Dear all, I installed the amd64 cran2deb [1] JGR binaries on a fresh Debian testing, and JGR is missbehaving. When JGR starts up, one core of the CPU goes to 100% and stays there, even though I am keeping it idle and not performing any operation. I tried JGR with both sun-java6-jdk and openjdk-6-jdk, debian-liv:/home/liviu# update-alternatives --config java There are 4 choices for the alternative

Some packages are available in cran2deb and Debian. After adding cran2deb to my sources.list it seems the cran2deb ones are favored because X.Y-ZcranN is "more recent" than X.Y-Z. In the case of r-cran-rmpi the effect of this was to cause aptitude to want to uninstall all my mpi stuff. Apparently the automatically generated package doesn't have mpi as a dependency. I just put a

Hi, I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 amd64 with cran2deb packages (I know it's meant for Debian, it's worked fine for me for many months). Recently apt-get update has to started to complain: ... Hit http://debian.cran.r-project.org testing/ Release Get:1 http://debian.cran.r-project.org testing/ Packages [515kB] Fetched 1B in 3s (0B/s) W: Failed to fetch

Hi, I am curious what will happen to cran2deb: deb http://debian.cran.r-project.org/cran2deb/debian-amd64 testing/ When Squeeze is released? I really hope this service will continue. It has been great being able to aptitude install R packages. Additionally are these packages signed and is there a key? Chris

What is the relation between the cran2deb repository, http://debian.cran.r-project.org/, and the debian repositories at CRAN, http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/? I've studied the pages and this list, but am unsure I've got it right. My understanding is that cran2deb had almost all packages, targets testing, and currently is only supported for i386. It appears the debian repo at

Dear Michael, I was looking up the status of the cran2deb effort and notice that you now have a PPA where new packages are landing and being built for Ubuntu. It looks like this is still a work in progress, but is already a fantastic resource for me and I hope it is something that you can continue to operate. I'm now installing many of these packages but some things I need are missing.

Announcing cran2deb: 1700+ Debian packages from almost all of CRAN ------------------------------------------------------------------ Last Friday's presentation at UseR! 2009 was the first really public mention of 'cran2deb'. It provides Debian packages of all of CRAN. It started as Charles' project from last year's Google Summer of Code, was further extended by us over the

Dear All, I am running (X)Ubuntu 9.10 for the amd64 architecture on both my laptop e desktop. I came across the posts http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1336062 http://www.mail-archive.com/r-sig-debian at r-project.org/msg00892.html So it looks like that I will not be able to safely use cran2deb together with Ubuntu, but I simply would like to make sure that this is the way things

Hi All, just to check, is cran2deb available for Karmic Koala (ideally also for a amd_64)? Cheers, Fede -- Federico C. F.

Sorry if this has been answered somewhere else (didn't see it), but is cran2deb fully compatible with Ubuntu? Novice question: I use install.packages() within R. The pros of using sudo apt-get instead seem obvious, but are there any cons I should know about?

Dear all, I've recently made in LyX a report using Sweave and run into troubles with xtable() generated LaTeX tables. One example, xtable() commands inside floats (table, box (minipage), etc.) will make the LaTeX compilation fail. Another, if four-five xtable() commands are run in a sequence, at least one of the generated tables will strangely hop onto the next page. The culprit is that

Dear all, I'm looking for an alternative way to replicate the "2," string for an x number of times, and end up with one string containing "2," x times. I can partly achieve this using replicate(). > y <- rep("2,", times=3) > y [1] "2," "2," "2," The output that I am looking for is, however, "2,2,2,". I also tried

Dear all, The other day I stumbled on this article, "A critique of R and S-PLUS" [1], and got curious on whether the points outlined are (still) valid. The article is quite old, dating 2004, but was updated several times.

Dear all How does print.htest display the p-value in scientific notation? > (x <- cor.test(iris[[1]], iris[[3]])) Pearson's product-moment correlation data: iris[[1]] and iris[[3]] t = 21.65, df = 148, p-value < 2.2e-16 alternative hypothesis: true correlation is not equal to 0 95 percent confidence interval: 0.8270 0.9055 sample estimates: cor 0.8718 Above the p-value comes

Dear all Is there an easy way to display only one half (top-right or bottom-left) of a correlation matrix? > require(Hmisc) > rcorr(as.matrix(mtcars[ , 1:4])) mpg cyl disp hp mpg 1.00 -0.85 -0.85 -0.78 cyl -0.85 1.00 0.90 0.83 disp -0.85 0.90 1.00 0.79 hp -0.78 0.83 0.79 1.00 n= 32 P mpg cyl disp hp mpg 0 0 0 cyl 0 0 0 disp 0 0

Dear all I have a work-flow issue with lm(). When I use > lm(y1~x1, anscombe) Call: lm(formula = y1 ~ x1, data = anscombe) Coefficients: (Intercept) x1 3.0001 0.5001 I get as expected the formula, "y1 ~ x1", in the print()ed results or summary(). However, if I pass through a formula object > (form <- formula(y1~x1)) y1 ~ x1 > lm(form, anscombe) Call:

Dear all I would like to start R with Rcmdr from the cli, without tweaking Rprofile.site. This has been discussed in the past [1], but I don't see a solution that (1) could be used with any working directory and (2) would avoid starting Rcmdr on every R start-up. Personally I tried the following, which starts R but not Rcmdr liv at liv-laptop:~$ R --interactive -e 'require(Rcmdr)'

Dear all Is there any R function that would perform currency conversion using up-to-date exchange rates? I would be looking for a function that allows to download recent exchange rates (say, from Yahoo!) and then use these in converting currencies (say, USD to EUR). I am not sure whether r-sig-finance would be more appropriate, but the (off-)topic feels general enough to me. Thank you Liviu --

Dear all Is there a clean plyr version of the following by() and do.call(rbind, ...) construct: > df<-data.frame(a=1:10,b=11:20,c=21:30,grp1=c("x","y"),grp2=c("x","y"),grp3=c("x","y")) > dfsum<-by(df[c("a","b","c")], df[c("grp1","grp2","grp3")], range) >

Dear all Is it possible to set globally the option .progress = "text" to all the apply functions in 'plyr'. For example, current default is daply(..., .progress = "none"). I would like to set it to daply(..., .progress = "text"), so as to avoid writing the argument every time I call such a function. I looked into ?daply and ?create_progress_bar without much
