Martin Your revisions to my S--R compatability code suggest that tempfile() is in R after 0.49. I don't find that to be the case. It requires code from Friedrich Leisch which still has to be added as of 0.50 alpha3.

Read this morning >>> R : Copyright 1998, Robert Gentleman and Ross Ihaka >>> Version 0.61.2 Alpha (March 15, 1998) ----- So, there still is no "R beta" around.... - If I didn't know R, would I use a statistics software, if it was still in alpha testing state? - Is this really what we want to tell people about R? More to the point: I think, we could

I've installed R on AIX. For starters, this did not work out of the box. I got the following error message: cd graphics; make gcc -g -I../include -c gdevice.c In file included from /usr/include/sys/lockf.h:41, from /local/gnu/lib/gcc-lib/rs6000-ibm-aix4.1.3.0/2.7.2.1/include/unistd.h:354, from /usr/include/fcntl.h:156, from

It does look like Gentleman and Ihaka not only lied to the New York Times, but also to the New Zealand Herald and who knows who else. This is disgusting. The R programming language is the S programming language, and Gentleman and Ihaka are not the ones who designed it. http://thenewyorktimesissloppy.blogspot.com/

Dear R-users, Is anyone successfully using leaps() and particularly subsets() (contributed function) in R? When I attempt to run them with modest matrices, R promptly faults and dumps the core. Also, how does one use subsets.formula() within subsets()? R : Copyright 1997, Robert Gentleman and Ross Ihaka Version 0.50 Alpha-4 (September 10, 1997) R-base-0.50.a4-1.i386.rpm

I know that this general question has been asked before, but I have encountered a picky reviewer. In the 'standard' reference for R: R. Gentleman and R. Ihaka (1997).

The Interface Foundation of North America. is there a geographical location for the publisher and perhaps

Hi, The R FAQ suggests that we can cite Ihaka and Gentleman (1996) in publications. Does anyone have an electronic copy of this that could be (legally) made publically available -- my library here doesn't take this journal (Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics). Otherwise, I can order it through interlibrary loan. Thanks, Stephen

In their paper, "Lexical Scope and Statistical Computing", the authors ( Gentleman and Ihaka ) go to great length explaining why R's use of lexical scoping creates advantages when doing statistical computations. If anyone has or is familiar with this paper, could they provide the main program code for how the "newton" function would be called in their example on page 500

Hola, ¿qué tal? Richard A. Becker tiene un artículo, A Brief History of S, que habla de la protohistoria de S y en el que se lee "S grew up in 1975-1976 in the statistics research departments at Bell Laboratories". Y le sigue la pista a S hasta el 93. R es una reimplementación de S. Ross Ihaka habla de sus primeros días en
