Dear useRs, I used the summer months to work on all of my packages, and so this is the first of a sequence of announcements of "new" or updated packages. The "new" packages are new in the sense that previous versions had been on CRAN for some months but hadn't been announced to the R community via this list until now. All packages are available from the CRAN master site

Thierry, thanks for this, this is a bug in utils:::.format_person_as_R_code(). This calls deparse() on the elements of the person object with the default width.cutoff = 60. As your comment exceeds this width, the erroneous formatting is produced. The simplest reproducible example I could come up with was: p <- person(".", comment = c(foo = ".....................",

Hello, This is about fortune package, but I think that might be related also to base R, so I am sending to package maintainer and R-devel list. I have the following in my .Rprofile to break monotony of code writing library(utils) library(fortunes) fortune() detach("package:fortunes") so I get a fortune every time I start R. It seems that this conflicts with R CMD INSTALL in latest

Hello, As you can see from my signature in this message, I use the R fortune function to generate a fortune, which is then fed to the signature program, which constructs a named pipe containing the fortune-bearing sig, which is then included in mail messages. The problem is that it's got extraneous junk in it and I can't figure out how to get rid of it. This is the command that generates

Folks: I thought John Nash's comment below was profound and a possible Fortunes candidate: (Aside: I believe it applies to a great deal of what is discussed on this list, not just stochastic optimization.)

Hi, there is a quote in the fortunes package: To paraphrase provocatively, `machine learning is statistics minus any checking of models and assumptions'. -- Brian D. Ripley (about the difference between machine learning and statistics) useR! 2004, Vienna (May 2004) Was this statement made in a presentation? If so, would it be possible to get a reference for the presentation?

Have you installed the fortunes package? From within R you can go install.packages("fortunes") If you have already installed it then there is something deeper going on.

Dear useRs, it may be of interest to some of you that Computational Statistics & Data Analysis (CSDA) is having a special issue on statistical algorithms that are accompanied by corresponding R packages.

To the R development team; I found an unusual behavior in zoo when I upgraded to R 2.11.0 - it abruptly terminated when I performed certain operations on large zoo objects. I sent an e-mail to Achim Zeileis and he said this was a potential bug that I should report to the R development team. The details are given below in the thread below. Basically, I can crash R with this code: library(zoo)

Dear useRs, here is the announcement for the next "new" package: sandwich 0.1-3. sandwich provides heteroskedasticity (and autocorrelation) consistent covariance matrix estimators (also called HC and HAC estimators). The former are implemented in the function vcovHC() (which was available in strucchange before - and independently in hccm() in John Fox's car package). And the
