I've just developed edtdbg, a small package that integrates R's debug() with one's text editor. Excerpt from the README file: Goal The debug() function in R is primitive. My goal was to make it more usable by integrating it with one's text editor. Hence I wrote the package here, edtdbg. Its features include: * As one steps from line to line of code

I've developed a new R debugging tool, debugR, available at http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/debugR.html This basically replaces my edtdbg, which I will no longer be supporting. The new tool is now decoupled from one's text editor, and has a lot more features than edtdbg did. Try it! Feedback is encouraged, of course. Norm Matloff

My long-promised Rdsm package is now on CRAN. Some of you may recall that I made a prototype available on my own Web page last July. This is the official version, much evolved since I released the prototype. The CRAN description states: Provides a threads-like programming environment for R, usable both on a multicore machine and across a network of multiple machines. The package

I find the R debug package very useful. I've installed and used it on several of the machines I use, without problems, but on one machine I get the following error: Loading required package: mvbutils Loading required package: utils MVBUTILS: no "tasks" vector found in ROOT Loading required package: tcltk Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... done [Previously saved

As I mentioned last week, I've been developing a package that I call Rdsm ("R distributed shared memory"), modeled after a similar package, PerlDSM, I wrote for Perl some years ago. It is now in alpha form, so I'm not uploading to CRAN yet, but it is definitely usable, and I am releasing it at http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/~matloff/R/Rdsm I hope many try it out, and give me

A few weeks ago, I released my package edtdbg, which integrates R's debug() with your text editor. At the time, I said I'd release a version with more features in a couple of days. Well, it's taken a while, as I've experimented with various approaches, but I'm now releasing the new version, introducing the new features I had in mind then and some I've thought of since

Using a p-value to make any kind of decision is questionable to begin with, and especially unreliable in choosing covariates in regression. Old studies, e.g. by Walls and Weeks and by Bendel and Afifi, have shown that if predictive ability is the criterion of interest and one wishes to use p-values for deciding whether to include a covariate, one should set the p-value bar very large, at 0.25 and

Here's a basic question that doesn't seem to be completely answered in the docs, and which unfortunately I've not had time to figure out by wading through the R source code: In a vector (or array) element assignment such as z[3] <- 8 is there in actuality a full rewriting of the entire vector pointed to by z, as implied by z <- "[<-"(z,3,value=8) Assume

Better Late Than *Reeeally* Late: Last week''s Ruby column was posted at Linux Journal last night. There appears to be a bit of editorial flux there right now, so markup and scheduling are all a bit weird, but I hope to get things straightened out in time for next weeks column. In addition to news from around the Ruby world, I''ve included a quick overview of the rubyGems and
