Yesterday I uploaded new rockchalk_1.8.97. Then I received email saying that I needed to confirm the submission. Here's the message. Dear Paul E. Johnson Someone has submitted the package rockchalk to CRAN. You are receiving this email to confirm the submission as the maintainer of this package. To confirm the submission to CRAN, follow or copy & paste the following link into your

I'm writing to ask if R Core would make file.exists more Windows tolerant when the argument has a trailing slash. This has been discussed by users a few times here, I know it is not a new topic. But it is not a solved problem, yet. I acknowledge that CRAN packages exist which fix this by replacing file.exists(), but it seems more elegant to me to fix the problem in R itself. R Core goes to

In the rockchalk package, I want to provide functions for regression objects that are "well behaved." If an object responds to the methods that lm or glm objects can handle, like coef(), nobs(), and summary(), I want to be able to handle the same thing. It is more difficult than expected to ask a given fitted model object "do you respond to these functions: coef(), nobs(),

I'm writing to ask for a policy exception, or advice on how to make this package CRAN allowable. http://rweb.quant.ku.edu/kran/src/contrib/portableParallelSeeds_0.9.tar.gz Yesterday I tried to submit a package on CRAN and Dr Ripley pointed out that I had not understood the instructions about packages. Here's the part where the R check gives a Note * checking R code for possible

Dear R-devel: The Cluster administrators at KU got enthusiastic about testing R-3.2.2 with Intel MKL when I asked for some BLAS integration. Below I forward a performance report, which is encouraging, and thought you would like to know the numbers. Appears to my untrained eye there are some extraordinary speedups on Cholesky decomposition, determinants, and matrix inversion. They had

Greetings. I'm trying to understand a problem on a Dell Laptop. Details below, also uploaded the R working example that I pasted below. http://pj.freefaculty.org/scraps/testSymbols.R > sessionInfo() R version 2.15.1 (2012-06-22) Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) locale: [1] LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=C [3] LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8 [5]

Here's my little discussion example for a quadratic regression: http://pj.freefaculty.org/R/WorkingExamples/regression-quadratic-1.R Students press me to know the benefits of poly() over the more obvious regression formulas. I think I understand the theory on why poly() should be more numerically stable, but I'm having trouble writing down an example that proves the benefit of this. I

I'm attaching a file foo.Rnw and I'm hoping some of you might run it through your R & latex systems to find out if the double-quotes in typewriter font turn out as black boxes (as they do for me). If you don't use Sweave, but you have a system with a working version of R and LaTeX, the file gives the instructions you need to use to process the file. The The file itself explains

I want to write an R help example that throws up 2 graphs in separate windows, for comparison. In Linux I plot one, then run x11() to spawn a new on-screen device. Is there some generic equivalent so I can write an example that will work for Windows and Mac users as well? If there is none, don't you think it would be fun if there were? pj -- Paul E.

I'm making some illustrations and it would be convenient to automatically shade the overlapping portions of circles. These illustrations are for Social Choice theory, a field in political science and economics. I've wrestled together some examples so you can see what I mean, but have not mastered the "color overlapping sections" problem (as you will see):

I'm looking for an R mentor. I want to propose a change in management of plot options xlim and ylim. Did you ever want to change one coordinate in xlim or ylim? It happens to me all the time. x <- rnorm(100, m=5, s=1) y <- rnorm(100, m=6, s=1) plot(x,y) ## Oh, I want the "y axis" to show above x=0. plot(x,y, xlim=c(0, )) ##Output: Error in c(0, ) : argument 2 is empty

This is a basic Windows system administrator problem, asked by a Linux guy who is helping out in a Windows lab. I want to keep R packages up to date on MS Windows 7 with a job in the "Task Scheduler". I have an R program that I can run (as administrator) that updates the existing packages and then installs all the new ones. I do not understand how to run that in a dependable way in

Hello R-sig-debian and (hopefully) Dirk: On Debian wheezy, I have the R packaging that CRAN (you) provide. I run into a little trouble while trying to fiddle with alternative BLAS. I know you and I went around on this last year and I think perhaps I've found something wrong in the framework, or I've just done something wrong. I installed the packages openblas-base and openblas-dev, and

Dear R Devel Some of our R users are still insisting we run R-2.15.3 because of difficulties with a package called OpenMX. It can't cooperate with new R, oh well. Other users need to run R-3.0.1. I'm looking for the most direct route to install both, and allow users to choose at runtime. In the cluster, things run faster if I install RPMs to each node, rather than putting R itself on

Last week one of our clients reported trouble with a csv file I generated with write.table. He said that columns with quotes for character variables were rejected by their data importer, which was revised to match the way Microsoft Excel uses quotation marks in character variables. I explained to them that quoted character variables are virtuous and wise, of course, but they say Microsoft Excel

On a cluster that is based on RedHat 6.2, we are updating to R-3.3.1. I have, from time to time, run into problems with various R packages and some older versions of GCC. I wish we had newer Linux in the cluster, but with 1000s of nodes running 1000s of jobs, well, they don't want a restart. Administrator suggested I try to build with the GCC that is provided with the nodes, which is

Hi all , I have following script to plot some data. plot( c(1,1100), c(0,15), type='n', xlab='', ylab='', ylim=c(0.1,25) , las=2) axis (1, at = seq(0,1100,50), las =2) axis (2, at = seq(0,25,1), las =2) lines( c(1,304),c(0,0),col='grey', lwd=3 ) lines( c(1,238),c(1,1),col='grey', lwd=3 ) segments(86, 0 ,270,col = "green", pch=23,

Helo everybody, I'm new to R and have some issues with my data in R.

I have been making simple functions to display regressions in a new package called "rockchalk". For 3d illustrations, my functions use persp, and I've grown to like working with it. As an example of the kind of things I like to do, you might consult my lecture on multicollinearity, which is by far the most detailed illustration I've prepared.
