In Section 'Indexing by vectors' of 'R Language Definition' (http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-lang.html#Indexing-by-vectors) it says: "Integer. All elements of i must have the same sign. If they are positive, the elements of x with those index numbers are selected. If i contains negative elements, all elements except those indicated are selected. If i is

Is there a missing value constant defined for R_xlen_t, cf. NA_INTEGER (== R_NaInt == INT_MIN) for int(eger)? If not, is it correct to assume that missing values should be taken care/tested for before coercing from int or double? Thank you, Henrik

In R-devel (2015-08-12 r69024), capture.output() incorrectly duplicates the last line unless it ends with a newline. I don't see this in R 3.2.2 RC (2015-08-13 r69049). It seems to have started fairily recently; I spotted this yesterday after starting to get errors in my R.utils check that use capture.output(), cf.

Aaaah ... and argh - I should have better not to post R question at midnight, especially when I know it forks the process and it's not using threads. Brain meltdown. (So, we'll proceed trying to use pthreads in matrixStats also for Windows). Sorry for the noise and thanks Kasper.

I'm observing that base::sum(x, na.rm=FALSE) for typeof(x) == "double" is much more time consuming when there are missing values versus when there are not. I'm observing this on both Window and Linux, but it's quite surprising to me. Currently, my main suspect is settings in on how R was built. The second suspect is my brain. I hope that someone can clarify the below

On Windows there are a few 'pthreads' implementation, e.g. pthreads-w32 and winpthreads [https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-devel/R-exts.html#Using-pthreads]. We're thinking of giving them a try for the matrixStats package, and basic tests indicates it works, but since Windows pthreads are not used by core R (or?) I've got a little bit worried that we will face overwhelming

Hi, str() on raster objects fails for certain dimensions. For example: > str(as.raster(0, nrow=1, ncol=100)) 'raster' chr [1, 1:100] "#000000" "#000000" "#000000" "#000000" ... > str(as.raster(0, nrow=1, ncol=101)) Error in `[.raster`(object, seq_len(max.len)) : subscript out of bounds This seems to do with how str() and

Hi, SETUP: Consider three packages PkgA, PkgB and PkgC. PkgA defines a generic function foo() and exports it; export(foo) PkgB imports PkgA::foo() and re-exports it; importFrom(PkgA, foo) export(foo) PkgC imports everything from PkgA and PkgB: imports(PkgA, PkgB) PROBLEM: Loading or attaching the namespace of PkgC will generate a warning: replacing previous import by

It would be possible, but I think "entirely" wrong. .subset() is documented to be an internal function not to be used "lightly" and more to the point it is documented to *NOT*

I'd like to follow up on this one. It may be that I have misunderstood something, but on both R devel (2012-02-22 r58452) and R 2.14.1 patched (2012-02-18 r58394) I can't seem to avoid loading ~/.Rprofile when I run 'R CMD <cmd>', e.g. R CMD build. For me, the loading of ~/.Rprofile by 'R CMD' started a few weeks ago, and I haven't seen it before. More details

Hi, is it possible to have non-Sweave vignettes(*) in inst/doc/ be listed under 'Downloads' on CRAN package pages? For instance, in my R.rsp package I have a inst/doc/report.pdf (part of the source *.tar.gz) that is not detected/listed. The PDF is not based on a Sweave vignette but an *.tex.rsp vignette that is dynamically created via inst/doc/Makefile. It is listed (*) BTW, can the

Does it make sense to talk about the class of the output of substitute(...)? I'm puzzled by the following outputs: ee <- list( A = substitute( a <- 1 ), B = substitute({ a <- 1 }), C = substitute(( a <- 1 )), D = substitute( a == 1 ) ) > t(sapply(ee, FUN=function(e) { c(typeof=typeof(e), mode=mode(e), class=class(e)) })) typeof mode class A

Hi, I'd like to spawn of a new R process from within R using system(), e.g. system("R -f myScript.R"). However, just specifying "R" as in that example is not guaranteed to work, because "R" may not be on the OS's search path. What is the best way, from within a running R, to infer the command (basename or full path) for launching R in way that it works on

Hi, exists("foo", inherits=TRUE) check whether an object named "foo" exists, and get("foo", inherits=TRUE) retrieves it. I'm looking for a similar function to exists() that returns the environment where the object "foo" exists, iff at all. If not found, NULL is returned. Does that exist? EXAMPLE #1: > sample2 <- base::sample > env <-

This may have been asked before, but is there an elegant way to check whether an variable/argument passed to a function is a "parse tree" for an (unevaluated) expression or not, *without* evaluating it if not? Currently, I do various rather ad hoc eval()+substitute() tricks for this that most likely only work under certain circumstances. Ideally, I'm looking for a isParseTree()

Hi, I'm try to collect a list of methods/packages available in R for doing in-string variable/symbol substitution, e.g. someFcn("pi=${pi}"), anotherFcn("pi=@pi@") and so on becomes "pi=3.141593". I am aware of the following: ** gsubfn() in the 'gsubfn' package, e.g. > gsubfn( , , "pi = $pi, 2pi = `2*pi`") [1] "pi = 3.14159265358979,
