Don't do anything yet. I may have found the problem by accident. I tried to use the computer from something else, and it was being drastically slowed down by some leftover processes, which turned out to be xlhtml. That is something that converts Excel files. Apparently, some excel files got into the libraries, and they were causing the indexing to hang completely. I am now running everything

Spencer, Thanks for the quick reply. I am open to someone who knows Perl getting an account on my site and trying to get it working. It will probably involve fixing more than one thing, as mknmz depends on some perl modules that also generate errors. My main contribution is figuring out how to extract the html help files and vignettes only, with some help from R developers and Fedora

OK. It is sort of fixed and sort of works. We'll keep it for now, but this is not going to work forever. When namazu fails completely I will not have the time to install a new search engine. One option is to use google. For a site like this, I think they will want some money, but I'm not sure, and I do not have the time to deal with it. We have over 10,000 packages now. I wonder if

Unfortunately, I am unable to get this search site working again. (The message below explains why I had to rebuild it.) The computer worked for the better part of a day downloading and installing all the help files from all CRAN packages. Somehow it failed to get the vignettes this time. But I pushed ahead and ran the part of namazu that makes the search indices: mknmz. And you can see the

I looked at rdocumentation.org. At first I thought it was a superior replacement for namazu, but after I tried a few things I decided that it wasn't. I could not find any documentation about how to search, and the various things I tried seemed to yield very strange responses, e.g., a search for "Hayes mediation bootstrap" gave me mostly functions that had nothing to do with the

Hi, Jonathan: Thanks for letting us know. I can't imagine that the unavailability of RSiteSearch would be more than an inconvenience. When you get time, I'd like to know more about what you know about how it was hacked, the host operating system, any anti-virus / Internet protection software that failed and anything you think might reduce the risk of a repeat in the

Would it make sense to recreate the "searchable R help pages" by feeding them all into elasticsearch, which will automatically index them and also provides an extensive (HTTP+JSON-based) API to perform complex searches?

Can someone in R Core please take a look at the attached patches to RSiteSearch() and its help page? I guess Jon is planning some changes on his site. Jon: could you elaborate on what the patch does?

Is there a way to get a reference list of journal articles that have used R? I am just looking for some examples of R graphs and presentation of results where R was used to generate the results. Thanks for any feedback and insights.

Hi while teaching R, the question came up if it would be possible to add a picture (saved on the HDD) to a graph (generated by plot()), which we could not answer. It might easily kill a clean graph, but: is there a way of doing this, even one should not do it? On a similar line of thought: is it possibe to define own symbols so that they can be used in the plot function with pch=? Rainer

Dear all, I could not draw a forest plot for meta-analysis under ramdon models using the rmeta package. The rmeta has a default function for MH (fixed-effect) model. Has the rmeta package been updated for such a function? Or someone revised it and kept a private code? I would appreciate it if you could provide some information on this question. Thanks, Andrew This email is intended

Hi, This is not an R question, but I've seen opinions given on non R topics, so I wanted to give it a try. :) How would one treat a variable that was measured once, but is known to fluctuate a lot? For example, I want to include a hormone in my regression as an explanatory variable. However, this hormone varies in its levels throughout a day. Nevertheless, its levels differ substantially

Hello - I cannot get to www.alpha.luc.ac.be/~jlindsey/rcode.html<http://www.alpha.luc.ac.be/%7Ejlindsey/rcode.html>to obtain and install the repeated library for use of glmm(). Is the web page not active? Can you give me an alternative location to obtain the repeated library? Thank you, Becky Parker [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear list, Many people seem unhappy with the new documentation server because you need to have R running to access it, and it's not immediately obvious how to bookmark references so they work long-term. One solution to this problem is to have a globally available website that provides access to all package documentation. I'm happy to have a go at developing this, but I need some money to

Hi everyone, I want to do test on moderating effect. I have three factors, A, B, and C. A has influence on B, and C moderating the influence. The relationship looks like this: A -----> B ^ | C A, B, and C are all scale variables. I think I can test the moderating effect by adding a interactive variable between A and C. But I'm not sure how to do. Is there a default way to
