This is a follow-up to bug sent to days ago, which bounced from r-devel because the example was to large. Now example is smaller, and behaviour is as belo, EXEPT that r-windows not any more bombs, so main problem is "xpdrows.data.frame"??? By the way, how to debug this example under windows? debug() doesnt accept the functions used (.Primitive), and R wont run under gdb --- may have

I have a txt file (attached) that defines equivalents among characters in latin1 (or iso-8859-1), numeric &#xxx; codes, HTML entities and latex equivalents. A portion of the file is shown inline below, but may not be rendered well in this email. I'd like to read this into R to use as a character translation table, but am stuck on two things: - The 5 fields in the file are

The NEWS file for R-1.7.0 says: table() now allows exclude= with factor arguments (requested by Michael Friendly). But in a recent R-1.7.1beta: > test <- c(1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,NA,NA,1,2,3,4,5) > table(test) test 1 2 3 4 5 3 3 3 3 3 > table(test, exclude=NULL) test 1 2 3 4 5 <NA> 3 3 3 3 3 2 > table( as.factor(test), exclude=NULL) 1 2

Hola! I ask here since I learnt from this list that the LaTeX package listings should be good for typesetting R code. I encountered one problem: \begin{lstlisting} X %*% V \end{lstlisting} in the output the * in %*% disappears! same with %/%, etc, the / disappears. Any ideas? Kjetil -- Kjetil Halvorsen.

I just discovered that when the VGAM package (not on CRAN) is loaded, glm() doesn't work. This is because VGAM defines a family function() which gets found by glm() in place of the family function from stats. Then VGAM:::family returns an object which doesn't have a $family component, (it has a component $vfamily). I thought namespaces should protect us from this happening? Kjetil --

I found the need of converting a matrix into a list of its columns (for use with do.call), and was surprised there was no method as.list.matrix, it could easily be a part of as.list default I wrote my.as.list.matrix <- function(mat) { if(!is.matrix(mat))stop("Argument must be a matrix") n <- NCOL(mat) res <- vector(mode="list", length=n)

I encountered something strange with read.spss (package foreign, version 0.7 with R2.0.0 and version 0.8 with R2.0.1 beta, windows XP) I made a test file test.sav with SPSS version 11.5.1 containing only one numeric variable, with a value label for one value not occuring in the file. According to ?read.spss this should result in a factor, but it results in all NA. Using the argument

Hola! The R FAQ says: 7.12 How do I convert factors to numeric? It may happen that when reading numeric data into R (usually, when reading in a file), they come in as factors. If f is such a factor object, you can use as.numeric(as.character(f)) to get the numbers back. More efficient, but harder to remember, is as.numeric(levels(f))[as.integer(f)] In any case, do not call as.numeric()
