similar to: assignment function

Hi there, (sorry Martin, ich habe den falschen Empfaenger erwischt :-( ) Is there a function in the base package or elsewhere which returns TRUE and not NA, even if NA is involved: (I did not find in the help system :-( ) if ( x==something & !is.na(something)) or if ( x==something & !is.na(x==something)) If "something" is complicated, a function would be handy. Thanks

Hi all, May be there is a plot which shows 3 variables in a triangle, their sum being constant. I have forgotten its name, and a search in the engine using "plot" did not help. Does anyone know of such a procedure in R or S? Thank you --christian Dr.sc.math.Christian W.

Hi, Sorry to bother, but I checked around and did not succed creating a bundle from six existing packages (which are checkable, installable, etc. individually). I carefully followed the procedure given in ch. 1.1.5 Package bundles. However, I am getting hoffmann at fluke:~/R/Sources >R CMD check cwhmisc * checking for working latex ...

Hi, Using help under help.start() is working fine (html) Q1: using > ?solve results in the message "sh: ~/R/tmp/R4f32S1cfb: cannot open" displayed in the XEmacs buffer "help[R](solve)". BUT there exists a file R.R4f32S167e in that directory. (not quite the same name). Does the "sh: " prefix suggest that the shell "sh" is run, although my

Hi there, I am interested in the inner workings of wilcox.test: > wilcox.test function (x, ...) UseMethod("wilcox.test") <environment: namespace:stats> how can I get at the code, if it is R-code? For Methods one should be able to learn what extension to use, but here default or such do not help. Is there a wayplot.default to learn which different versions of

Hi there I hope that I am in the right forum.

Hi, I would like to get a hint on how to debug in the case of #> R CMD check pllib signalling * checking for code/documentation mismatches ... WARNING Error in parse(file, n, text, prompt) : syntax error on line 22 I am able to sort out which of the files is the culprit is by swapping files in and out of the /R and /man directories. But I cannot find the syntax error, the .Rd file seems

Hi, This may belong more to r-develop, but general discussion may be useful (for the how many-th time ?) seq(2,5,-2) seq(5,2,2) both result in Error in seq.default(2, 5, -2) : wrong sign in 'by' argument But often, if not always, mathematicians and programmers want a behaviour e.g. in for loops, where this statement results in an empty statement, that is for (ii in seq(2,5,-2))

Hi, I want to create several packages, with package Aa depending on functions in package A.

Hi all, I am fancying the idea of using my preferred shell (t)csh when invoking system(). How can I do that? (I didn't find anything about that in the FAQ).

I am running R-1.3.0 on Solaris 8: Under Solaris I do setenv dendro_us hoffmann echo $dendro_us gives back: hoffmann which is correct. When in R I do: Sys.getenv("dendro_us") I get dendro_us "" which is NOT correct: Inverse effect (taken from help of Sys.getenv) Under R: print(Sys.putenv("R_TEST"="testit", ABC=123)) [1] TRUE TRUE

Hi, I am trying to use sub, regexpr on expressions like log(D) ~ log(N)+I(log(N)^2)+log(t) being a model specification. The aim is to produce: "ln D ~ ln N + ln^2 N + ln t" The variable names N, t may change, the number of terms too. I succeded only partially, help on regular expressions is hard to understand for me, examples on my case are rare. The help page on R-help

Hi all, I just cannot think of how to do it: I want to take the first variable (column) of a data frame and regress it against all other variables. bla <- function (dat) { reg <- lm(whateverthefirstofthevariablenamesis ~., data=dat) return(reg) } What kind of function do I have to take instead of the whateverthefirstofthevariablenamesis, eval(), substitute(), get(), ... to

Thanks for the tip to p.dalgaard and Prof Brian Ripley: For reasons that I have forgotten, the value of an assignment function is always passed using an argument called "value", so try changing "sub" to "value". The last argument of any assignment function has to be named `value'. This is different from S, and is in the FAQ, section 3.3.3: "In R, the last

Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to get printed output while a loop is taking place. Example: for(i in 1:10){ print(i) some long process } This will print the values of i only after the loop is finished, what I would like is to see them when the process enters the i-th iteration to keep track of how the program is running. Thank you, Gilda

Hi everyone, Being new to the crowd of R users I am wondering what the equivalent of attach("/home/bla/hoffmann/R/.RData",2) (S style) is in R. What I want is a split of .RData repositories. One in a central place where I keep functions and interesting stuff important for all work I am doing, an several others which contain stuff of an dividual project only. When I start in a
