There may be better ways, but this is what came to my mind.

Default Generic function for: args(name, default = TRUE)
Dear Gregg,
Thank you for the fast response.
I believe though that isGeneric works only for S4-functions:
isGeneric("plot")
# FALSE
I still try to get it to work.
Sincerely,

Use of geometric mean for geochemical concentrations
Dear Rich,
It depends how the data is generated.
Although I am not an expert in ecology, I can explain it based on a biomedical example.
Certain variables are generated geometrically (exponentially), e.g. MIC or Titer.
MIC = Minimum Inhibitory Concentration for bacterial resistance
Titer = dilution which still has an effect, e.g. serially diluting blood samples;
Obviously, diluting the

Clustering Functions used by Reverse-Dependencies
Dear R Users,
Are there any tools to extract the function names called by reverse-dependencies?
I would like to group these functions using clustering methods based on the co-occurrence in the reverse-dependencies.
Utility: It may be possible to split complex packages into modules with fewer reverse-dependencies.
Package pkgdepR may offer some of the functionality; but I did not have time to

Create new data frame with conditional sums
If one makes the reasonable assumption that Pct is much larger than
Cutoff, sorting Cutoff is the expensive part e.g O(nlog2(n) for
Quicksort (n = length Cutoff). I believe looping is O(n^2). Jeff's
approach using findInterval may be faster. Of course implementation
details matter.

Create new data frame with conditional sums
Dear Jason,
The code could look something like:
dummyData = data.frame(Tract=seq(1, 10, by=1),
?? ?Pct = c(0.05,0.03,0.01,0.12,0.21,0.04,0.07,0.09,0.06,0.03),
?? ?Totpop = c(4000,3500,4500,4100,3900,4250,5100,4700,4950,4800))
# Define the cutoffs
# - allow for duplicate entries;
by = 0.03; # by = 0.01;
cutoffs <- seq(0, 0.20, by = by)
# Create a new column with cutoffs

Issue from R-devel: subset on table
My mistake!
It does actually something else, which is incorrect. One could still use
(although the code is more difficult to read):
subset(tmp <- table(sample(1:10, 100, T)), tmp > 10)

There's no need to involve atan() and tan() in this:

Why do you think this is a bug?

return value of {....}
Dear Akshay,
The best response was given by Andrew. "{...}" is not a closure.
This is unusual for someone used to C-type languages. But I will try to
explain some of the rationale.
In the case that "{...}" was a closure, then external variables would
need to be explicitly declared before the closure (in order to reuse
those values):
intermediate = c()

BUG: atan(1i) / 5 = NaN+Infi ?
atan(1i) -> 0 + Inf i
complex(1/5) -> 0.2 + 0i
atan(1i) -> (0 + Inf i) * (0.2 + 0i)
-> 0*0.2 + 0*0i + Inf i * 0.2 + Inf i * 0i
infinity times zero is undefined
-> 0 + 0i + Inf i + NaN * i^2
-> 0 + 0i + Inf i - NaN
-> NaN + Inf i
I am not sure how complex arithmetic could arrive at another answer.
I advise against messing with infinities... use atan2() if you don't

R code for overlapping variables -- count
Dear Shadee,
If you have a data.frame with the following columns:
n = 100; # population size
x = data.frame(
??????Sex = sample(c("M","F"), n, T),
??????Country = sample(c("AA", "BB", "US"), n, T),
??????Income = as.factor(sample(1:3, n, T))
)
# Dummy variable
ONE = rep(1, nrow(x))
r = aggregate(ONE ~ Sex + Income + Country, length, data = x)

BUG: atan(1i) / 5 = NaN+Infi ?
Dear Bert,
These behave like real divisions/multiplications:
complex(re=Inf, im = Inf) * 5
# Inf+Infi
complex(re=-Inf, im = Inf) * 5
# -Inf+Infi
The real division / multiplication should be faster and also is well behaved. I was expecting R to do the real division/multiplication on a complex number. Which R actually does for these very particular cases; but not when only Im(x) is Inf.

See the Note in ?complex for the explanation, I think. Duncan can correct
if I'm wrong.

Bridging R to OpenOffice
Dear members of the R Development Team,
I am looking for people with a deep understanding of R internals to

While R is a state of the art statistical environment, less experienced

Categorizing Fonts using Statistical Methods
Dear list members,
Every "modern" OS comes with dozens of useless fonts, so that the
current font drop-down list in most programs is overcrowded with fonts
one never will use. Selecting a useful font becomes a nightmare.
In an attempt to ease the selection of useful fonts, I began looking
into sorting fonts using some statistical techniques. I summed my ideas

Dear R Users,
Is this desired behaviour?
I presume it's a bug.
atan(1i)

tan(atan(1i))
# 0+1i
atan(1i) / 5
# NaN+Infi
There were some changes in handling of complex numbers. But it looks like a bug.

Create new data frame with conditional sums
Dear Jason,
I do not think that the solution based on aggregate offered by GPT was
correct. That quasi-solution only aggregates for every individual level.
As I understand, you want the cumulative sum. The idea was proposed by
Bert; you need only to sort first based on the cutoff (e.g. using an
ordered factor). And then only extract the last value for each level. If
Pct is unique, than you
