From ?trackObjs: Overview of trackObjs package Description: The trackObjs package sets up a link between R objects in memory and files on disk so that objects are automatically resaved to files when they are changed. R objects in files are read in on demand and do not consume memory prior to being referenced. The trackObjs package also tracks times when objects

Hello Colleagues, I've recently become a fan of Mark Bravington's mvbutils package for organizing analysis projects in a tree. Using cd(), Save(), fixr(), mlazy() etcetera solves nicely some of the nuisances that have worried or annoyed me and sometimes caused big problems over the years. Well thought out. Now one feature that would be fabulous would be automatic time-stamping of

There is a new version of the abind package on CRAN (abind_1.1-0). abind() is a multi-dimensional generalization of cbind() and rbind() -- it can bind multiple 2-d matrices into a 3-d array, or bind 3-d arrays together, etc. In this new version the behavior of the function abind() has been enhanced slightly (it can now accept a list as the first argument, removing the need to use do.call()

Just for fun (and actually because I would use it too) I wrote a version of the "paste" menu command that assumes the clipboard contains a transcript, and just pastes the commands from it into the R console window (Windows GUI only). So, if something like this: > foo <- + 33 > foo * 3 [1] 99 > foo [1] 33 is on the clipboard, then the "paste commands" menu

There are some interesting comments re Paul Murrell's new book, R, & SAS on Andrew Gelman's blog: http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~cook/movabletype/archives/2005/04/a_new_book_on_r.html -- Tony Plate

I was trying to create a function with a value computed at creation time, using substitute(), but I got results I don't understand: > this.is.R Error: Object "this.is.R" not found > substitute(this.is.R <- function() X, list(X=!is.null(options("CRAN")[[1]]))) this.is.R <- function() TRUE > # the above expression as printed is what I want for the

Having written a number of R programs and having been stung with this myself, I think this is a very good idea. In fact, if the aim of R is to "to do it right" (as one person on the list claimed) rather than be compatible with S-Plus or prior versions of R then I would go even further and make all subscripting behave like this. (If that were to be the way R goes then, of course,

Hello R users, i'm wondering how to trigger variable creation. Whenever a variable is created i want my own function myFun(...) to be started. if (exists("x")) {rm(x)} # after removal of x # any of these calls x<-10 # should call myFun x=10 # should call myFun assign(x,10) # should call myFun etc.

I'm trying to create a language structure that is a call to a function with a number of arguments that is only known at run time. I do this by using repeated indices to expand out a call with a single argument. However, when I change one of the arguments, all are changed. I don't see the same behavior when I initially create a call with multiple arguments. Even more strangely,
