similar to: authorship and citation

As a fourth option, I wonder if the first author could fork the package? Presumably, appropriately cited, a fork is permitted by the license under which it was released. Then the original package, by both authors, still exists (and a final version could point to the new one) and the new package, citing the previous version appropriately, is by a single author.

Simply advice: The former co-author contributed, so he is still author and probably copyright holder and has to be listed among the authors, otherwise it would be a CRAN policy violation since even if he does not develop further on, he developed parts of the so far existing package (if you talk about a CRAN package). I am not a lawyer, hence I cannot speak for copyright/license stuff in

Hi everyone, I'm involved in a discussion with a colleague. He suggested a sample design for a finite-sized process that (to all intents and purposes) involves tossing a coin and examining the unit if the coin shows Heads. I should emphasize that we're both approaching the problem from a design-based sampling theory point of view. So I have no argument about the appropriateness of the

It's a bit of a philosophical question right now, but at some point in a developing package's life - particularly one that starts small but is subsequently refactored in growth - there may be no code

Hadley, With all due respect, I'm not sure what exactly your deliniation between author and contributor is, but from what I can tell I don't agree with it. >From the blogpost regarding your new purrr package: "Purrr wouldn?t be possible without Lionel Henry <https://github.com/lionel->. He wrote a lot of the package and his insightful comments ..." And yet he is

An example from the sos package: Its DESCRIPTION file says Author: Spencer Graves, Sundar Dorai-Raj, and Romain Francois. However, the package includes a findFn function, whose help file includes an Author(s) section, which reads, "Spencer Graves, Sundar Dorai-Raj, Romain Francois. Duncan Murdoch suggested the "???" alias for "findFn" and contributed the code for

There's overlap but they are not the same thing. You can see whether someone is a copyright holder by referring to the license you had and whether there is any of their content remaining. But that might not

Dear all, I new to r and I would like your help. I want to explore the patterns (unimodal, monotonically increased/decreased) of species richness~altitude using GAM in R. Although I run the gam function in mgcv package I do not know how to manually define knots and degrees of freedom. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Spyros -- View this message in context:

I am wondering how to obtain the model/equation at each level automatically in a regression model with a few factors without looking at summary of the lm model. For example, consider lm.factors <- lm(y ~ x1 + factor(x2)*factor(x3)+x4*factor(x5)) The coefficients of lm.factors in summary(lm.factors) might be complicated. I would like to have the equation at each level from lm.factor. Could you
