Hi, I'm writing an R package using the C code i've written. I'm wondering if anyone knows an easy way to calculate an inverse and cholesky factor of a matrix using the Fortran/C library of R: and how to call them from C. My code is based on the Numerical Reciepe code, and I'm trying to use something that is already in R. Thanks for your help in advance, Kosuke

Hi, What Lapack routine(s) should I use to calculate the determinant of a symmetric matrix of real numbers? I would appreciate any guidance on this issue.

Hi, I want to use R_qsort_int_I() in my C function, but getting the following error.

Hi, I've recently purchased PowerBookG4 (panther) and installed RAqua 1.8.1. I also installed gcc version 3.3 through Xcode tools. But, for some reason, I'm having a hard time getting gcc work with R. For example, I get the following error while installing Hmisc package. I would appreciate any suggestion to fix this problem. Thanks Kosuke * Installing *source* package

Hi all, Does anybody have a hint on what may be going wrong in this R code? I mimic the sample code from the MNP developers but I seem unable to get the choice specific variables right.

Is anybody working on a way to standardize the creation of "newdata" objects for predict methods? When using predict, I find it difficult/tedious to create newdata data frames when there are many variables. It is necessary to set all variables at the mean/mode/median, and then for some variables of interest, one has to insert values for which predictions are desired. I was at a

I know nothing about your package, but "list" is a terrible name for it, as "list" is also the name of a data type in R. -- Jeff

On the topic of when to use "suggests" and "depends" and on R version requirements. I have cc'd this message to R-devel because I am curious about what senior developpers think about these issues. The problem arises because we are using some functions from the package "matchit" in a new version of our package "portfolio". We are listing the matchit in

Hello All, I'm trying to run a multinomial probit on a dataset with 28 data points and five levels (0,1,2,3,4) in the latent choice involving response variable. I downloaded the latest mnp package to run the regression. It starts the calculation and then crashes the rpogram. I wish I could give the error message but it literally shuts down R without a warning. I'm using the R

Dear R users, I am trying to estimate to estimate the average treatmen effect on the treated (ATT) using first the MatchIt software to weight the data set and, after this, the Zelig software as shown in Ho et al. (2007). See here for an explanation of how to apply this technique in R: http://imai.princeton.edu/research/files/matchit.pdf I encounter a slight problem when I apply the weights that

Hi, I recently found the MNP package. Out of curiosity, I tried to reproduce results from Greene (Econometric Analysis, fourth edition) on page 874. The signs of the estimates are all opposite those of Greene's table. Might anyone be able to tell me what I am doing wrong? I have attached the function call, the coefficients, and a few rows of the data. The dataset has 210 observations.

Hello, I'm running an Debian etch box with unstable and ever since the last upgrade to dovecot, I've seen odd things. At times, I would see emails would go missing from the Inbox or other folders, and I couldn't move emails that were moved from the Inbox to another folder back into the Inbox. These have seen gone away since I removed all dovecot.* files and .index* files from my
