Does R, or will R, be integrating the changes to the Chambers/Lucent S language under their version 5.0? If not already, then when?

Dear R-Developers, The traffic today on s-news where Terry Therneau, I, and others are reporting some of the problems we have had using or converting applications to SV4 reminded me of something Duncan Temple Lang had mentioned to me a year ago that I wanted to follow up on. I recall that Duncan said either that if SV4 were to be implemented in R that it would not be the default behavior, or

I have been writing quick and dirty S-plus code for years, but for a recent project I took the plunge, bought Venables and Ripley's S Programming, and implemented a class library using new style classes (in S-Plus 6.0). It worked quite nicely and I am wondering about making more routine use of them. Before I make much more of an investment, I have a few questions, both factual and subjective,

Dear R and S people: Yet another dorky question (YADQ), please: Where can I find the data sets from Chambers' green book, please? I've tried http://cm.bell-labs.com/stat/Sbook (web site, no data or even pointers....functions and articles...good ones) http://cm.bell-labs.com/stat/project/icmanuf no web site at all. Thanks in advance!

Just to let everyone know: John Chambers R book is no longer at pre-order status on Amazon which is a good thing. The only problem is that now it is temporarily out of stock. There must have been many pre-orders so now I'm kicking myself for not having done that. Mark

Dear Martin, Since no one else has picked up on this, I?ll take a crack at it: The proposal is to define the S3 class of model-frame objects as c(?model.frame?, ?data.frame?) (not the formal class of these objects, even though this feature was coincidentally introduced in S4). That?s unlikely to do harm, since model frames would still ?inherit? data.frame methods. It's possible that some

Dear R-Users, I'm currently studying the book Statistical model in S by Chambers J.M and Hastie T.J.. At page n 3 there's a plot showing the means of a variable at each of the levels of the factors of an experiment. I hope to be able to reproduce it here by ASCII art.

Dear R-helpers: My question is how do I efficient and valid correct for multiple tests in a repeated measurement design: Suppose we measure at two distinct visits with repeated subjects a treatment difference on the same variable. The treatment differences are assessed with a mixed model and adjusted by two methods for multiple tests: # 1. Method: Adjustment with library(multcomp)

Hi, I want to look for some detailed explanation on the properties of Q-Q plot and how the properties are derived. In R, there is the following reference. Becker, R. A., Chambers, J. M. and Wilks, A. R. (1988) The New S Language. Wadsworth & Brooks/Cole. Somebody also mentioned the following book chapter to me. Chambers et al., Graphical methods for Data Analysis, Ch.6. But both books are

I am new to R and am currently gathering reference books. In 'An Introduction to R' I have read the following: "For R, the basic reference is 'The New S Language: A Programming Environment for Data Analysis and Graphics' by Richard A. Becker, John M. Chambers and Allan R. Wilks. The new features of the 1991 release of S (S version 3) are covered in 'Statistical Models in

Most books on R I come across describe running statistical procedures in R. Any suggestions on a good book that teaches *programming* in R?

When formula() is applied to the output of model.frame() it ignores the formula in the model.frame's 'terms' attribute: > d <- data.frame(A=log(1:6), B=LETTERS[rep(1:2,c(2,4))], C=1/(1:6), D=rep(letters[25:26],c(4,2)), Y=1:6) > m0 <- model.frame(data=d, Y ~ A:B) > formula(m0) Y ~ A + B > `attributes<-`(terms(m0), value=NULL) Y ~ A:B This is in part

Anybody know where I can get the Pinheiro/Bates book? I can't find a bookstore w/ stock and the publisher says they don't know when they'll have it again. Thanks. -Frank

Hi R people: On page 235 of the Blue Book (Becker, Chambers, and Wilks), there is a "compose2" function. compose2 <- function(f,g) { gg <- substitute(g1(x)) print(gg) gg[[1]] <- g ff <- substitute(f1(y)) print(ff) ff[[1]] <- f ff[[2]] <- gg print(ff) fun <- function(x){ NULL } fun[[2]] <- ff fun } However, when I run this function using sum

Dear R People: I'm sure that this is a very silly question, but I'm reading the Software for Data analysis book by John Chambers, and I can't find the "Declination" data that he refers to on page 15 in the book. I did all of the usual stuff: library(help=SoDA) ??Declination looked for it online but to no avail. Has anyone else run into this, please? Any help would be

Dear R and S list members: I've just published a book entitled An R and S-PLUS Companion to Applied Regression. The book introduces R and S-PLUS in the context of linear and generalized-linear models, and assumes familiarity with -- or a simultaneous course or text on -- these topics. I thought that the book might be of interest to the members of these lists or to their students. More

Greetings all, Just a quick heads up that there is a Slashdot thread this morning on Open Source Math Software for Education, which includes references to R and Dirk's Quantian distribution (among others). The thread is at: http://ask.slashdot.org/askslashdot/04/12/13/2355258.shtml?tid=185&tid=4 The OP's query was targeted for high school to first year college age students, but as

Hi, I have got to my hands an excellent book by Michael J. Crawley ``Statistical Computing: An Introduction to Data Analysis using S-Plus'' (John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, ISBN 0-471-56040-5). Its beauty for me is in the fact, that it is more of ``An Introduction to Data Analysis'' than ``using S-Plus'', but I guess that it may be of interest for many others. Most of the

I appeal to those entrusted with the keeping of the R flame, the S flame, and the S-Plus flame to relate a bit of history. How did S, S-Plus, and R get their names? Going from S to S-Plus appears clear, a commercial company purchased rights to S, developed a product that they wanted to indicate was related to S, but was more fully developed. This leaves me with only a rumor how S got its original
