fail to understand completely. He has a number of .csv files that look all very straightforward, and they all read in perfectly well using read.csv() on both his and my computer. When we try the exact same R version on the university server however, suddenly all numeric variables turn into factors. The problem is resolved by deleting the

Dear all, My package has Depends: lme4.0 in the DESCRIPTION. I need to extract the fixed effect of a model and their standard errors. I use coef(summary(model)) inside a function to do that. Model is the output of a call to glmer() from the lme4.0 package. coef(summary(model)) throws an error: $ operator is invalid for atomic vectors I have tracked it down to a problem with summary(model)

Dear all, predict.lme() throws an error when the fixed part consists of only an intercept and using newdata. See the reproducible example below. I've tracked the error down to asOneFormula() which returns in this case NULL instead of a formula. Changing NULL instead of ~1 in that function (see below) solves the problem in the case of an intercept only model (m1). It does not solve the problem

Hi, Back in June I posted the message below, but had no replies. I've made a little progress since then so this is to update anyone interested (!) and to ask for comments. Brief problem statement: Under Windows, some parts of R don't handle UNC paths beginning with backslashes. Specifically a) Sys.glob() fails to find some files breaking (e.g.) Rcmdr plugins

Hi- I just upgraded R to 3.0.0 from 2.15.1 (which worked fine). When I started trying to install updated versions of the libraries, I saw the following error: > install.packages("lme4") Installing package into 'c:/Docume~1/melissa/R/win-library/3.0' (as 'lib' is unspecified) Warning in install.packages :

Hi all, I have just installed R 2.13.0 and I am experiencing problems with the terminal, but not the with the GUI interface. I am Windows 7. When running "R" or "Rterm" from a commandline I receive the following: Warning message: In normalizePath(path.expand(path), winslash, mustWork) : path[3]="C:/Programmer/R/R-2.13.0/library": Adgang n?gtet R version 2.13.0

Hi, I'm currently taking a look at possibilities to report my results, produced by R. After looking at LaTex, I'm now considering the odf format, as most people at my company work with MS Word. So using odfWeave would be my best bet probably. But if I run some examples from the odfWeave package, I cant open the output in Open Office: demoFile <- system.file("examples",

Dear all, I was playing around with factor contrasts, and found the argument nmax on function factor. When using nmax=1, R froze completely, and I had to close it from task manager. After some debugging, I found that the problem is actually in unique-function, where the internal unique function is called: .Internal(unique(x, incomparables, fromLast, nmax)) More generally, it looks like

I'm having an issue with occasionally slow-running calls to normalizePath. If the path is a non-existent UNC path, then normalizePath sometimes takes 6 or 7 seconds to run, rather than its usual few microseconds. My big problem is that I can't reliably reproduce this across machines. The example below generates one or two slow runs out of 10000 on my Windows machine. I haven't been

Hi all, I saw a quite surprising result in the devel R when using the function *normalizePath*. If the input is a path to a folder, the function returns an absolute path with/without a slash at the end depending on the existence of the folder. I know both results are valid on Windows but this behavior is different than R3.6, I do not know if the change in the devel version is made on purpose.

Dear R Developers, I am having an issue with the renv package and R 4.0.1, which I suspect is related to base R and not the renv package itself, as with R 3.6.3 such an "error" does not appear. The error is raised by a file.exists() path, and path "C:\Users\J-tel\Documents", which in R 3.6.3 is read correctly, but in R 4.0.1 fails (Probably because of the "-"

Has anyone had success with producing legends to a qplot graph such that the legend is placed on the bottom, under the abcissa rather than to the right hand side ? The following doesn't move the legend: library(ggplot2) qplot(mpg, wt, data=mtcars, colour=cyl, gpar(legend.position="bottom") ) I am using ggplot2_0.8.2. Thanks in advance, Avram
