UseRs, Version 0.9-4 of actuar should be making its way to CRAN mirrors. The main highlights of this new version are speed enhancements for a few functions, support for phase-type distributions and functions for ruin theory. The relevant section of the NEWS file follows Version 0.9-4 ============= Maintenance and new features release. NEW FEATURES -- LOSS DISTRIBUTIONS o Functions

Dear useRs, I'm happy to announce a substantial update of package actuar that bumps the version number to 2.0-0. This release focuses on additional support for continuous and discrete distributions, new functions to simulate data from compound models and mixtures, and revised and improved documentation. A slightly shortened version of the NEWS file follows: NEW FEATURES ? Support for the

Dear useRs, A new version of actuar is available since last Friday. This is mainly a bugfix release. From the NEWS file: Version 1.0-2 ============= USER-VISIBLE CHANGES o m<foo>() and lev<foo>() now return Inf instead of NaN for infinite moments. (Thanks to David Humke for the idea.) BUG FIXES o Non-ascii characters in one R source file prevented compilation of the package in

Dear developeRs, Compilation of the latest version (0.9-5) of my actuar package fails with r-release MacOS_X ix86 on CRAN; see http://www.R-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-release-macosx-ix86/actuar-00check.html All errors come from accented letters in comments in latin-1 encoded files (except hierarc.R which is in UTF-8, my bad). Encoding is declared as latin-1 in DESCRIPTION. The package

Package grDevices has a function cm() to convert from inches to centimeters. Its definition is: cm <- function(x) 2.54*x As far as I can tell, the function is not used anywhere in the R sources (I grepped for "cm(", "cm)" and ", cm".) I did not check for all packages on CRAN, though. May I propose to remove this apparently useless function from the sources? [I

Dear R users, I am trying to minimize the distance between my data points and theoretical gamma distribution over shape and scale parameters. the function "mde" from actuar package does it for empirical distribution function and theoretical gamma distribution. However, I would like to minimize the distance by using only the data between 0.1 and 0.9 quantiles. I cannot use ecdf in this

Der r helpers, I have a following set of data. Though some other software, I know it follows 3 parameter Gamma distrinution. I need to write a R code for estimating the parameters of 3 Parameter Gamma distribution. c(0,0,18561.9,0,0,0,34400,0,0,0,0,2190,0,0,0,0,60000,0,0,0, ? 19583,0,0,0,109872.87,0,0,0,0,0,0,1244,0,0,25150,0,500,0,0,0, ?

[Version fran??aise plus bas] To the R community, A quick word to announce the publication of my document "Introduction ?? la programmation en S". It is available in the French section of the Contributed Documentation page of CRAN. Many of the documents or books currently available on S-Plus and/or R present the software in a statistical analysis context. My document rather focuses

Hi all, I have tried to create a DocumentTermMatrix with a tm package, but i get this error : Error in tolower(txt) : invalid input 'PROD Z LAHKO GNETNO MELJNO GLINO, ... in 'utf8towcs' I tried doing this as it is showed in : http://www.r-project.org/doc/Rnews/Rnews_2008-2.pdf (An Introduction to Text Mining), with this R code :

I updated my modified GNU Emacs for Windows release to the now current version 22.2 of Emacs. The distribution is available at http://vgoulet.act.ulaval.ca/en/emacs For those hearing about this distribution for the first time, here's a short description: ready-to-install version of GNU Emacs 22.2 for Windows (released March 26, 2008) with the following additions: * ESS 5.3.6; *

[Sorry for cross-posting in an attempt to reach as many interested parties as possible.] Users (present or future) of GNU Emacs and ESS on Windows might be interested in my distribution of an easy to install (read: with an installation wizard) version of GNU Emacs 21.3 with the following additions: * ESS 5.3.3 configured to work with the latest stable release of R; * AUCTeX 11.84; * Aspell

Hi All, There are several replies to the question below, but I think there must exist a better way of doing so. I just want to check whether all the elements of a vector are same. My vector has one million elements and it is highly likely that there are distinct elements in the first few itself. For example: > x = c(1,2,rep(1,100000)) I want the answer as FALSE, which is clear from the

Hola a tod@s, Hace poco en la lista se discutieron algunas aproximaciones para determinar la distribución de probabilidad que potencialmente podrían haber generado los datos (ver [1]) y una de ellas fué el AIC. Haciendo uso del programa enviado por Pablo Verde (ver [1]), estos son los resultados para mis datos: weibull , AIC = 69839.44 exponential , AIC = 79488.77 gaussian , AIC = 69413.03

http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n3216865/Inverse_Gamma.png Hello, I am seeking help in estimating the parameters of an inverse gamma distribution (from the 'actuar' package) using a function like 'fitdistr'. Unfortunately I haven't found such a package using findFn('fit Inverse Gamma') from the 'sos' package and was therefore hoping someone might be aware
