Two post-doctoral positions are available from the Brain Physiology Laboratory in Paris (France). The first position is available immediately to work on spike sorting and spike train analysis. It consists in both data analysis and methods development. Familiarity with neurophysiology is not required. Familiarity with R and with some of the methodologies used: clustering, classification,

Hi all, I've uploaded STAR (Spike Train Analysis with R) on CRAN two days ago. The package is designed to analyze neuronal spike (action potential) trains. It uses S3 classes and methods and makes heavy use of other CRAN packages like gss, R2HTML, mgcv, survival. * Analysis of both spontaneous and stimulus evoked activity is implemented for single neuron spike trains as well as for many

Guys, I'm using a Linux PC (Pentium IV, Mandrake 10.1) and I've just tried to compile the new R-2.1.0 release with both gcc/g77 (3.4.1) and icc/ifort (8.1). Of course everything went fine with the GNU compilers. After checking the archives of the mailing list I tried compiling with the Intel compilers using the following options: CFLAGS = '-O2 -mp -prec_div' CXXFLAGS =

Hello everyone, I'm working on a package using S4 classes and methods and I ran into the following "problem" when I tried to create an "apply" method for objects of one of my new classes. I've found a way around the problem but I wonder if I did not paint myself into the corner. I'd like your opinion about that. So I have an object "myObj" of class

Hi, There is something I don't get with object of class "mle" returned by a function I wrote. More precisely it's about the behaviour of method "confint" and "profile" applied to these object. I've written a short function (see below) whose arguments are: 1) A univariate sample (arising from a gamma, log-normal or whatever). 2) A character string

Full_Name: Vilmos Prokaj Version: R 2.7.1 OS: windows Submission from: (NULL) (213.181.195.84) Dear developers, The following line of code (produced by a mistake) caused an infinite loop unique("a",c("a","b")) or also unique(1,1:2) I made a little investigation, and it seems to be that the following function from unique.c is looping infinitely static int

Full_Name: Vilmos Prokaj Version: 2.5.1 OS: windows Submission from: (NULL) (81.183.3.216) I'm not sure that this is really a bug, if not I do not understand why should it be in this way. Most of the scripts used to build and install new packages calls the R program with the --slave --vanilla command line options. In the INSTALL script however we can find the following lines

Full_Name: Vilmos Prokaj Version: R-2..7.1 OS: Win XP Submission from: (NULL) (157.181.227.218) The 'aggregate' function on an empty data.frame generate an error, however it should return according to the documentation an empty data.frame. e.g. z<-data.frame(a=integer(0),b=numeric(0)) aggregate(z,by=z[1],FUN=sum) In a more realistic situation 'z' is of the form

Hi all, I am wondering if anyone has implemented (or at least tried to) an automatic reparametrization in order to satisfy "trivial" constraints (in the sense of Dennis & Schnabel, 1983) in optimization problems. To be perhaps clearer let us consider a simple bi-exponential model for some recorded signal (sorry for the LaTex notations I hope they aren't too confusing): $s(t) = A

Full_Name: Reinhold Bader Version: 2.1.0 OS: SLES 9 Submission from: (NULL) (129.187.48.1) I tried to build R using the Intel compilers (icc, ifort) and the Math Kernel Libraries for BLAS/LAPACK Optimizations used were -O3, and the FPICFLAGS="-fpic" was exported. The build failed with the following error message: ... dumping R code in package 'methods' Saving namespace image

Hi, dovecot tries to use OpenSSL's PRNG to generate random numbers if there is no /dev/urandom found. Unfortunately, it is flawed in its present form, since the PRNG is not seeded before RAND_bytes() is called in src/lib/randgen.c (on systems which have /dev/urandom, OpenSSL automatically seeds its PRNG from the urandom device). Here's a patch to address this issue: it tries to seed

Dear list users, I need to learn about MCMC methods, and since there are several packages in R that deal with this subject, I want to use them. I want to buy a book (or more than one, if necessary) that satisfies the following requirements: - it teaches well MCMC methods; - it is easy to implement numerically the ideas of the book, and notation and concepts are similar to the corresponding R

Hello, I am looking for documentation (PDF ?) about doing clustering with the EM Algorithm on R... I'm sorry for this question which may be trivial... Thanks... Dominique

Hi, list, Sorry if I am bothering you. I am interested in using xgrid with R for distributed computing. I am using MacOS X and my R 2.1. 1 is already installed and running. The client computers are all of the same type and the same version of R has been installed on them. We have also set up xgrid on my system and client computers as well. I am wondering if any one can give me some clues

Hello, I've got to compute a minimization equation under an equality constraint (Min g(x1,x2,x3) with x1+x2=const). The Constroptim function does not authorize an equality condition but only inequality conditions. Which function can I use instead? Thank you very much for your help.

Hi all, I'm trying to estimate a nested model (purchase decision, cloglog formula, & quantity bought given a purchase, truncated Poisson). Some of the parameters are mixed (6) and 4 are fixed for all the respondent. The simulated ML (500 simulations) method forwards highly correlated estimates. After some research, Hybrid Monte Carlo seems to be a good alternative to estimate the model. I

I have some time stamped events that are supposed to be unrelated. I have plotted them and that assumption does not appear to be valid. http://metrak.com/tmp/sevents.png is a plot showing three sets of events over time. For the purpose of this exercise, the Y value is irrelevant. The series are not sampled at the same time and are not equispaced (just events in a log file). The plot is

I haven't had yet time to read all the mails in this list which I skipped in the last few of weeks. I'll try to get to them eventually. This release contains several new features which haven't been fully tested yet, such as ACLs, master users and Maildir++ quota. If you intend to use them, test them properly first. This is the first Dovecot release where it's supposed to work
