We have R 2.2.1 installed on a Linux cluster that seems to have problems loading either of our shared object libraries for packages. This seems to be happening on both local and global versions of packages that we install. However, we have only noticed this problem in the past 3 months on this R installation, whereas some users had success before then. It could be that something on our system

haplo.stats, version 1.5.2, is now available on CRAN. Below I provide the description and link to our software page where you can also find the updated user manual. The most notable updates for this version were to make the haplo.glm fitted object work more like the glm object; other changes are listed in the NEWS file entries pasted below.

I am on Solaris 7, using R_1.7.1 developing packages for both Splus and R. We have a working R-package for haplo.score and now converting to haplo.stats. R CMD INSTALL -l /people/biostat3/sinnwell/Rdir/library haplo.stats_1.1.0.tar.gz works like a charm-- as comparable to our working version of haplo.score. But problems are when I'm loading the library within R. Within my package I have

Re-sending this from 10/7. Please help! I'm really clueless how to fix this: System: Solaris 7, Software: R_1.7.1 for unix > R CMD INSTALL -l /Rdir/library haplo.stats_1.1.0.tar.gz -works like a charm-- no syntax errors, etc But problems are when I'm loading the library within R. > library(haplo.stats, lib.loc="/people/biostat3/sinnwell/Rdir/library") > Error

Dear useRs: Announcing the release of kinship2, version 1.2.1, to CRAN. kinship2 is a branch from the original kinship package with some key updates for the pedigree and kinship functions, with some additional functions that work with the pedigree object. Highlights: * pedigree and pedigreeList objects implemented with S3 methods print and "[," * pedigree plotting routine

Using R 1.8.1 on Solaris Developing an Splus and R package from the same files. Creating an alias for multiple functions to the same file in .sgml: <s-topics> <s-topic> my.function </s-topic> <s-topic> print.my.function </s-topic> </s-topics> using R CMD Sd2Rd would convert to: \name{my.function} \alias{my.function} \name{print.my.function}

Dear useRs- I am developing a package that uses output from stand-alone unix software programs. I use multiple perl scripts to process the output and make it ready for reading into R. I would like to keep the perl scripts in the designated place for such files, exec/, but I can't find how a user is supposed to be able to use those when using the library. R-exts 1.1.4:

I've just uploaded an R version of Daniel Schaid's 'haplo.score' library (from http://www.mayo.edu/statgen/) to CRAN. >From the DESCRIPTION file: [haplo.score is a] suite of routines that can be used to compute score statistics to test associations between haplotypes and a wide variety of traits, including binary, ordinal, quantitative, and Poisson. These methods assume

Using R 1.7.1 in Solaris I'm developing a package for both Splus and R, and I'm trying to use all the same files for R and Splus, both function files and help files. I have two questions. 1) The file made by R CMD check to run .Rd-examples posts examples from files in alphabetical order. Is it okay/recommended/common-practice to set up all the example data in the first two

Full_Name: Eric Lunde Version: 2.0.1 OS: Solaris 9 Submission from: (NULL) (129.176.151.21) Hi R Devel, I am assisting one of my fellow R users who is developing a package for both Splus and R. He has been using the Sd2Rd command to convert his sgml help files into Rd help files. We believe we have found a bug. We noticed that if an sgml help file has multiple <s-topic> tags, each of

Dear R developers: I am a PHD candidate student in the school of public health of Peking University and my major is genetic epidemiology. I am learning the FAM-MDR algorithm, which is used to detect the gene-gene and gene-environment interactions in the data of pedigree. The codes were written by Tom Cattaert of the University of Liege. The algorithms and the sample datasets are available at

Dear all, Thanks to those of you who have replied, the majority of the comments pointed out that the error caused by scan may originate from another function, and closer inspection of the output from traceback() reveals that it is in fact the read.table function where the error is originating from the full output of which I have included below. The error msg I recieve is Error in

Hi, You should look at Pinheiro and Bates (2000) Mixed-effects models in S and S-Plus. It describes how to format the correlation matrix to pass to functions lme and gls. Basically, the correlation matrix has to be one of the corStruct classes, probably corSymm for your example. So in the call to lme (or gls if you really have no random effects), use something like:

Hi, We're encountering a rather weird, sporadic hang during a large-file transfer. A bit of background on the setup: - Host A rsyncs a MySQL database from Host B. Both sides use rsync 3.1.1 on Debian Jessie. - Host B serves the files using rsync --daemon from an ext4 filesystem residing on a thin LVM snapshot. - Host A uses the following command to rsync the files to a btrfs

Hello, I am using the Kinship package to draw a pedigree plot. I am trying to control the spacing between individuals in the pedigree. Currently, it is drawing a pedigree with too little space, so the text is overlapping. I'd like to increase the distance between individuals. According to the documentation, I would expect the following to be relevant:

Hi Im using the kinship package to draw a pedigree. On my data set this works fine but when i add indivudals to the pedigree i keep getting an error i hope someone can help me!
