The reasons are roughly summarized by the analogy that a smaller part of a big pie is often better than a bigger part of a small pie. Mathsoft's limited success in addressing the student market has

After several nice and informative discussions with Bill Venables, Duncan Temple Lang, Tony Rossini, Martin Maechler, and Robert Gentleman, I am pleased to announce that I am becoming an R user and have begun porting the Hmisc and Design libraries to R. I have been very impressed with the maturity of R and with its logical design, particularly its online documentation setup and the way packages

I would like to introduce R to the statistical community at large in the Washington, D.C. area. I will be giving a presentation, a part of which will be devoted to a discussion of R, before the Washington Statistical Society (WSS) on 15 October. Anyone residing in the D.C. area is welcomed to come. Also, if a developer should have plans of being Washington and would

Great news! Having spent a significant amount of time porting/mantaining some packages on S4/Splus 5.x and R, I'm interested in your experience as you port Hmisc and Design; I'd like to know of your progress in order to help improve available R/Splus portability tools both at the C and the S language code. These tools include the package SLanguage written by John Chambers, and

I was looking for an R function to turn a matrix into a LaTeX table; did an R site search using Jon Barron's machine and turned up the latex() function in the Hmisc package. But the Hmisc package is an Splus package, and appears not to be available for R --- there is no hint of it in the list of contributed packages on CRAN. I had a look at the Hmisc package (via statlib) and there was no

Hello, I am looking for an explanation and/or fix for a discrepancy in the behaviour of the R lm.influence() function [ version R 1.5.0 (2002-04-29) ] and the same function in Splus [ Splus version 5.1 release 1, running on SGI IRIX 6.2]. The discrepancy is of concern because I am migrating some Splus scripts to R and need to ensure consistency of results. Specifically, when I fit a glm()

The Hmisc and Design libraries have been updated respectively to versions 1.4-2 and 1.1-1. New versions for Linux/Unix/Windows may be obtained from http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/s/library/r . Web sites for the libraries are http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/s/Hmisc.html and http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/s/Design.html . Thanks to Xiao Gang Fan for porting the libraries

I thought R users might be interested (surprised) to hear that R will have some competition on Linux now.

No. One use for setting mfg is to produce a page of plots in portrait orientation with, say, two small plots on the top half of the page

list.files() (and dir()) don't appear to return names of directories when one uses the recursive=T argument. E.g., > dir(file.path(R.home(),"library"), pattern="^R$", recursive=T) [1] "Malmig/help/R" but the unix find commmand finds lots of R directories > z <- system(paste("find", file.path(R.home(),"library"), "-name

Dear R Gurus Just started on R ! Using xYplot from Hmisc (R 1.9, W2K) I get a grey/blue background that I would like to change to white (ie no background) or may be to another color. Tried to do that with par(bg) but only changed the color of the trellis heading. What's the right command to do that ? Kind regards, JL PS if anyone has nice default settings for win device please let me

Chris, I can provide some personal experience, in that RedHat Linux has not only operated well, and is remarkably easy to set up, but seems to work as well as any Linux distribution with R. The default X-Windows setup looks pretty similar to MS Windows, which may make the transition easier. In fact, it was the on/off - finally off attitude of MathSoft toward producing a Linux version of S-Plus
