similar to: putting output from print() into a string?

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)

I am having a little problem in relation to sending output to the R Console window, when a function is called by pushing a button in a Tk window. Actually there seem to be two components to the problem: -- the R prompt does not re-appear until <return> is pressed -- text output to the R Console window *disappears* after <return> is pressed The following, in R 1.1.1 under

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 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).

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

Q: Is there an easy way to plot log histograms? The command "hist" draws a standard histogram with observed frequency on the y-axis. I would like to be able to draw the log frequency on the y-axis, but I can't see whether I can use "hist" for this. The purpose of such a plot is to see whether data are normal or Laplace or something else. - and the same question for

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

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

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?

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
