Hi all, When I install a new package, and don't yet know any function names, I have to play the "poor man's game" to get to the standard help system "Index" page for the package: Poor Man's Game -=20 Load new package;=20 issue search() command; find position (say N) of loaded package;=20 issue objects(pos =3D N) command; get name of a random function (san

I am wondering whether there is a bug in rnorm. When generating rnorm(1000000) and counting the cases > 4 and the cases < (-4) I get rather unexpectedly low counts for the latter. The problem goes away when using qnorm(runif(1000000)). Fritz Scholz, PhD Applied Statistics Group Boeing Phantom Works fritz.scholz at pss.boeing.com 425-865-3623 Tu/We 206-542-6545 (most likely)

Hello, I was following the instructions at https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/#secure-apt but encountered this message upon apt-get update: GPG error: http://cran.rstudio.com trusty/ Release: The following signatures were invalid: KEYEXPIRED... And then the following on apt-get install: WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated! Investigating a little, it looks like

Dear List: I'm having the same problem that was reported recently. The latest version of R cannot load the Matrix package, even though it is installed and readable. I've read the archive files for this list and tried the suggested solutions (e.g., removing/uninstalling the Matrix package and reinstalling it). Nothing has worked so far. Does anybody have advice of what I could try next?

[Env: Win Xp] Is there any options() setting or call to help() or help.start() that will allow me to view a help file for a package built under R 2.10.x under R 2.9.2? I'm using both R 2.9.2 and R 2.10.1, but prefer the former because the CHM help is so much easier to use. Yet, if I install a package built for R 2.10.x, I can't find *any* way to display a help file in this package.

Dear Ubunutu R users, Vincent Goulet and myself would like to announce the availability of R 2.11.0 for Ubuntu's latest release, Lucid Lynx. The packages should be on or arriving soon to your favorite mirror. R 2.11.0 packages also exist on CRAN for all Ubuntu releases going back to hardy. As Johannes Ranke pointed out for the Debian release, R packages installed under R < 2.10.0

Hi, I am running Ubuntu 10.10 and I have just installed R 2.14.0. When I try to install a package: install.packages("SPOT") it returns an error message: "Error in readRDS(file) : error reading from the connection". Also, when I try the command in R: update.packages(), it returns the same error message described previously. Any ideas? Regards, Monica [[alternative

I am trying to add Michael Rutter's ppa to my repository.? I cannot do this from the command line.? I think I may be behind a firewall so copying the key to a text file is my best option.?

Hello everyone, I've spent the last 2 days trying to install base R on my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS machine.

It appears that the revoluton-mkl package, available via the multiverse Ubuntu repository with the purpose of adding multi-threaded numeric libraries to R, is not function correctly with R 2.13 (at least the version found on CRAN). Testing with "R-benchmark-25.R" (found at http://r.research.att.com/benchmarks/), I get the following error, after installing the revolution-mkl package

Hi, In the aftermath of the signing key expiring a couple of days ago, it seems that the Ubuntu repositories are no longer signed (there is no Release.gpg file present). This is not a good situation as users cannot verify the packages' origin. I hope this will be fixed promptly :-) Thank you, Mikko Pesari

As per a request, here is a brief guide to what is available to R users as packages in Ubuntu. Each release of Ubuntu includes the latest version of R and the recommended packages. In addition, there are approximately 80 additional r-cran packages available in the default repositories. The limitation to these packages is that they are not updated and reflect the current version of the
