Ah, I spoke too soon. I started putting the demo code into a test suite and ran one check with valgrind and ? sure enough ? there's def more issues (a cpl functions) than the overt/easy ones (and, I went back to the check results page and, also sure enough, they're there, too). They look to be fairly straightforward to resolve but it's going to take a bit longer than "this

Or, a crazy person (me) cld volunteer to keep this running and get it back on CRAN. I fixed the severe warning and also added C-side registration code. The pkg is monolithic but the C code is super straightforward (a is the R code). Unless someone can think of a reason not to, I can submit this to CRAN this week and get the source up on social coding sites. It looks like Jerome Braun did this

Dear R-people Does someone have a routine to ngenerate inverse-gaussian random numbers. I am thinking of something similar to rinvgauss, pinvgauss etc. in S-plus. best regards Helgi -- Helgi Tomasson FAX: 354-552-6806 University of Iceland PHONE:354-525-4571 Faculty of Economics and Business Administration

Dear list, I would like to suggest a small update the ?Distributions man page of the stats package. The current version contains the following line. The CRAN package \pkg{SuppDists} for additional distributions. I think it would be better to put in this man page a link to the CRAN task view on Distributions http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/Distributions.html. It is not true that the

Hi Peter and others, If it helps, I wrote a small function glm.scoretest() for the statmod package on CRAN to compute score tests from glm fits. The score test for adding a covariate, or any set of covariates, can be extracted very neatly from the standard glm output, although you probably already know that.

cor.test and SuppDists give me different P-values for the same Spearman's rho. Which is correct, or am I doing something wrong? > x <- c(44.4, 45.9, 41.9, 53.3, 44.7, 44.1, 50.7, 45.2, 60.1) > y <- c( 2.6, 3.1, 2.5, 5.0, 3.6, 4.0, 5.2, 2.8, 3.8) > cor.test(x,y,method="spearman") Spearman's rank correlation rho data: x and y S = 48, p-value =

Hi: I was wondering why Marsaglia's new ziggurat method for generating deviates from the standard normal distribution has not been implemented in the R base package. I know that it is available in SuppDists pacakage of Bob Wheeler, as "rziggurat". According my timing tests, it is about 6 to 7 times faster (on a Pentium 2.4 MHz) machine than the default Inversion method used in

Hi, I used the commands below to make Hartley's table, but some values are NA. require(SuppDists) trat = seq(2, 15, 1) gl = seq(2, 40, 1) har = matrix(0, nr=length(gl), nc=length(trat)) for(i in 1:length(gl)) for(j in 1:length(trat)) har[i,j] <- qmaxFratio(.95, df=gl[i], k=trat[j]) rownames(har) <- gl colnames(har) <- trat head(har) The output (head): 2

Hi All, I've just rebuild the latest R with the Goto BLAS on our new Intel quad core machines. I did a few basic matrix calculations, and I was very impressed by the performance I saw. I wonder if anyone has a more rigorous benchmarking program for R. I downloaded a old R test/benchmarking program (see below), and this didn't work with the current R, and so I wondered if anyone could

Hi, I need Beta binomial and Beta negative binomial functions but in R there is only SuppDists package which provide this distributions using a limited parameter space of the generalized hypergeometric distribution (dghyper & Co.) which provide a limited parameter space for Beta binomial and Beta negative binomial functions (e.g. alpha + beta <1 in the Beta negative binomial). I've

Dear Catarina, I prefer to leave the AIC value as NA for the tweedie GLM family because it takes extra time to compute and is only occasionally wanted. It's easy to compute the AIC yourself using the dtweedie() function of the tweedie package.

I am trying to follow directions at http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-patched/R-exts.html#Suggested-packages regarding handling suggested packages with requireNamespace() rather than require(), and I have some questions. 1/ When I do requireNamespace() in a function is the loading of the namespace only effective within the function? 2/ At the link above in the manual it says "Note
