I want to cite R for an article. What is the right thing to do? Shall I include "Notes on R" or is there a better way? -- mailto:koloska at rcs.urz.tu-dresden.de http://rcswww.urz.tu-dresden.de/~koloska/ -- -- right now the web page is in german only but this will change as time goes by ;-)

I'm using R for calculations and plots in a statistical paper. Is there a canonical reference to use in the bibliography?

Dear R users, That's probably a silly question even for a newbie but : Is it possible to assign variable prices as variable names ? For instance, would something like the following work : for (i in 1:4) { error.i <- some_calculation } so "error.i" variables would be created for i=1,2,3,4 i.e. error.1 error.2 error.3 etc. etc. Costas --

Dear R-users I am introducing my collegue to R and she is interested to use R to perform Polytomous Logistic Regression called also Multi-category logistic regression. Is there any program in R doing this? Thank you so much for any feedback.

(I dithered a bit about whether this belongs on r-help (as part of it is a general R question) or r-devel (as it's a question relating to putting stuff on CRAN) but decided it might be of general enough interest to go on the former ) I am currently preparing an R library to estimate approximate posterior distributions for parameters in Generalised Linear Mixed Models by Gibbs Sampling

Hello, I have found a problem with using the glm function with a gamma family. I have a vector of data, assumed to be generated by a gamma distribution. The parameters of this gamma distribution are estimated in two ways (i) using the glm() function, (ii) "by hand", using the optim() function. I find that the -2*likelihood at the maximum found by (i) is substantially larger than that

Is there a way to "unplug" the windows graphics from R, so that it will work across a teletype telnet session or in a Linux box proving resistant to having windows added to it?

I have C routines in a collection of files "/homef/jonm/postdocs/GLMM_project/Cprogs/nn/misc.o" "/homef/jonm/postdocs/GLMM_project/Cprogs/nn/random.o" "/homef/jonm/postdocs/GLMM_project/Cprogs/nn/ars.o" ... etc , where the third file includes functions which call functions in the second. In S, the function > gload function() {

Hello, I've had a quick look on the list and can't find an answer to this niggle. Whilst debugging some code, I noticed that looping variables in R are not local to the loop as seams common in procedural languages. For example consider the following piece of code: for(i in 1:3){ cat(i,"") for(i in c("a","b","c")){ cat(i,"")

Is there a platform-independent way of checking in R whether a given file exists in the user's filespace?

When reading comma-delimited files as saved from a spreadsheet (unfortunately many of my scientific collaborators give me these) in read.table(), missing values are spotted most of the time. Unfortunately when comma is the first character on the line it gets it wrong. For example, reading the file 1,,3 ,5,6 ,8,9 with read.table("test.dat", header=F, sep=",") R gives

Changing from 0.64.1 to 0.64.2 is causing some dynamically-loaded code to crash with the message: ld.so.1: /usr/local/lib/R/bin/R.binary: fatal: relocation error: file /homef/jonm/glib/ggg/libs/glmm.so: symbol R_chk_calloc: referenced symbol not found (I've added carriage returns) what am I doing wrong?

Hi Does anyone know of any R coding/functions for MCMC approaches? I am currently using BUGS but I wonder if the bazaar has produced anything?
