This may have been announced before but there are now both Debian GNU/Linux and RedHat Linux packages for R-0.61 on the CRAN archive sites. The master site for CRAN is http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/R/ That site provide a list of available mirror sites. Within the CRAN archive sites the pre-compiled packages for Linux are located in the bin/i386-linux directory. Under RedHat you can install

Tony Rossini sent me a copy of Jim's message to this list asking about nlme. I was surprised to find that I had not subscribed to this list. I thought I did but apparently not. I have now corrected that. Development of the nlme library (the name is from "nonlinear mixed-effects" but the library can also be used to fit general forms of linear mixed-effects models) is a continuing

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

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 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 <- ##

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: >

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.

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

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
