Dear All, With a colleague we are writing a paper where we show how R is a very nice tool to deal with some issues in the analyses of data in evolutionary biology. For the intro, I wonder if 1) Anybody has any rough idea of how many people might be using R or how many people have downloaded R, or similar (I am aware answering this question might require divinatory powers...). 2) Have/are any

Dear All, The help for prcomp, under "Value" says: sdev: the standard deviation of the principal components (i.e., the eigenvalues of the cov matrix, though the calculation is actually done with the singular values of the data matrix). The way I read it, it implies that the sdev are the eigenvalues, but I think that sdev is actually the square root of the

Dear all, I am trying to prepare some figures where I'd like the color of the plot region (i.e., the area bounded by the axes) to be different from the margin area (i.e., the area of the figure not within the axes region). I can use "bg" but that changes the background of everything? How can I accomplish what I want? Thanks, Ramon -- Ramón Díaz-Uriarte Triana 47 28016 Madrid

Dear All, I am having problems making and using the standalone library, after succesfully installing R from the tar.gz file (I am using Linux, with R-patched, but I have similar problems with R-devel). First, when I do: root at ligarto:/usr/lib/R-patched/src/nmath/standalone > make .... ar: mlutils.o: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [libRmath.a] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory

Dear All, I want to use R's random number in a C++ program (I can link libRmath either as shared or static library). I have two questions: 1. If I understand correctly, the underlaying random number generator will be Marsaglia-multicarry, UNLESS I provide my own. In other words (unless I provide it) I cannot use some of the other RNG's available from within R, such as Mersenne-Twister?

Dear All, In the title of a plot, I would like to mix greek letters with numbers, where the numbers are obtained from a particular function to a vector (e.g., max(x)); in each call, the value of this vector can change. Without greek symbols I use something like: title(sub=paste("x1=", deparse(x[1]),"beta = ",deparse(max(x)), "rho = ", deparse(min(x)))) but I'd

Dear All, A library (PHYLOGR) that passed the usual tests in R-1.1.1 gives errors with R-devel; my (mis?)understanding of scoping rules is that it should have worked in both. The problems seem related to using the name of the data frame for extracting weights or subsets within a function call. The problems can be reproduced as follows: ********************** datai <- data.frame( y =

Is it appropriate to use stepAIC (library MASS) with coxph objects (from library survival5) that use "cluster(id)"? It is my understanding that, when using "cluster(id)", we can test for sets of terms by using the methods in Wei et al., (1989; JASA, 84: 1065-1073), or as explained in pp. 53 and ff. of the survival.ps document. But if we use a likelihood ratio test instead

I noticed this error in my demo from previous versions as well as R 0.99.0. Is there a way around this one also?

Dear All, I think I am confused about how I'd be able to use zlib starting with R 2.7.0. I just downloaded the latest development version, built it, etc, but I am not able to find the zlib.h that, I believe, R should place somewhere under "where/you/want/R/to/go" (from --prefix=/where/you/want/R/to/go). There seem to be entry points for zlib in the binary (e.g., grep -r gzopen ./

Hello, I'd like to ask whether there is a prefered linux distribution for use with R (Suse, Redhat, Debian) and what fortran compiler is recommended (f77 or f2c)?

Dear All, I just apt-get source r-base-core and noticed that file "rules" under ./r-base-3.2.4-revised/debian contains (lines 277 to 279) --with-system-bzlib \ --with-system-pcre \ --with-system-zlib \ I wonder if these are still necessary and, in fact, when building R alpha (specifically, R-alpha_2016-03-21_r70361.tar.gz) I get a warning saying that those options are not

Hi, I am new to Linux. I recently installed R (0.64.1 using rpm for Red Hat 6.0); then I installed several libraries. When following the steps in VR complements to R, everything worked fine but I got the following messages (this happened for every single one of the libraries installed): make: *** Warning: File /usr/lib/R/etc/Makeconf' has modification time in the future

Dear All, Summary: ======== To test some packages, I want to build R-3.1.0 (current R devel). However, when I use the default libblas, make check fails with running code in 'reg-BLAS.R' ...make[3]: *** [reg-BLAS.Rout] Error 1 It does not fail, however, if I use libatlas3 or libopenblas. The same thing happens with the current R patched. I've google around and cannot find

Dear All, I'd like to be able to have R store (in a list component) a compressed data set, and then write it out uncompressed. gzcon and gzfile work in exactly the opposite direction. What would be a good way to handle this? Details: ---------- We have a package that uses C; part of the C output is a large sparse matrix. This is never manipulated directly by R, but always by the C code.
