similar to: Searching R Packages

Dear Spencer, Nice initiative! I discover a lot of packages not by explicit search, but by running into them. I find cranberries really helpful there, especially the twitter feed (@CRANberries) and also r-bloggers, especially through Joseph Rickert's monthly roundup of new packages. And then of course there is the R journal and JSS, but those speak for themselves. So maybe a 'keeping up

Hi Spencer, Thank you for this wonderful service to the R community. A suggestion: it would be great to discuss how to search github and Bioconductor repositories.

Hello, All: Might you have time to review the article I recently posted to Wikiversity on "Searching R Packages" (https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Searching_R_Packages)? Please edit this yourself or propose changes in the associated "Discuss" page or in an email to this list or to me. My goal in this is to invite readers to turn that article into a proposal

I think that even though some Microsoft employees may have good intentions Microsoft as a company can not be trusted. There will be always a danger that they will try to create their own version of R which works only on Windows and that will become increasingly divergent from "other" R. We witnessed such (cursed in my opinion) attempts with their treatment of Java and Internet Explorer.

Hello, All: ????? I just posted a "Draft Proposal for improving the ability of R users to search R packages" to Wikiversity (https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Draft_Proposal_for_improving_the_ability_of_R_users_to_search_R_packages). ????? You are all invited to rewrite it in any way you think is more likely to produce the most useful result.? Wikimedia invites contributors to

????? I concur with Moshe.? David and his team have done great thing for R, but a lion will not become a vegetarian.? I think that any reasonable reading of Microsoft's history will supports that perspective.? However, this is a fairly well documented phenomenon far beyond Microsoft.? Jean Tirole won the 2014 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics for establishing that, especially regarding

Hi All, I was looking for a function to find a small matrix inside a larger matrix in R similar to the one described in the following link: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/194708-index-a-small-matrix-in-a-larger-matrix I couldn't find anything. The above function can be seen as a "generalisation" of the "which" function as well as the function described

Hello, All: What facilities exist for plots and tables of data in the standard MediaWiki software beyond the obvious standards? The standard MediaWiki tables and graphics capabilities seem to me to be rather clumsy, and I wonder if I'm missing some available extensions? The standard MediaWiki tables are described in a Wikipedia article on "Help:Table".

I take Duncan's point but would second the motion to have WRE clarify how static vignettes are supposed to work; it's a topic I am repeatedly confused about despite being an experienced package maintainer.

Dear Debian People: Is there a way to run a little script (on Ubuntu Manic Meerkat) every hour, please? I know that this is more of a LINUX/UNIX question rather than an R question. Sorry.

I am trying to read a tab-delimited 1.25 GB file of 4,115,119 records each with 52 fields. I am using R 2.11.0 on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine with 8 GB memory. I have tried the two following statements with the same results: d <- read.delim(filename, as.is=TRUE) d <- read.delim(filename, as.is=TRUE, nrows=4200000) I have tried starting R with this parameter but that changed

So I recently installed an Overland Arcvault 12 tape library on a server to back up /var/log/ and /home. The server is an out-of-box RHEL 5 install, with all packages selected, in an isolated lan, with no package updates. Also, this is a live server that cannot be brought down for backups, and some files may be actively in use during the dump - just gotta live with it. Since I know EL5 and

Hi, All: ????? How can I get the names of all the arguments in dots(...)? ????? I'm able to get the name of the first argument but not the second: deparseDots <- function(...){ ? deparse(substitute(...)) } a <- 1 b <- 2 deparseDots(a, b) [1] "a" ????? I'd like to get c('a', 'b'). ????? Thanks, ????? Spencer Graves > sessionInfo() R

The cran2deb archives target testing. I just pulled a package from them onto a stable system; the library loaded but said > library(akima) Warning message: package 'akima' was built under R version 2.10.0 Are this and other packages likely to work correctly with different R's (2.7 in the case of stable)? How well are they likely to work with a backported R? The R version would

I am currently testing an Overland Tape storage unit with a LTO-3 drive on CentOS 4.4. After a random amount of time but usually when we have backed up about 0.5-1TB we get scsi errors which cause the backup to fail. I have rebuilt the box with Solaris 10 x86 and Windoze to prove the hardware and have successfully backed up over 3TB on each OS without error. Can anyone offer advice on how to find
