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, 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, When generating pdf documentation for a package (using R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf), is there a way to get the date to use the typical international standard of day month year instead of the US one of month day, year?

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

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

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, 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

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'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.

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 ./

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

Dear All, The "clients.txt" file of the latest Rserve package, by Simon Urbanek, says, regarding its R client, "(...) a simple R client, i.e. it allows you to connect to Rserve from R itself. It is very simple and limited, because Rserve was not primarily meant for R-to-R communication (there are better ways to do that), but it is useful for quick interactive connection to an

Dear All, I've read Thomas Lumley's fortune "If the answer is parse() you should usually rethink the question.". But I am not sure it that also applies (and why) to other situations (Lumley's comment http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/05/02/12204.html was in reply to accessing a list). Suppose I have similarly called functions, except for a postfix. E.g. f.1 <-

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, 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 =

Dear All, I have a list, where several components are NULL, and I'd like to obtain that very same list without the NULL components (i.e., I do not want to unlist or otherwise loose the rest of the list structure). I can do that with a loop, but how could I do it without a loop? Thanks, Ram?n -- Ram?n D?az-Uriarte Bioinformatics Unit Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Oncol?gicas (CNIO)

Maybe this is dumb, but I seem to be having problems reading a file saved in R v. 0.99 into R 0.90.1 (in a different machine). I did >save(test1, file="test1.RData") then I tried to read that data file in R 0.90.1: >load("test1.RData") Error in load("test1.RData") : restore file corrupted -- no data loaded More info: - both machines are running Linux;

Dear All, I am having trouble getting an R package to build and install correctly under Windows. In this package, which builds and checks OK under Linux, I use zlib (among other functions, gzprintf). As mentioned by Prof. Ripley a while back, the file "CHANGES" under src/gnuwin32 says explains that to, to use zlib, one has to set $(ZLIB_LIBS) in PKG_LIBS. I have a Makefile.win with
