similar to: Packages manually setting NeedsCompilation

FWIW NeedsCompilation is a misnomer. IIRC when I was discussing this feature with R core members many years ago, it doesn't only flag packages that require compilation (and thus contain arch-specific binary files), but it is more generally intended to flag packages that the user wouldn't be able to install **from source** on a pristine Windows or Mac system because the installation

I think that this is because `[<-` dispatches on S4 methods only if the first argument is S4. ?"[<-" says: "These operators are also implicit S4 generics, but as primitives, S4 methods will be dispatched only on S4 objects ?x?."

We recently started noticing freezes that appear only on 32bit systems (both linux and windows) with a relatively recent versions of R 3.2.0, including the RC. It looks like the problem can be traced back to the use of R_ObjectTables (see R_ext/Callbacks.h) The problem is a bit difficult to reproduce because it does not appear on x64 and because the official R interface to this functionality, the

I am using numerical optimization to fit a 1 parameter model, in which the input parameter is bounded. I am currently using optimize(), however, the problem turns out to have local minima, and optimize does not always seem to find the global minimum. I could to write a wrapping function that tries multiple intervals or starting values, but I would prefer a package that has built-in methods to make

I would like to print some tables and figures to a PDF device on a CentOS 5 vps. However, I cannot seem to get the latex function from Hmisc working. I followed the example, and got an error: sh: xdvi: command not found. I tried installing the 'tetex-xdvi' linux package, and now it returns: Error: Can't open display. I guess the reason for this is that the machine is a VPS terminal, so

I have setup a Solaris server to test packages before submitting to CRAN, in order to catch problems that might not reveal themselves on Fedora, Debian, OSX or Windows. The machine runs a Solaris 11.2 vm with Solaris Studio 12.3. I was able to compile current r-devel using the suggested environment variables from "R Installation and Administration" and: ./configure

When building R-devel with gcc 5.2.0 (mingw-w64 v4) on Windows, make check fails reg-tests-1b.R at the following check: x <- c(1:2, NA) sx <- sd(x) !is.nan(sx) Here 'sx' should be 'NA' but it is 'NaN'. It turns out this problem only appears when the function is byte compiled with optimization level 3: mysd <- function (x, na.rm = FALSE) sqrt(var(if

I have a list object, in which I have stored n lme4-models. For example: library(lme4); myModels <- list(); myModels[1] <- lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (Days|Subject), sleepstudy) myModels[2] <- lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (1|Subject) + (0+Days|Subject), sleepstudy) Now I would like to perform an anova over all models in the list. However, the anova function requires that every model is inserted

I am currently using the package 'adapt' for multivariate integration. However this package seems to be removed from CRAN (It is still referred to in the help file for integrate(stats) though). I assume it has been deprecated for a reason? Is there an alternative for multivariate numerical integration? ----- Jeroen Ooms * Dept. of Methodology and Statistics * Utrecht University Visit

Many distros and browsers these days use zstd as the preferred compression method. For example if you unpack a .deb or .rpm file on Debian or Fedora there is zstd archive inside. It is claimed that zstd offers improved compression over gzip, but (unlike lzma) it has comparable decompression speed. Maybe it is interesting to get an estimate of how much R packages would benefit from zstd. Testing

I just grabbed the new EL5 binary's for my x64 VPS from CRAN. However, where updates usually go smoothly, I now get these errors: -bash-3.2# rpm -i R-2.9.1-1.el5.x86_64.rpm error: Failed dependencies: R-devel = 2.9.1-1.el5 is needed by R-2.9.1-1.el5.x86_64 -bash-3.2# rpm -i R-core-2.9.1-1.el5.x86_64.rpm error: Failed dependencies: perl(File::Copy::Recursive) is needed by

I would like to convert a dataframe to an array of lists, one for every record. A natural choide is apply as.list to the rows. However, as it seems, as.list() automatically converts all list elements to the same datatype. Eg: myData <- data.frame(a="foo",b=as.logical(rbinom(10,1,.5))); apply(myData,1,as.list); In this output, all boolean values have been converted to character
