The Design library has been fully ported to R except for Cox proportional hazards regression modeling (using Therneau's survival package) which will be available in about two weeks. It will take much longer to make all the example code executable, is it currently contains many examples for which data are not provided. Thanks to Xiao Gang Fan <xiao.gang.fan1 at libertysurf.fr> who

New versions of the Hmisc and Design packages, including ones for Windows, may be found at http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/s/library/r Thanks as always to Xiao Gang Fan <xiao.gang.fan1 at libertysurf.fr> for providing the Windows ports. In Hmisc, new features for multiple imputation have been added to aregImpute and LaTeX and plot methods have been improved for summary.formula

Great news! Having spent a significant amount of time porting/mantaining some packages on S4/Splus 5.x and R, I'm interested in your experience as you port Hmisc and Design; I'd like to know of your progress in order to help improve available R/Splus portability tools both at the C and the S language code. These tools include the package SLanguage written by John Chambers, and

After several nice and informative discussions with Bill Venables, Duncan Temple Lang, Tony Rossini, Martin Maechler, and Robert Gentleman, I am pleased to announce that I am becoming an R user and have begun porting the Hmisc and Design libraries to R. I have been very impressed with the maturity of R and with its logical design, particularly its online documentation setup and the way packages

I am pleased to announce that a new version of the Hmisc package, 2.0-0, is on CRAN. Thanks to Kurt Hornik and Uwe Ligges and others for making this possible. Thanks also to Xiao Gang Fan who has generously ported Hmisc and Design to Windows multiple times until now. The Design package will soon be on CRAN too. --- Frank E Harrell Jr Prof. of Biostatistics & Statistics Div. of

After Brian Ripley suggested I get the latest version of R-devel, my show() problem, for an object for which I desired no special print method, was fixed. I am glad to report that all examples passed R CMD check for both libraries using today's version of R-devel.

Many of you are using Sweave for making statistical reports. I thought it might be helpful to some to see an example of the setup I use (in Linux). For those of you who have not yet discovered the power and productivity gains from using Fritz Leisch's wonderful package, I encourage you to give Sweave a try. %File: model.nw %Usage: % Put library(Hmisc;Design;tools} in .First % Sweave model

Hi folks, Using R Version 1.6.2 (2003-01-10) on SuSE Linux 7.2, I just installed Hmisc_1.5-3.tar.gz and Design_1.1-5.tar.gz These were taken from http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/s/library/r Checked the dependencies: Hmisc: grid, lattice, mva, acepack -- all already installed Design: Hmisc, survival -- survival already installed, so installed Hmisc first All seems to go

I am using read.spss in the foreign package to read an SPSS save file. For date variables I get huge values such as 11489990400. Does anyone know how to convert these values to R POSIXct date objects? Thanks in advance -Frank platform i686-pc-linux-gnu arch i686 os linux-gnu system i686, linux-gnu status major 1 minor

Thanks to Deepayan Sarkar (lattice) and Paul Murrell (grid) I have nearly finished porting the Hmisc library's xYplot function to R. xYplot extends xyplot to allow for error bars, bands, and a few other features. In S-Plus I extended the Trellis function xyplot mainly by writing panel.xYplot. In R, xyplot contains a lot of code, so I implemented xYplot by calling xyplot from it. Things are

Matt Nelson <MNelson at sequenom.com> reported a problem using the Hmisc library that did not occur with versions of R before 1.6.

In a .First.lib I want to issue two require()s to insure that two other packages are loaded. But I want the package being loaded by .First.lib using library.dynam("mypackage",pkb,lib) to be higher in the search order than the two required packages, because I want to have a couple of functions from the two required packages overridden. What is the best way to do that? Thanks in advance
