Now rw0640 is released, we have achieved our main goal of being able to build easily new versions from the Unix sources, and the R functionality is as complete a copy as we can achieve easily. We are now thinking of possible enhancements, and would like your comments on the following ideas. o Use a standard MDI interface like MS Office's, say. Would you prefer an MDI interface

Version 1.2.6 of RODBC is now on CRAN. This has a number of bug fixes and many workarounds for ODBC driver quirks--I've set up further testbeds for SQL Server 2008, Oracle and DB2. More visibly, the documentation has been expanded in several ways, in particular in collecting together advice on using 'schemas' and 'catalogs' in the ?RODBC overview. There is also a test

This example is caused by R's messing with formula environments. That's explained in ?formula, but should it not be explained in ?model.frame ? Simple test: data <- data.frame(y=rnorm(100), x=1:100) testit <- function(formula) { weights <- runif(100) glm(formula, weights=weights, data=data) } testit(y ~ x) weights is looked for in the environment of the formula, not of

(1) There are no lists here! You have numeric vectors, not lists. (2) The normal vector-recycling rules apply. It does 1 == 4, 2 == 5, 3 == 4, 4 == 5, 5 == 4, .... Try > 1:10 == 5:4 [1] FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE (3) For what you appear to want > x %in% 4:5 [1] FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE is the way to get it.

Hi to R developers. In the "Details:" section of "?levels", it would be nice including the following sentence, taken from a reply from Brian Ripley: If you set two levels to be the same label, they get merged. Granted, the "Examples:" section does have a terse comment and examples from which users may imply this behaviour. Yet, the documentation would be

I suspect Prof. Ripley's response suffices. However, there *is* a Parzen kernel for kernel smoothing: Parzen K(z) = { 4/3 - 8z^2 + 8|z|^3 if |z| <= 1/2 8(1 -|z|)^3/3 if 1/2 < |z| <= 1 0 otherwise If I'm not mistaken, this appeared in Parzen's original 1962 paper on kernel density estimation. I also seem to recall
