Hi Ralf, I tried the following > install.packages("RCurl") which went OK, but then same story when I tried to install tseries. > sessionInfo() R version 3.6.1 (2019-07-05) Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) Running under: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) Matrix products: default BLAS: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/blas/libblas.so.3.8.0 LAPACK:

I don't have my debian box available so can't confirm.

I have not been successfull in downloading tseries package in the R in my macbook air. The message sent is:Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : imposs?vel carregar objeto compartilhado '/Library/Frameworks/ Do you have any clue?

Dear All, I am far from being a guru about parallel programming. Most of the time, I rely or randomForest for data mining large datasets. I would like to give a try also to the gradient boosted methods in GBM, but I have a need for parallelization. I normally rely on gbm.fit for speed reasons, and I usually call it this way gbm_model <- gbm.fit(trainRF,prices_train, offset = NULL, misc =

Dear All, Probably a one liner, but I am banging my head against the floor. Consider the following DF <- data.frame( x=1:10, y=10:1, z=rep(5,10), a=11:20 ) mn<-names(DF) but then I cannot retrieve a column by doing e.g, DF$mn[2] I tried to play with the quotes and so on, but so far with no avail. Any suggestion is welcome. Cheers Lorenzo

Dear R devels Yesterday I was slightly surprised to notice that R incorrectly detected some of the locale settings. I am not sure whether this is important, but I preferred to drop a message. In the R output below, some entries that should have been "en_GB.UTF-8" are presented as "C". Regards Liviu > sessionInfo() R version 2.9.1 (2009-06-26) x86_64-pc-linux-gnu locale:

Dear All, I would like to be able to plot histograms/densities on a semi-log or log-log scale. I found several suggestions online http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/05/09/12044.html https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2002-June/022295.html http://www.harding.edu/fmccown/R/#histograms Now, consider the code snippet taken from http://www.harding.edu/fmccown/R/#histograms # Get a random

Dear All, I am struggling with the following problem: I am given a NxN symmetric matrix P ( P[i,i]=0, i=1...N and P[i,j]>0 for i!=j) which stands for the relative distances of N points. I would like use it to get the coordinates of the N points in a 2D plane. Of course, the solution is not unique (given one solution, I can translate or rotate all the points by the same amount and generate

I get an error when running "make check" after building R-devel r70629 on Ubuntu 14.04.

Hi there. With OpenSSH 3.0.2p1 on Solaris, the locale does not appear to get set correctly at login, as it does with, say telnet: /etc/default/init: TZ=GB CMASK=022 LC_COLLATE=en_GB.ISO8859-1 LC_CTYPE=en_GB.ISO8859-1 LC_MESSAGES=C LC_MONETARY=en_GB.ISO8859-1 LC_NUMERIC=en_GB.ISO8859-1 LC_TIME=en_GB.ISO8859-1 When logging in via SSH: scot /home/scot > locale LANG=

Apologies for the previous mail (I sent it off too early by mistake). This is the correct example: rm(list=ls()) D_mean<-seq(-5,5,length=100) y<-exp(-D_mean^2/5) pdf("my.pdf") plot(D_mean,y,type="l",yaxt="n",lty=2,lwd=2,col="black", ylab = list(expression(paste(dN/dlogD[agg]," ["*cm^-3*"]"))), xlab = expression(paste(D[agg],"

Dear All, I am given some data to analyze. The data is in the form of a Stata database (.dta file). What is the best way to import it into an R dataframe? Is there any particular caveat I should be aware of? Many thanks Lorenzo

Dear List, Further to my earlier email, I note that, for me at least, R CMD check is *not* reading R_LIBS from ~/.R/check.Renviron on R 2.15.2 patched (r61228) and R Under Development (r61660). The only way I can get R CMD check to look for packages in a user-supplied library is by explicitly exporting R_LIBS set to the relevant directory. R CMD build *does* read R_LIBS from ~/.R/build.Renviron

Dear All, I implemented an algorithm for (uniform) random rotations. In order to test it, I can apply it to a unit vector (0,0,1) in Cartesian coordinates. The result is supposed to be a set of random, uniformly distributed, points on a sphere (not the point of the algorithm, but a way to test it). This is what the points look like when I plot them, but other then eyeballing them, can anyone

Hi, I wonder if this is something on my machine locally or R in general. When I do the following: > plot(c(0,1),c(0,1),main=expression(paste(symbol("D"),"D",sep=""))) I get a plot with a title having uppercase delta followed by "D". But in the following > pdf(file="deltaTest.pdf") >

Dear All I posted a similar question quite some time ago, but that was on an old OS and an old version of R. This time I have RHEL 4, which is still supported as an OS, and R 2.5.1 which is not *that* old. My sessionInfo() gives: > sessionInfo() R version 2.5.1 (2007-06-27) i686-redhat-linux-gnu locale: LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8;LC_COLLATE=en_GB.U

Dear All, Probably something very easy, but I am looking for the most efficient ways to achieve this. Consider the following snippet y<-c('a','b','c','d','e','f','g') x<-rnorm(length(y)) df<-data.frame(y,x) leading to > df$y [1] a b c d e f g Levels: a b c d e f g Now, I would like to replace levels
