In R-beta (Masked Marvel), when I do the example from the read.pnm help file, this is what happens: x <- read.pnm(system.file("pictures/logo.pgm",package="pixmap")[1]) Warning message: In rep(cellres, length=2): x is NULL so the result will be NULL In R-2.15.3, it's all right.

Hello! Over the weekend, I updated my RcmdrPlugin.qual package. It works fine on a 64 bit Windows machine but not a 32 bit. This is very strange. The new menu with all of the Quality Control stuff does not appear. Have any of you run into this sort of thing before, please? Thanks, Sincerely, Erin Erin M.

Dear R and S People: I have run across something very strange. Here is a function that I wrote for R: boot1 <- function(y,method="f",p=1) { n1 <- length(y) n2 <- n1*p n3 <- n2 - 1 a <- 0.5*(outer(1:n3,1:n3,function(x,y){n2 - pmax(x,y)})) return(a) } and here is the R output: > y1 [1] 9 8 7 3 6 > source("boot1.R") > boot1(y=y1,p=4) [,1] [,2]

Dear R People: I'm having some trouble with mpiexec and Rmpi.

Dear Debian People: Is there a way to run a little script (on Ubuntu Manic Meerkat) every hour, please? I know that this is more of a LINUX/UNIX question rather than an R question. Sorry.

Hi R People! I'm going to be putting together a completely online undergrad business stats course (a second semester course) and was going to use R and Rcmdr. My question: has anyone else used R for an online course, please? If so, did it go well, please? Thanks in advance, Sincerely, Erin -- Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences University

Dear R Debian People: I have put this on regular R help as well, but thought that I'd try here too. I updated to R-2.10.0 on Ubuntu Karmic Koala via apt-get update, apt-get install. Then I had a problem that said that I need MASS <= R-2.9.2. Fair enough. Uwe Ligges was kind enough to point out that I needed to use > update.packges(checkBuilt=TRUE) So I did. Now the menu on Rcmdr

Dear R Development People: I was trying to build R-2.12.2 from source on a Windows XP machine. Doing the make all recommended works fine, but building the bitmap dll is a problem. It seems to be in the libpng directory. I got libpng-1.5.1, and untarred it. However, there is no makefile.mingw file in the scripts directory. I then obtained a version of libpng-1.4.5, and the file is there.

Here is the summary on predict when using an arima0 object: The arima0 object must be based on a time series vector. That is; x <- ts(xm1, frequency=12, start=c(1975,1)) x.ar <- arima0(x,order=c(1,1,1)) predict(x.ar,n.ahead=3) Thanks so much to Prof. Brian Ripley and David Brahm and other! Sincerely, Erin Hodgess
