similar to: R or S+ !

I am currently using S+, which is my company standard econometric package, but unfortunately in some areas R has a lot more to offer in nice functions/libraries. Libraries I would like to use in S+. So I would like to use the R functions by calling on R from S+. For example export the data to be used in the R calculation in a temporary txt-file, and then S+ calls on R to start and read the txt

This is not a criticism. I'm just curious. Is there an effort to keep R comparable to S+? Or are the two languages diverging? I am doing what probably legions have done before me, and legions will after me...using R on examples from text books written with S+ code. Most of the time everything appears to be equivalent. And then there are amazing divergences in commands. For instance: S:

R-wizards I have successfully run with S+ a statistical power calculation for non-normal distributions as presented in M. Crawley?s new book.? When I tried the newest version of R on the same code, the $ parse statement doesn't seem to retrieve the appropriate number from a table. Note that some of the cosmetic differences in the two tables have to be dealt with by the parser. Any ideas

Dear [R] members, Can you provide me with the exact URL where can i find ForTran Compilers [ free / commercial / trial / shareware / evaluation copy ] for WINDOWS [ Preferable ] or DOS ; and some source codes of different kind of Statistical calculation making programs made / coded in ForTran ? And how can i use a program (coded in ForTran) in R console ? Can i do it in S+

I would like to know if there is an easy way to transfer all the data from a S+ directory (".Data" or "_data") to an R image? I would like to transfer all the functions and all the data sets (data frames, vectors, lists, etc.). I'm working under Windows NT and am using S+ 3.3 for Windows.

I'm just reading Modern Applied Statistics with S, 4th Ed., Venables and Ribley I'm typing in their examples in both R and S+. I need insight in the difference in the class() statement shown in Chap. 2.

Hi, I've got the R library "mgcv" for GAM written by Simon Wood which works well in many instances. However, over the years I got attached to the S+ implementation of GAM which allows loess smoothing in more than 1 dimension as well as spline smoothing. Has anyone ported the S+ GAM library to R?

Hi, Can anyone please advise if there is a neat way to 'share' libraries of (previously developed) S+ code with R? Specifically, within S+ I can use the attach(what = "<Chapter Directory>", pos = 2) command, to retrieve previously developed functions and variables to position 2 in the search list. [Some may be intentionally masked by what's in the current working

A very basic question: How can I make R read some S+ files that I had originally.

Hi list, I have bought some Cisco 7941G-GE IP phones and want to use them with asterisk. Before bying I tested the whole setup with three different models of the old 79X0 series (a 7912, 7940 and a 7960). Flashing the formerly provided SCCP-Image to SIP was no problem, but now it complains about a nonexistent CTLSEP<mac>.tlv file. Most of the howtos say something about an empty file but

Hi, I guess the answer is negative but I thought I would ask just the same: is it possible to use any of the S+ toolboxes (ARCH and wavelets, more particularly) with R? Thanks, Olivier Lefevre Union Bank of Switzerland New York, NY PS: Please cc me any reply as I am not on the list (at least not yet).

Hello All: In R 1.2.0, one can easily change characters in a string using, for example, the following command, gsub("-"," ",c("1-7-1997","12-21-1997")) [1] "1 7 1997" "12 21 1997" Is there a similar command with S+ 2000?

Your surest bet is to look into S+, not R, since the former does 'integrate' with Microsoft applications. To what extent, I don' know. This is a desirable feature (IMO) and a reason to use S+ rather then R (already discussed in different thread).

I remember in one slide of Prof. Ripley's presentation overhead, he said the most popular data analysis software is excel. So is there any resource or tutorial on this topic? Thank you so much!

Hi I've imported some data from a oracle database and the strings have a lot of blank space (because of the delimiter). I want to remove these blanks space with something similar to a trim function. I don't find a trim function or something similar. Can someone give a help on this ? Thanks EJ -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help
