I have a problem with some functions handling dates, in packages 'date' and 'survival' (they seem to be identical). For instance, from the documentation, -------------------- mdy.date {survival} R Documentation Convert to Julian Dates Description Given a month, day, and year, returns the number of days since January 1, 1960. Usage mdy.date(month, day, year, nineteen = TRUE,

Hello, I get a segfault when running glmmboot in my own package glmmML. Has happened many time before, but this time I get no hint of where in my C functions the error might be. I give the output below. Can this be an R bug? I suspect it has to do with repeated calls to 'vmmin' like this: for (...){ vmax = vmaxget(); vmmin(*p, b, &Fmin, bfun,

I want the indices i for which x[i] < 0 (say): > x <- c(1, -1, 3, 3, -2) > where.negative(x) [1] 2 5 Surely where.negative is something simple, but how?

I have both gcc-3.4 and gcc-4.0(.1) installed on my system (debian-amd64 unstable), with links /usr/bin/gcc, g77, etc. to the 3.4 versions. When I build R, the 3.4 version is picked up, which is fine. However, when I 'install.packages("xyz")', R uses gcc-4.0 and gfortran-4.0! Should I accept this or do something about it? And if so, what? Of course, removing all 4.0 versions

A new version (0.96.3) of the package 'eha' is now on CRAN. Apart from some bug fixes, there are some news. The most noteworthy are: (i) 'plot.Surv' has a few new options, (ii) 'weibreg' now can fit null models (i.e., only scale and shape) and covariates are no longer automatically centered (although this is still the default), (iii) there is a new function,

I noticed the same thing as I reported below, when I upgraded from R-2.0.0-alpha-20040918 to today's beta version: 'R CMD check' failed as before; but after cleaning 'src' from .o and .so files, it worked again. So the two-day-old '.so' file is obviously different from today's. Has compiler directives changed in the two last days? Or what is happening? G?ran On

I wanted to add some text to a plot and got (R-1.6.0, Linux): > text(x = c(1, 4), y = 5, labels = x) Error in text.default(x = c(1766, 1895), y = 5, labels = x) : Object "x" not found With the default value of 'labels': > text(x = c(1, 2), y = 5, labels = seq(along = x)) Error in seq(along = x) : Object "x" not found A scoping bug? :) But >

I find 'How do I convert factors to numeric?' in the FAQ (7.12), but not the other way around. Trivial maybe, but > codes(factor(c(2, 10)) [1] 2 1 > codes(factor(c(2, 9))) [1] 1 2 How do I get the levels attached to the codes in numeric order?

I need to order a long vector of integers with rather few unique values. This is very slow: > x <- sample(rep(c(1:10), 50000)) > system.time(ord <- order(x)) [1] 189.18 0.09 190.48 0.00 0.00 But with no ties > y <- sample(500000) > system.time(ord1 <- order(y)) [1] 1.18 0.00 1.18 0.00 0.00 it is very fast! This gave me the following idea: Since I don't care

I'm looking for a Windows distribution of TeX that works with R, after a few years' absence from Windows. On Duncan Murdoch's Rtools page fptex is still recommended, but it turns out that fptex is "defunct" as of May 2005, see http://www.metz.supelec.fr/~popineau/xemtex-7.html So, what is suggested? TUG (tug.org) recommends something called proTeXt, which is said to be

When reading an spss file, I get the following message: Warning message: ../totmorH.sav: Unrecognized record type 7, subtype 13 encountered in system file. What does it mean? Do I have to worry? The result looks as expected. I do not have (easy) access to SPSS, so I cannot check exactly that I got what I should have. Thanks, G??ran And, I'm using R-2.0.1 on Debian testing (from source).

I will be giving a course in survival analysis using R (of course!) for people who know nothing about the subject (including R), but know basic statistics. I'm looking for a suitable course book. Therneau & Grambsch (2000) is an excellent book, but too much for this course. I need somthing more elementary. I have a vague memory saying that such books exist, but I cannot find any for the

Is it possible to let a function be known under two names without having two identical copies of the function body? --- G?ran Brostr?m tel: +46 90 786 5223 Department of Statistics fax: +46 90 786 6614 Ume? University http://www.stat.umu.se/egna/gb/ SE-90187 Ume?, Sweden e-mail: gb at stat.umu.se

In the first line, use the dist function, found in library mva, to get the distance between each pair of rows. From this calculate an incidence matrix for which element i,j is true if row i in dat equals row j in dat (and false elsewhere). In the second line, for each row calculate the indices of the matching rows and take the minimum of those as the key. incid <-

I have a data frame containing children, with variables 'year' = birth year, and 'm.id' = mother's id number. Let's assume that all the births of each mother is represented in the data frame. Now I want to create a subset of this data frame containing all children, whose mother's first birth was in the year 1816 or later. This seems to work: mid <-

A few days ago I uploaded to CRAN a new package called 'eha', which stands for 'Event History Analysis'. Its main focus is on proportional hazards modeling in survival analysis, and in that respect eha can be regarded as a complement and an extension to the 'survival' package. In fact eha requires survival. Eha contains three functions for proportional hazards
