Dear UseRs!, Everything about UseR! 2010 was terrific! I really mean "everything" - the tutorials, invited talks, kaleidoscope sessions, focus sessions, breakfast, snacks, lunch, conference dinner, shuttle services, and the participants. The organization was fabulous. NIST were gracious hosts, and provided top notch facilities. The rousing speech by Antonio Possolo, who is the chief

Dear R useRs, I have a problem with nls.lm function of minpackl.lm package. I need to fit the Van Genuchten Model to a set of data of Theta and hydraulic conductivity with nls.lm function of minpack.lm package. For the first fit, the parameter estimates keep changing even after 1000 iterations (Th) and I have a following error message for fit of hydraulic conductivity (k); Reason for

Hi folks, I've got this funny problem with R's foreign library when reading stata files. One file consistently produces vector out of memory errors after gobbling up 2.7G of memory. I parsed through the read.dta function and figured out where the error occurs and the description is below. I am running R-1.8.1 on Debian stable system glibc2.2 kernel 2.4.24. R is is compiled from source

All, Can you use the global variables set in the [globals] section of the extension.conf file in other configuration files? Here is an example: I have a file called globalvars.conf that I include in the [globals] section in extension.conf. I would like either (a) that the global variables being defined in this section can be used from voicemail.conf or (b) that I can include the

Hi, I am using the reldist package and having problems determining the p-value for the entropy value from the reldist function. I am able to properly determine the entropy value, but cannot figure out what function to use to find the p-value. I have tried using rpy, rpluy (which provides p-values for the polarization values) and investing the results from reldist(). Thus, far I cannot find the

Has anyone coded (in R) a spatial voter model with mutation (e.g., Kimura and Weiss 1964, Holley and Liggett 1975, Durrett and Levin 1996)? In principle, it is quite straightforward, but useful simulations require many many iterations, making my "straightforward" version too time intensive. I am happy to share my version (without mutation, below), for what it is worth. Thank you in

On a W2K machine, I can easily check the correct hard disk space of my share. However, I have a directory on my share which is linked (on the UNIX side) to another device with more storage. My problem is that W2K is having problems checking the disk space over multiple devices. Has anyone seen this problem and/or know of any solutions? Ed Fatula Lockheed Martin M&DS Gaithersburg, MD

I'm testing SAMBA 3.0.2 on a Solaris 9 box with a UFS file system. The ACLs appear to be working well with the security tab, etc. However, once a permission setting has been made from a security tab on a directory, the mask and default mask parameters no longer appear in a getfacl. In addition, the #effective permission is incorrect. Has anyone seen this? I searched the archives and I
