R News (see http://CRAN.R-project.org/doc/Rnews/) is running low on submissions lately. If you are the author of a package on CRAN or Bioconductor and want to attract a larger audience to your software, you should consider writing a short article introducing the package.

if i write a funciton like this f <- function(x) Sweave("report.Rnw") and report.Rnw has an R chunk like this: <<>>= print(x) @ i get an error: 'Object "x" not found'. is there a way to avoid this without using assign to create a global variable? thanks, rafael

Hi R users: I got the following message when I use the pixmap library on R 1.7.0 over w2K platform (on R 1.6.2 it runs right). pixmapGrey(matrix(c(0,1),128,128)) Error in .class1(object) : Object "from" not found I download the library .zip file from: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/1.7/pixmap_0.3-2.zip Other question: When I try to "Install package(s) from

Hi, I just had a very quick look at the StatDataML proposal --- nice work! At the risk of showing my ignorance, I want to mention my first impressions. My first impression is that defining datasets in terms of arrays and list is a bit too high a level. What about simpler vectors, scalars? (I know that R/S don't have scalars, but other systems/applications do.) Can we think of a core

A new package called `pixmap' has been released on CRAN. From the DESCRIPTION file: Package: pixmap Version: 0.2-1 Title: Bitmap Images (``Pixel Maps'') Depends: R (>= 1.3) Author: Friedrich Leisch and Roger Bivand Maintainer: Friedrich Leisch <Friedrich.Leisch at ci.tuwien.ac.at> Description: Functions for import, export, plotting and other manipulations of bitmapped

Hi, I'm new to R and have a question which seems like it should be easy. I loaded the R port of my boot library and installed it. All of the functions and help files are available but I can't seem to access the data. The data directory was created and contains files with the extension .rda. I tried to use the data() function but I get > data(city) Error: restore file corrupted -- no

I've made a package from some benchmark datasets for use with R and uploaded it to CRAN.

NA's in a data frame are not handled properly, if the data frame was read in using read.table (but I'm not sure if that is the reason of the problems): (I'm using Debian Linux 1.3) If I read the file *************** 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 ? 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 *************** into R using read.table I run into troubles: R : Copyright 1997, Robert Gentleman and Ross Ihaka Version 0.49 Beta

Friedrich, Thank you for your prompt response. Unfortunately, none of the CRAN mirrors seem to be working for me. I'm not really sure what's going on since I was able to download R about a year ago, but I recently got a new computer and needed to download it again. I'll see if my support staff here at the National Institutes of Health have any suggestions. Thanks again, Eric
