JSS is trying to develop it's Code Snippets section. We have some snippets lined up and one published in the latest volume http://www.jstatsoft.org/index.php?vol=16 If you have small chunks of code of obvious relevance to statistical computing (need not be in R) consider submitting it -- why keep it to yourself ? Just a matter of pasting a minimal amount of TeX into our templates and

The Journal of Statistical Software was founded by Jan de Leeuw in 1996. Currently, there are 26 volumes with 260 aricles and the journal publishes about 4 new volumes per year. The web address is www.jstatsoft.org. All articles are pdf files, since 2005 all produced from JSS LaTeX templates. JSS is edited by Jan de Leeuw, since 2005 jointly with Achim Zeileis of the Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien.

JSS has been trying to develop a "Code Snippet" section (Hornik and Koenker, editors), but so far there have not been many submissions, possibly because this is not widely known. if you have some code that is not a full-blown package (just one or two functions) and you think it will be of general use, think about submitting. There is an excellent example in Volume 11 by Duncan

I don't think it is necessary to put binary versions of the Darwin/X11 version on CRAN any more. The current sources compile without problems on both Mac OS X 10.1 and 10.2, using either gcc/g77 2.95.2 or gcc/g77 3.1, or f2c. It seems to me that if you are using R from the command line, using X11, that you are sophisticated enough to install the tools below. And, if you want to install and

http://www.jstatsoft.org JSS is now up to Volume 11. This year is the first multi-volume year, with three volumes so far. JSS now has its own ISSN number and its own CODEC. A JSS LaTeX format will become available soon. JSS is aiming to become an (electronic) ASA journal, independent of JCGS, soon. It's contents, including back issues, will also soon be in CIS. Recent volumes of JSS

but maybe of use to some: http://gifi.stat.ucla.edu/psychoR/derivatives Computes generalized eigenvalue solutions Ax=\lambda Bx and generalized singular value solutions Rz=\gamma Px and R'x=\gamma Qy for matrices that are differentiable functions of a vector of parameters. Along with the decomposition the code returns arrays with all first-order partial derivatives of the values/vector wrt

At www.jstatsoft.org we now have three special volumes Volume 22, Ecology and Ecological Modelling in R (Thomas Kneib and Thomas Petzoldt, eds.) Volume 20, Psychometrics in R (Jan de Leeuw and Patrick Mair, eds.) Volume 18, Spectroscopy and Chemometrics in R (Kate Mullen and Ivo van Stokkum, eds.) Coming soon -- Econometrics in R -- Political Methodology in R Gleam in my eye --

in 2007 we will publish seven volumes of JSS (four of them special volumes). Volume 18 Spectroscopy and Chemometrics in R Volume 19 regular Volume 20 Psychometrics in R Volume 21 regular Volume 22 Ecology and Ecological Modeling in R Volume 23 is being started, it is a regular volume, and may not fill up completely. Volume 24 is 'Statistical Modeling of Social Networks with

Byron I meant there is no native (Aqua) version of GTK yet (there is wxWindows and Qt and Tk, so possibly GTK will follow). The X11 version of RGtk works for me too. I agree with your diagnosis of the GUI problem.

One of the outcomes of useR! 2006 is that JSS is planning to publish a series of special volumes. They will be guest edited (I have guest editors already, although somewhat tentative in some cases). Each volume will have 5-10 issues (articles) of the usual JSS format. Psychometrics in R Political Methodology in R Econometrics in R Social Science Methodology in R Spectroscopy/Chemometrics in R

Thank you for looking into this so quickly. As you correctly surmise, I was using the Carbon version of R-1.6.1 on Mac OS 10.2.2 (Jaguar) when I got the "wrong" answers. One other observation: The right censoring seems to work fine. Thanks again, Tim On Thursday, November 14, 2002, at 11:09 AM, Jan de Leeuw wrote: > I take that back. I now get the "correct" result

Many new things at http://www.cuddyvalley.org/psychoR/ The scalassoc package, which fits exponential distance association models to indicator matrices, it now at version 1.0.0. It seems to be robust and can analyze large examples easily. It is a major improvement (in speed and robustness) over the distassoc package, which is at the same site. scalassoc does something neat (if you like

Over the last couple of years I have written quite a few R programs for various "psychometric" techniques, and I am regularly updating and expanding what is there. I now have (wholly or partially), or have planned -- gifi package (update to homals on CRAN). Code for multiple correspondence analysis, nonlinear principal component analysis, nonlinear multiset canonical

This is OS X 10.6. I can build llvm-gcc and llvm-g++ just fine, but the gfortran front end cannot find a symbol.

This is probably only interesting to zero or one or two persons. gcc-3.3 from Apple's CVS does not handle the -bundle flag properly. I had to hack configure.ac, which now has shlib_ldflags="-nostdlib /usr/lib/bundle1.o -Wl,-bundle -Wl,-bundle_loader,/usr/local/lib/R/bin/R.bin -lgcc" ;; LIBR_LDFLAGS="-dynamiclib -install_name \$(Rexeclibdir)/libR.dylib -framework

I have made a regular R install, so that /Library/Frameworks/R.frameworks/Resources/bin/R.bin is now a Carbon APPL, using Rez in the way described before. We now have basically two R's -- one from Terminal.app and one from R.app. The first one works fine, except for the small glitch of not starting the default device properly. The second one does not work properly with Aqua Tcl/Tk,

I was obviously fascinated by Duncan's earlier message on RXLisp. I managed to build a working version of RXLisp for OS X, by some unabashed and rather uninformed hacking. I compiled XLISP-STAT using the gcc flags -fno-common and --no-cpp-precomp (not sure if they are necessary or not, they are part of an older hack). I "make libxlisp.so", using Duncan's replacement for the
