Hello, I have a vector {a, b1, b2, b3, b4}. How can I calculate the following matrix: var(a) cov(a, b1) cov(a, b2) cov(a, b3) cov(a, b4) cov(a, b1) var(b1) cov(a, b2) cov(a, b3) cov(a, b4) ... ... cov(a, b1) cov(a, b2) cov(a, b3) cov(a, b4) var(b4) I would very appreciate your inputs. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Jialin Huang [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi Abby, Thanks a lot for your paraphrasing and your suggestion! The problem of wrapping the list into a S3/S4 object, i.e. subclassing array or matrix, is that one also has to define a bunch of methods for subsetting, joining, etc, in order to make it behave like a list array. The reason is that most R functions for subsetting, joining, etc. do not preserve class attributes of the input, which

Hello, I am running a simulation on an old computer with memory of 512M. I constantly received a warning of "cannot allocate a vector of ...". How can I identify the matrix causing the problem? Is there any way to fix this issue? I would very appreciate your inputs. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Jialin Huang [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear all, It seems that as.pairlist does not convert call objects, producing results like the following: > is.pairlist(as.pairlist(quote(x + y))) [1] FALSE Should this behavior be expected?

Hi everyone, I am not sure if there is an existing solution to this, but I want my S4 objects inside a list matrix showing correctly. Currently it shows as: R> str(lst[[1]]) Formal class 'Basic' [package "symengine"] with 1 slot ..@ ptr:<externalptr> R> matrix(lst, 2) [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [1,] ? ? ? ? ? [2,] ? ? ? ? ? Is it

Hi, I am using swig to build a wrapper for an c-function to use it in R. I would like to define a generic function, which gives back a void pointer. On the R side, I know what this pointer is pointing to, whether it is an integer or an string, or something else... but I need to somehow reinterpret the resulting "externalptr" into another form... a function that looks like the

Greetings. 2.15.0 added this behavior http://developer.r-project.org/blosxom.cgi/R-devel/NEWS/2012/03/29#n2012-03-29 o Passing R objects other than atomic vectors, functions, lists and environments to .C() is now deprecated and will give a warning. Most cases (especially NULL) are actually coding errors. NULL will be disallowed in future. This seems to make sense,

See R_RegisterCFinalizerEx() and set onexit to nonzero.

However, manually

Is the following expected behavior? > mkext <- inline::cfunction(language="C", body='return R_MakeExternalPtr(NULL, install("tag"), R_NilValue);') > x <- mkext() > y <- x > attr(y, "foo") <- "bar" > attributes(x) $foo [1] "bar" I would expect that modifying y's attributes should not affect x.

Hi, It seems that new("externalptr") is always returning the same instance, and not a new one as one would expect from a call to new(). Of course this is hard to observe: > new("externalptr") <pointer: (nil)> > new("externalptr") <pointer: (nil)> since not a lot of details are displayed. For example, it's easy to see that 2

Use R_RegisterFinalizerEx in your C code. See https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-exts.html#External-pointers-and-weak-references This still gives you only "best effort"; for anything stronger you would need a different approach. In general, finalizers should only be used as a backstop, not as a primary resource management tool (in R or any other garbage-collected

Hi all, I found that the finalizer of the externalPtr is not called when R is quitting. However, manually calling GC() works fine. This behavior is observed on devel R 2020-04-02 r78142 on Win and R 3.6.3 on Ubuntu. I make a reproducible package here: https://github.com/Jiefei-Wang/example Here is the detail of how to reproduce the problem, I create a temporary file in the package root path and

A generic for displaying an object in a cell would be a reasonable solution for this particular problem. However, as soon as you start treating these objects as data (like putting them into a matrix), you're likely going to want vectorized operations over them, which means formalized vector and matrix classes. S4Vectors in Bioconductor facilitates this for vectors, but not for higher-order

Hi All, I am a beginner in R, and I am planning to learn it by finishing a project. The simulation involves in multiple criteria. Specifically, it is based on Graded Response Model according to IRT. Also, it needs to generate multiple datasets which fit different levels of criteria, like multiple groups (group number=2,3,4,6,9, 12), different sample size for each group (N=250, 500, and 1000),

Hi, All: ????? What would you suggest one use to read the data on members of the US Congress and their positions on net neutrality from "https://www.battleforthenet.com/scoreboard" into R? ?????

Given an externalptr object 'pool' which protects an R object 'prot': # SEXP prot = (a dynamically updated list with handles) SEXP pool = R_MakeExternalPtr(p, R_NilValue, prot); R_RegisterCFinalizerEx(pool, fin_pool, TRUE); WRE explains that 'prot' remains in existence as long as 'pool' is around. Does this also mean 'prot' still exists when the
