Summary: When I use method="wget" with download.file(), I consistently get a download of the entire file. When I use method="internal", I infrequently get the entire file, but usually get only part of the file. This behavior occurs with .cdf (a weather file format - basically binary) from a UCAR site. I am not sure this is a bug, since it could be some internet

Hi, I am new to the Samba world. I have a question regarding the Windows NT/2000/XP automatically printer driver downloading. Do we, the Sysadmins, have to set up different printer entries in smb.conf to tell the Windows NT/2000/XP end users to use different printer drivers for their systems? Or Does the Samba have the capability of automatically identifying client OS, then download different

Drivers are stored in the print$ share. Under this share there are 5 folders, each for a different architecture. Under these folders may be some subfolders (e.g. print$\W32X86 has folder "2" and "3" under it). The client goes to install a shared printer and will access these folders and pull out the appropriate file. Drivers are added likewise by going to the shared printer,

Hi, We're running Samba version 1.9.16p2 under Solaris 2.5.1 (w HW update 11/97). Our PCs run Windows95 with Network Neighborhood and a few have been upgraded to Windows98. I am currently looking at upgrading to Samba 1.9.18p10. On Fri., 12/4 one of our users reported when she selecting Entire Network she received the error "Unable to browse the network. The specified computer

I'd like to apply the ideas of Pinheiro et al. (1997): "Robust Estimation in LInear Mixed Effects Models using the Multivariate t-Distribution" and I'm wondering if the EM-based estimation described in that paper has been implemented by somebody in R already (I'm assuming it's not yet available within the package nlme -- whose subtitle is "Fit and compare

We are trying to add remote PC access to a printer using Samba and the Network Neighborhood. We are running Solaris 2.5.1 on our server and our PCs are running Win95. We have installed Samba 1.9.16p2. I'm fairly new at administering Samba. The printer is a high-quality color Tektronics Phasor 450 PostScript printer named hq_color_fl2. Access to our other printers has been set up previously

During the last couple of months (at least) there has been a trickle of messages on R-help related to attributes (other than dim/dimnames) not being inherited. Example: x <- 1 class(x) <- "test" class(x+1) [returns NULL, not "test"] I have not seen a response from anyone in the R-core about this issue. Since our group uses locally-written code (in S+) that is

Hello I'm upgrading from R-1.4.1 to R-1.5.1, locally on my Linux PC running Debian. after running 'configure' this is what I get (just in case it helps figuring out what follows later...) R is now configured for i686-pc-linux-gnu Source directory: . Installation directory: /usr/local C compiler: gcc -D__NO_MATH_INLINES -mieee-fp -g -O2 C++

Hi all I have a dataset whose response is a categorical variable of the ordinal scale type (6 levels). I'm interested in building classification models, and I'm wondering if there is something implemented in R (or its packages) that I'm not aware of, to treat the ordinal scale measurements straightforwardly. I can think of the alternative of building a conditional (hierarchical)

Doh! turns out I was using a newer feature of S-PLUS that is not supported in R, or at least was generating the parse error. replace all a = b with a <- b (except in arguments, naturally ...)

I'm running R-1.4.1 on a linux debian (version 2.2) box. I've tried to upgrade to R-1.6.0, and the execution of make halts with the following error messages: make[4]: Entering directory `/home/tebaldi/R/R-1.6.0/src/library/methods' dumping R code in package 'methods' Error in testRversion(descfile) : This package has not been installed properly See the Note in ?library

Hello I have several replicates (30) of a -- short -- time series (19 obs) and I'd like to estimate the first few lags autocorrelation function. Is there an immediate way of handling multiple realizations when computing the ACF in R? I'm using R-1.4.1 on a Linux Debian box.

Does anyone know of contributions to R for solving sparse linear systems? In particular for spatial stats I am interested in solving large positive definite symmetric systems.

Hi Samba gurus, I need your help for the problem of denying the change of the print driver settings on samba. I have no any clue of this problem. Thanks for any comments and tips. Our institution has a windows 2000 active directory domain; I joined my test samba 2.2.6 on a Linux box into domain as the file/print member server. All the file sharing worked fine, but when I tried to upload

I was pleased to find integrate() using the quadpack routines "dqags" and "dqagi". However, I would also like to have the routine "dqawoe" included. This routine is summarized as follows... c***keywords automatic integrator, special-purpose, c integrand with oscillatory cos or sin factor, c clenshaw-curtis method, (end point) singularities,

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery ... I am thinking of imitating the R documentation mechanism. I have a largeish software project that needs documentation for each of the functions/modules. The ability to create html, latex, and pdf documentation from one source is very attractive. Since my collaborators already know html and latex there is little incentive to learn XML ... but

I have built R-2.0.1 on AIX64 V 6.5 on a machine that is intentionally isolated from remotely connecting to the internet -- and we'd like to keep it isolated! I have not seen anything in the FAQ's or Install Manual about shutting off or 'configuring out' the internet connectivity. ditto for './configure --help' For some reason > capabilities() jpeg png

Happy 1999! I've been celebrating the holidays by (finally) getting to the port of our S+ NetCDF routines to R, which I'm trying to make into a library. At the moment, there are two issues I'd appreciate advice on: 1. Is support for mode "single" data planned anytime soon in R? A lot of our NetCDF files contain "single" data and having to coerce into
