Dear all, Have you experienced problem of using numerical.summary() function? I used to be able to run this function in R, but not any more. Now I try to use this function, it gives me error like this: Error: could not find function "numerical.summary" I used to be able to run this function under library(s20x). Can someone please guide me on this ? Thanks. Rene

It may be possible to create an R-like programming language that transcompiles into R code (or otherwise constructs R objects and calls R functions). I'm not sure whether it would pass R check or not, I will probably try... But the bigger question is: Should CRAN accept packages written in such a way? I could email Kurt Hornik or Uwe Ligges, and ask them. However, I thought that I would ask

Hello, I've assembled a Multivariate ctv (with a lot of help from Achim Zeleis, who has now posted the view on CRAN). I'd be grateful for comments regarding missing packages / functions. Opinions on the organisation of the view would also be appreciated, as well as having any errors pointed out. I've adopted a rather broad and vague definition of "multivariate", which may

Hello to everyone! I have built CRAN task view for genetics. For now I have not submit it to CRAN yet and it can be accessible from: http://www.bfro.uni-lj.si/MR/ggorjan/software/R/Genetics.html http://www.bfro.uni-lj.si/MR/ggorjan/software/R/Genetics.ctv I have not submitted it to CRAN, since I would like first some opinion about it. Genetics is really so broad field that I belive one person

I'm in the middle of a long overdue package update, and after seeing the CRAN Task Views I thought there would be an entry, in the DESCRIPTIONS file, for that entry that appears on the package webpage. For example, http://cran.case.edu/web/packages/vegan/index.html Since it's been some time since I've updated the package, I did a little reading (R-exts.pdf) and web searching and

An IDE (or other user interface) should not alter the behavior of R, especially the installing/loading/attaching of packages. There are some possible exceptions: (1) The global option for width. (2) Output that would

Honestly, I don't see the motivation for this. There are many similar projects that are mature, so my feedback would be: don't reinvent the wheel and contribute to those.

Dear All, Martin Maechler has asked me to send this to R-devel for discussion after I submitted it as an enhancement request ( https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17563). At this time, the update.formula() method always performs a number of transformations on the results, eliminating redundant variables and reordering interactions to be after the main effects. This is not always

I don't think anyone denies that you *could* make an EXE to do all that. The discussion is on *how easy* it should be to create a single file that contains an initial "main" function plus a set of bundled code (potentially as a package) and which when run will install its package code (which is contained in itself, its not in a repo), install dependencies, and run the main()

I see some value in Duncan?s proposal to implement this as an extra package instead of a change to base R, if only to see if the idea has legs. I?m minded to do so myself using your suggestion, but is there a particular reason why you recommend using the remotes package instead of devtools? The latter seems to have the same functions I would need, and I believe it is more widely installed that

In principle a good idea, but I'm not sure the whereabouts of Catherine Loader are known at this point.

CRAN task views are useful, but they seem difficult to write and maintain because the XML format is rather limited (no sectioning) and the <packagelist> must be maintained manually. They are also difficult to read because the generated html and .css used are extremely basic, giving an overly dense page. Are there any markdown-like tools for writing a CTV? Is it possible to apply a

Dear developeRs, in the last month I mentioned in several discussions on R-help that Kurt and I were working on tools for "CRAN Task Views" which should help to structure the fast-growing list of packages on CRAN. Now the first version of a package called ctv (for CRAN Task Views) is available from CRAN and also two frist drafts for such views can be seen at
