similar to: R-beta: RPM and .deb packages for R-0.61

I am trying to install a library for my linear models class. (The name "st849" comes from the course identification, Statistics 849.) # R INSTALL st849 Installing package `st849' ... funs data help >>> Building help index for package `st849' ... done. >>> Building help pages for package `st849' NONE:0: m4: ERROR: EOF in argument list RWC

I have recompiled the r-base package for Debian-2.0 with readline support. I still haven't determined why the configure script does not detect the readline library on one machine but does detect it on another where I compiled this. The package is available as ftp://franz.stat.wisc.edu/pub/R/bin/i386-linux/Debian-2.0/r-base_0.61.1-3_i386.deb and should appear on the other CRAN mirrors by

I have uploaded a Debian package r-base_0.61.0-2_i386.deb to the incoming directory at ftp.ci.tuwien.ac.at. This package is built against libc5, not libc6. Turns out that was a bit more complicated than I had hoped. I have also created an RPM file for the same binary distribution and will upload that shortly as r-base-0.61.0-2.i386.rpm. I enclose some information regarding the two packaged

While writing his '98 Interface paper Ross Ihaka was asking about the history of S so he could relate it to the history of R. I was looking at the Statistics and Information Analysis Division's web page at Bell Labs and went to their technical reports section http://cm.bell-labs.com/stat/doc/ Sure enough, there is a tech report by Rick Becker on "A Brief History of S".

As described below, external network connections to the campus of the University of Wisconsin - Madison will be either inaccessible or slow from 20:00 CST 2000/01/03 until 01:00 CST 2000/01/04. CST is our local time zone: Central Standard Time in North America. These local times correspond to 04:00 - 07:00 GMT Tuesday 2000/01/04. This planned outage will affect the r-project.org, omegahat.org,

I have been packaging both R and the R contributed libraries for the Debian GNU/Linux operating system. Right now if anyone installs Debian Linux on an Intel machine or a DEC Alpha they will have the option of installing R as a regular part of the operating system. I think this is a good way of getting wider distribution of high quality statistical software. The Linux community is growing

I am the maintainer of one of the CRAN mirrors in the U.S., cran.us.r-project.org. It appears that this site has been inaccessible since Friday. This has me puzzled because I can connect to the same machine through ssh and I can see that the http daemon (apache) is running. In fact I can make an http connection from this machine to this machine and from other machines on any of our subnets to

I am trying to show some techniques to my graduate regression class. The textbook mentioned using bootstrap samples of regression coefficients for assessing variability. I decided to show them reasonably effective ways of doing the resampling. The following is a function I wrote to create bootstrap samples of coefficients from a fitted linear regression model. bsCoefSample <- ##

So this is on Windows, then? This is documented somewhere (don't remember): If the package is not located under $R_HOME/library, then the html help will not be able to find it. Don't think there's a known work-around. Cheers, Andy > From: byandell@wisc.edu > > I did that. In fact the default uses .libPaths()[1], which I > have set to >

I did that. In fact the default uses .libPaths()[1], which I have set to "P:/stat/yandell/public/statgen/R" The package installs fine. However, the HTML search is not done properly. Again, the break occurred after installation of the package, when make.search.html() was invoked. Brian On Thu, 11 Mar 2004, Douglas Bates wrote: > Brian Yandell <byandell@wisc.edu> writes: >

Dear Dr. Bates I replied to your email before but apparently it didn't make it so I am replying again. I would really appreciate if you could send me an example on how you suggest to build a cell means model for fixed effects using the NLME library. I am not sure whether you suggest to create a separate factor for each unique combination of levels of a factor or whether you suggest to

Hi, df <- read.table("data.txt", header=T); library(nls); fm <- nls(y ~ a*(x+d)^(-b), df, start=list(a=max(df->y,na.rm=T)/2,b=1,d=0)); I was using the following routine which was giving Singular Gradient, Error in numericDeriv(form[[3]], names(ind), env) : Missing value or an Infinity produced when evaluating the model errors. I also tried the

I just uploaded to CRAN a prototype nls (nonlinear least squares) library for R. It is far from being finished but I am asking for this preliminary version to be installed in the src/contrib/Devel section of CRAN so others can see the use of function closures to emulate the behaviour of objects in languages like Java. It will be a couple of days before the file is installed in CRAN and has a

mtext(..., outer = TRUE) does not seem to center the text in the outer margins as it did previously. Reproduce with example(plot.profile.nls, package = "nls") On versions of the development sources before November 17 this produced main and subtitles that were centered horizontally on the page. After that the main title (from mtext("..", side = 3, outer = TRUE)) is centered

Dirk's mail to r-devel bounced because of his peculiar return address. He asked me to forward this for him. P.S. I have tried building R with atlas2 on a Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 system but I have not yet managed to out-fox the configure script to get it to use the desired shared object library. -- Douglas Bates bates@stat.wisc.edu Statistics Department
