Dear listers, I just run R CMD check on an update of one of my packages. All seems fine but after having gone through all the Rd-file and example checking and so on, I get the following kind of errors: LaTeX errors when creating PDF version. This typically indicates Rd problems. LaTeX errors found: ! Font T1/ptm/m/n/10=ptmr8t at 10.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found . <to be read

Hi, Given some example data: dat <- seq(4, 7, by = 0.05) x <- sample(dat, 30) y <- sample(dat, 30) error <- x - y I have broken the rage of x into 10 groups and I can calculate the bias (mean(error)) for each of these 10 groups: groups <- cut(x, breaks = 10) max.bias <- aggregate(error, list(group = groups), mean) max.bias group x 1 (4,4.3] -0.7750000 2

Dear DevelopeRs Several functions in a package of mine have complex returned objects that are lists within the returned list. I wish to document each of the components of these sublists. If I do this within a \value{} section and nest \item within an existing \item, I get indented R-help sections in the standard help view (eg as shown by ?foo in Linux), but not in the PDF. For example:

Dear list, Fully according to the documented behaviour, I was bitten by apply() simplifying results to vectors or arrays when the lengths of the individual objects returns by FUN are the same (over simplification). sapply() has argument simplify with default TRUE to control whether it attempts to simplify the returned objects or not. I do find it a little annoying that one is not able to force

Dear List, I'm building an R syntax highlighting file for GeSHi [*] for a website I am currently putting together. The syntax file needs a list of keywords to highlight. How can I generate a list of all the functions in a base R installation? Ideally the list would be formatted like this: "'fun1', 'fun2', 'fun3'" when printed to the screen so I can copy

Dear List, I'm trying to typeset some chemical ions in axis labels. These have both super and subscript components, and for some, I need a superscript "-". In LaTeX I might use $NO_3^-$ to do the typesetting, but I'm having a problem getting the correct invocation for expression: > expression(NO^{-}[3]) Error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in

Dear R Developers, I was recently emailed by the CRAN maintainers about warnings for my two packages, analog and cocorresp, that are on CRAN. I have built both packages (the versions on CRAN plus

finally R 2.14 runs for me on fedora linux !!!!!! thanks to gavin, marc, jose and pierre for helping me. but especially gavin. I still have to clean things up and make install instructions so I can send it to this list. But first I need to sleep. I will send the instructions later today since that's absolutely THE LEAST i can do. I haven't gotten much sleep the last couple of days and my

Dear list, My employer uses a Windows 2000 Terminal Server-based system for its college-wide managed computer service - computers connect directly to the WTS servers for their sessions, using a Citrix ICA client. When I asked them to install R (Windows) on an older version of this service the IT guys installed it but pulled it for performance issues. I am trying to get them to try again but

Dear List, There seems to be an bug in compactPDF() or at least an inconsistency with the documented behaviour. The documentations states: Details: This by default makes use of ?qpdf?, available from <URL: http://qpdf.sourceforge.net/>, including a Windows binary. If ?gs_cmd? is non-empty, GhostScript is used. I don't have qpdf on my system so planned to use

Hi, I have a bit of a problem with a legend in png, eps and pdf plots produced from a custom plotting function. I was writing a little function to produce some stock plots for a routine analysis conducted in our lab. I have a wrapper function figures() (see below) that produces eps, png and pdf versions of the lab output. When I draw the plot on the X11() device the correct amount of space is

Hi, In a recent reply I sent to the list, my initial response was to suggest, politely that by reading the posting guide and learning to use the supplied tools one can often help oneself. I then went on to say that reading the posting guide would have led you to RSiteSearch("insert query"). Luckily I went to the posting guide to check this was there before posting and much to my

Hi there, two questions. 1) Is there any possibility to look up the help pages within R for more complex combinations of character strings, for example "Bayesian" AND "regression" but not necessarily "Bayesian regression"? 2) Is there a package/command that does fully Bayesian linear regression (if possible with variable selection)? Thanks, Christian *** --- ***

Hi there, are there any R-packages for computations required in sampling theury (such as confidence intervals under random, stratified, cluster sampling; I'd be partoculary interested in confidence intervals for the population variance, which is difficult enough to find even in books)? Thanks, Christian *** --- *** Christian Hennig University College London, Department of Statistical

Dear list, I'd like to test the null hypothesis of independence in a 2*2 contingency table in a Bayesian way. As far as I can see, this can be done by the function ctable in library LearnBayes. (More precisely, a Bayes factor can be computed.) Two questions: 1) Is there any other package/function than can be used for this in a more or less straightforward manner? 2) The ctable help page

Hi list, I'm updating my fpc package at the moment and will add some new functions. I learned that there should be print and summary methods for the key functions. The purpose of the summary methods seems to be to reduce the possibly incredibly complex information in the function's output and the print method (print.summary.foo) should print an overview of the result. But in some

Dear list, order(x,y,z) returns a permutation to order x, ties broken by y, remaining ties broken by z. (And so on.) What I'd like to do is order(X), where X is a matrix (or a list or data frame if necessary) of unspecified size, which orders X[,1], ties broken by X[,2], remaining ties broken by X[,3] and so on - without having to know and to write down how many columns X has. Any
