There needs to be more recognition in the academic community of the importance of contributions to widely used software. While many organizations are encouraging software development if it generates revenue, it is harder to measure the value of software that you give away. It is often hard to measure the number of users, so unless they mention you in citations, there is little hard evidence to

CentOS4 standard installation. I see that KwifiManager doesn't support 128 bit WEP which I need for other machines on the network, which is a bit of a blow - and rather surprising really as security should be quite a consideration on an enterprise level system (NB RH!). Is there a workaround? An alternative way of configuring my Belkin F5D6020 ver 2 card? eg a cvs download that I can get

Is there a way to get the axes labels for a persp() plot to show the actual values employed? ticktype='detailed' only shows a scale from 0 to 1. My values are (for example) y in 0.2-0.7, x in 450-560 and I would like to suppress the z labels. How can I get the x and y values to appear on the plot? R-2.3.1, Windows XP Home.

I need to run a Java-enabled Firefox on my CentOS4.1-powered laptop and it *was* running fine. Then yesterday I up2date'd the box and Firefox went from 1.0.4 to 1.0.6. And I lost Java. I can't seem to re-install it, whether from the original (1.5.0 I think it was) or the latest downloads. This is crucially important as I need to access my Dell RAC. Can anyone advise how to get

I am trying to extract into a scalar the value of Phi from the printed output of gls or lme using corAR1 correlation. ie I want the estimate of the autocorrelation. I can't see how to do this and haven't seen it anywhere in str(model.lme). I can get all the other information - fixed and random effects etc. Is there an obvious way so that I can save the brick wall some damage? TIA

I have just loaded up CentOS4.1 on a PE1850 with twin Intel x86_64's. When I came to clean out those packages I didn't want (because some always creep in however careful you are), apart from those with dependencies, I notice a lot of cases where there are two packages of the same name installed - one clearly an x86 package and one an x86_64 package. eg apr Is this intentional and if it

I am trying to extract the solution from a simple lme calculation. For example (the first 4 have a mean 0, sd 1): > y<-c(-1.118,-.5,.5,1.118,10) > gp<-factor(c(rep('one',4),'two')) > res<-lme(y~1,rand=~1|gp) Linear mixed-effects model fit by REML Data: NULL Log-restricted-likelihood: -8.67141 Fixed: y ~ 1 (Intercept) 4.962502 Random effects:

Dear list Having just started to use the Windows version, I am very impressed with it's package handling as well as the gui. So I tried to see what was due for update and packages such as Hmisc, Matrix and others came up. But when I had updated them - which took a few goes as something hung between here and Bristol - I noticed that the default packages such as nmle, MASS had disappeared. I

Does the Windows box have the same version of R

I am trying to get a measure of how R compares in usage as a statistical platform compared to other software. I would guess it is the most widely used among statisticians at least by virtue of it being open source. But is there any study to which I can refer? By asking this list I am not exactly adopting a rigorous approach! Best wishes John John Logsdon

I have boxes on CentOS 4.2 that I want to move to CentOS5. Are there any problems envisaged in trying to move 4.2->4.3, 4.3->4.4 and 4.4->5.0, using yum upgrade and changing the repositories at each stage? I guess it is not too good an idea to try it in one step. Or do I need the CDs? Can anyone advise? TIA Best wishes John John Logsdon "Try to

R-ists Yet again Java rears its ugly head. I have Kubuntu 7.04 running the Kubuntu-repository version of R 2.4.1-1. Yes it isn't the very latest version but this is not the issue here. I want a Windows-like environment and everyone is talking about JGR. I downloaded it and installed it along with rJava. Both compile and install satisfactorily. But when I come to run it: >

Hi I am having trouble compiling some 2.6 kernels on a x86_64 box under CentOS4.1. I cannot use xconfig at all and menuconfig on my system is unreadable. It appears to be something to do with the Qt library but I have all the necessary bits installed: qt-devel-3.3.3-9.3 qt-3.3.3-9.3 but note that the second of these only is installed both for x86 and x86_64 - the first is installed for x86_64

I have an ordering and factor problem to which there must be a simple solution! The version is R 2.0.1 (2004-11-15) on A Linux platform. A data frame H is read in from a .csv file using read.csv with as.is=TRUE. Another data frame HN is constructed from data and I want to compare two columns both named ss of the (sorted) data frames that are the same length. The problem is that HN$ss is

Dear all Can anyone tell me, does CentOS4.2 include a wifi manager that will handle 128 bit WEP out of the box, so to speak? The version of kwifimanager with 4.1 would only do 64 bit due to an oversight at KDE Towers...
