Is there some neat way of storing the printed representation of an object as a character string? I can see how it could be done via disk using sink() and then scan(), but that's ugly. Something like Lisp-Stat's "with-output-to-string" macro perhaps? David Firth Phone +44 1865 278544 Nuffield College Fax +44 1865 278621 Oxford OX1

I suppose this could be described as a feature (it seems to be similar in S-Plus), but it looks to me more like a bug. Why can't the assignment below to a row of "emptyframe" (or "anotherframe") be made? This with R --vanilla (version info below).

Is there a straightforward way to convert character information from decimal representation to the octal one used by R? I'd like something like a function ascii(number,base=10), such that > ascii(91) [1] "\133" I can easily do the mapping from 91 to 133, but what is a good way to operate on 133 to deliver "\133"? Would a lookup table be a better solution? David

I am making my first attempts at using some Fortran code with R, and so far it's going OK. To print from my Fortran programs, it seems I need subroutines dblepr, realpr and intpr. From the excellent "Writing R Extensions" document: "Three subroutines are provided to ease the output of information from FORTRAN code. subroutine dblepr(label, nchar, data, ndata)

Hi David, I hope all is well w/ you. Co-operation beetwen R and Ox would be most welcome. A possible problem lies in the fact that, although free for academic use, Ox is not open source. I too have been using Ox for computer-intensive programming. I also code some of my programs in C, but I always try Ox first, and in most cases it is efficient enough. For details, see

I am aware of the nice R package "logspline", which does smooth density estimation from interval-censored data (that is, values that are known to lie in a specified interval rather than known exactly). Function logspline.fit uses a maximum penalized likelihood method, with the penalty related to the number of knots used in a cubic regression-spline fit. I need to be able to do some

Is there a way to make an FXTable''s column widths (and row heights) unchangeable by the user? By experimentation it looks to me like leaving out TABLE_COL_SIZABLE and TABLE_ROW_SIZABLE from the options field in FXTable.new() has no effect. I can still drag the intersection between two column heading buttons to change the column width. The code I''m using to test this is

I want to set up a simple Tk dialog interface to a function in R, such that when the "OK" button is pressed, the dialog window is destroyed and then R does its work on the data/parameters/whatever that were entered in the dialog. The function "test" below is a simple prototype. My problem: upon running test() and hitting "OK", R does its work (ie, computes

When I empty and refill an FXTable multiple times with a large data set (10,000 rows x 1 column in the example below, around 1000 rows x 6 columns in a more complicated app), the application eventually fails with a segmentation fault. The number of repetitions required to produce the segfault is rather random, ranging from just a couple reps to 15 or 20 in some trials. The program disappears

Dear R-Help List, I'm trying to implement Firth's (1993) bias correction for log-linear models. Firth (1993) states that such a correction can be implemented by supplementing the data with a function of h_i, the diagonals from the hat matrix, but doesn't provide further details. I can see that for a saturated log-linear model, h_i=1 for all i, hence one just adds 1/2 to each count,

No, blas/veclib is tested, so aprt this extreme case you should report some other more commonly used cases in which something fails on OS X. This will help us to work it out. As said, I'll try some tests without using veclib and let you know. I've fowarded this mail to r-devel, which seems to be the right place, so for future msg on the subject please use r-devel. stefano On

This is some kind of follow-up to my previous posts. I have further improved the speed of my program 6 times by eliminating all the apply(). It turns out that apply is slow, is slower than direct loop, it is an order slower than a matrix operation alternative. Here is one example. The first apply version runs 19 seconds, the second loop version runs 13 seconds, the third matrix version runs 1

Hi List I am hoping that someone here could perhaps give me a straight answer on a question that someone asked me today I have always belived that if you have 5 hard drives 1 50gb second 50gb third 20gb fourth 60gb firth 30gb that the largest would then be the size of the smallest disk, not 80 or 100 or 120 for that matter or am I wrong here?
