Yes, I think that would be enough. Thank you, Kurt!

Hi all, I recently proposed a change in R that has led to the addition of new code to the R source code. The code added, as far as I know, has no tests and it might affect many packages in CRAN. I was wondering if adding a test would be helpful or it is already covered by some other test. Which brought me to the question: what is the coverage of R checks (check-devel)? My searches in the

Dear R-devel, I read with interest the recent blog post on how R will have parallel downloads, on blog.r-project.org (https://blog.r-project.org/2024/12/02/faster-downloads/index.html). Thanks Tomas! The blog mentions that one of the areas where this will be observed is while installing them (which I did!). However, I noticed they might be downloaded multiple times: If one interrupts the

Hi all, I have recently been researching how available.packages and install.packages filter packages from repositories with additional fields in their PACKAGES file. Currently there are some default filters, but users (and R admins) can set up their own filters by passing a list to the fields argument or adding them to the "available_packages_filters" option. But if the fields used by

Hi! Thanks for this service! It is very helpful to know what is being developed. I distribute the content to other venues and I noticed some times that the updates are duplicated. For example, the sentence "?is.R()? is deprecated as no other S dialect is known to be in use (and this could only identify historical dialects, not future ones)." is duplicated in different days: Day 1:

If a package has importClassesFrom(P, C) in its NAMESPACE, then should it _also_ have importClassesFrom(P, <superclasses of C exported from P>) importClassesFrom(Q, <superclasses of C exported from Q>) ## and so on ... ? I think that WRE could be more clear on this point, and in any case I _think_ that the answer is yes. Notably, I think that this rule would

Hi colleages! I want to import data from ms-excel and other spreadsheet formats (lotus, etc). Does exist any way to do it within R? The main problem is that many spreadsheet data use comma as decimal separator and not the point as needed in R (and many software for Linux), so importing data first as a tab separated values does not solve this problem. Thanks, Tom?s Revilla

Hello, This is what "Writing R extensions" currently says about R_atof and R_strtod: >> Function: void R_atof (const char* str) >> Function: void R_strtod (const char* str, char ** end) >> >> Implementations of the C99/POSIX functions atof and strtod which >> guarantee platform-dependent behaviour, including always using the >> period as the decimal

Hello, I want to arrange data from a table to perform a simple regression. All the examples I saw deal with paired data, e.g. 'x' and 'y' have the same dimensions (e.g. 5 values for x and 5 for y). But I have more than one 'y' for each 'x' value, e.g. the data file has a x = 0, 30, 60, and 120 columns. And for each of them I have several replicate responses (e.g.

Hi. I'm just having a look about aggregating several IMAP sources and a IMAP aggregator proxy would come very handy. I just read: http://www.cyrusimap.org/mediawiki/index.php/Cyrus_Murder_Design and found it very interesting. Anyone did something similar based on: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3656 Thanx.

Hi. Does anyone know of a good imap stress testing tool? And one which supports SEARCH commands? I have to compare Courier and Dovecot. I already did some tests using a modified postal/rabid package. I would be thankfully for any hints. Best regards. Erny Yaco Sistemas Spain

I am looking for the appropriate field to let package authors to declare the pkg documentation language for spell checkers. The most important case is to specify a preference between "en-US" or "en-GB" which can be used by the hunspell or spelling pkg to select the appropriate dictionary. WRE defines the "Language" field for documentation language, but from the

Solaris is pretty much dead at this point (closed source or not), but it is not the only oddball OS around. The need to support a wide palette of (Unix) OS variations has been rapidly declining in later years. Fifteen years ago every supercomputer seemed to have its own set of OS quirks and we wanted to be able to support the cutting edge. Now things seem to converge on a few variations on the

CanUse? If the 'Suggests' field "lists packages that are not necessarily needed" (Writing R Extensions), then why is the user required to have the package installed to pass R CMD check? Likewise, if a CanMakeUseOf field is added, then why would one choose to use Suggests at all? That is, is there an advantage to requiring that the user have a package available (to pass R CMD

For what it's worth, with R --no-init-file CMD check --as-cran ${pkg}_${version}.tar.gz on R version 2.15.0 alpha (2012-03-03 r58572) on Windows I just managed to generate a crash: Checking package affxparser... * using log directory 'X:/affxparser,BioC-devel/R2.15.0/affxparser.Rcheck' * using R version 2.15.0 alpha (2012-03-03 r58572) * using platform: x86_64-pc-mingw32 (64-bit)

Dear all, I am fitting a nonlinear mixed-effects model from a balanced panel of data using nlme. I would like to know whay would be the best options for formally testing for autocorrelation. Is it possible to carry out a Durbin-Watson test on a nlme object? As far as I've seen, I think the durbin.watson function from the car package just works on lm objects. Thank you very much, Antonio
