Dear all; Installing the GLMMGibbs package to my Solaris Unix box, I got an compiling error: ars.c:497:10: missing terminating " character ars.c: In function `dump_arse': ars.c:498: error: parse error before "mylesj" ..... The compiling error was reported to the list on Jul 3, 2003. According to Prof. Brain Ripley this is a known problem with the package and gcc 3.3,

Sort of a warning before I start: This post may be considered to describe a rather amateurish approach to distributing software which may annoy some people, but I sincerely hope it doesn't. I've been working for some years with David Clayton on a project which started life as an S package but has now turned into an R library. It is (now) called GLMMGibbs and estimates the parameters of

I have just moved to a new workplace. I saved an R workspace into an ascii file at my old workplace and have ftp'ed it down here. Unfortunately when I try to load the get a message saying that the file is corrupted. It's a big file, but my experience suggests that this normally refers to a problem at the beginning or end of a file, so I thought it might be worth enclosing just the

Is there any way of running R in ESS using -n and -v arguments other than the default?

Is there any way of getting just the LaTex output which R CMD Rd2dvi generates on the way to produces a .dvi file, which could then be incoorporated into another document?

Hello folks, Any ideas how to do this? data.frame is a data frame with column names "x1",...,"xn" y is a response variable of length dim(data.frame)[1] I want to write a function function(y, data.frame){ lm(y~x1+...+xn) } This would be easy if n was always the same. If n is arbitrary how could I feed the x1+...+xn terms into lm(response~terms)? Thanks Richard -- Dr.

When reading comma-delimited files as saved from a spreadsheet (unfortunately many of my scientific collaborators give me these) in read.table(), missing values are spotted most of the time. Unfortunately when comma is the first character on the line it gets it wrong. For example, reading the file 1,,3 ,5,6 ,8,9 with read.table("test.dat", header=F, sep=",") R gives

Dear Wine-friends, I was wondering if any of you would have a clue around why WinBUGS (http://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/bugs/), a nifty Markov chain Monte Carlo sampler widely used in Bayesian statistical modelling, no longer works when run through any version of WINE newer than 1.1.12. I have encountered this issue of my machines at home (which runs on Zenwalk 6.0) and work (Mandriva 2008.1) a

Hi Just one of those niggles....... I've just been trying to plot a filled circle. I thought that this would do it plot(1,1,type="n") points(1,1,pch=1,bg="blue",cex=5) #bg: background ("fill") color for open plot symbols But I need to do this instead points(1.2,1,pch=19,col="blue",cex=5) Am I misunderstanding the "bg" option in the points

Is there a way to "unplug" the windows graphics from R, so that it will work across a teletype telnet session or in a Linux box proving resistant to having windows added to it?

Is there a platform-independent way of checking in R whether a given file exists in the user's filespace? (so in a unix system, can you check within R whather, say, /homef/jonm/thisfile exists) Thanks Jonathan Myles -- Dr. Jonathan Myles e-mail:jonathan.myles at mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk MRC Biostatistics Unit Tel. 01223 330372 Institute of Public Health FAX 01223 330388

(I dithered a bit about whether this belongs on r-help (as part of it is a general R question) or r-devel (as it's a question relating to putting stuff on CRAN) but decided it might be of general enough interest to go on the former ) I am currently preparing an R library to estimate approximate posterior distributions for parameters in Generalised Linear Mixed Models by Gibbs Sampling

Hello All, I'd like to create diagrams for dynamic web-pages via a cgi-script that itself uses R. Sadly, I found out that the png and jpeg devices need an X-server :-( , so I cannot use these nice devices. Does any one have any experience using R for on-the-flycreation of graphics for web-pages pages? Any suggestions for workarounds? thanks very much for help, Arne -- Arne Mueller

Changing from 0.64.1 to 0.64.2 is causing some dynamically-loaded code to crash with the message: ld.so.1: /usr/local/lib/R/bin/R.binary: fatal: relocation error: file /homef/jonm/glib/ggg/libs/glmm.so: symbol R_chk_calloc: referenced symbol not found (I've added carriage returns) what am I doing wrong?

Hello, In WinBUGS 1.4 manual (http://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/bugs/winbugs/manual14.pdf), the gamma density is presented as dgamma(r,mu) where r and mu are the shape and rate parameters, respectively. In JAGS (rjags) manual version 1.0.2, May 9, 2008 (http://www-fis.iarc.fr/~martyn/software/jags/jags_user_manual.pdf), on page 26 the gamma density is presented as dgamma(mu,r) instead of dgamma(r,mu).

Hello, I've had a quick look on the list and can't find an answer to this niggle. Whilst debugging some code, I noticed that looping variables in R are not local to the loop as seams common in procedural languages. For example consider the following piece of code: for(i in 1:3){ cat(i,"") for(i in c("a","b","c")){ cat(i,"")

Hello, I've just started R, and I'm getting a bit mad using it. I've managed to produce a barplot with the labels for the ytick marks placed horizontally (perpendicular to the y-axis) usiing par(las=1). The problem is that most of my labels are in part beyond the plotting area because they are rather long (e.g. "H. sapiens", "D. melanogaster" ...). What is the
