I've had a play with this and, due to my own short-comings, remain none the wiser. In particular, I'm not sure what value of 'spar' is consistent with the magic lambda=1/1600 for quarterly data. I initially interpreted spar as lambda and tried setting spar=1/1600. This results in almost no smoothing while spar=1600 causes an error. The smooth.spline function seems to want

I am trying to make R-1.5.0 from source on a new G4 system with the apple developer tools and X11 installed and with ATLAS. Running ./configure appears to end normally, but running make yields: gcc -no-cpp-precomp -I. -I../../src/include -I../../src/include -I/usr/local/include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -g -O2 -c Rdynload.c -o Rdynload.o Rdynload.c: In function `R_FindSymbol': Rdynload.c:942:

We've recently "upgraded" a server to solaris 8, and in reinstalling R I've encountered a problem in getting it to recognize the readline library. I have installed readline in what I believe to be the "usual" place: /usr/local/lib with include files in /usr/local/include/readline. But ./configure produces: ragnar.econ.uiuc.edu# grep readline hout checking for

In ancient times, circa 1980, S data directories were called swork and sdata not .Data, and "New-S" as described in the already medieval "Blue Book" discusses a function DBCONVERT that converted swork data into .Data data. It is embarrassing to admit it, but I still have data archives from a BTL machine called alice in the swork format and would like to convert a dataset to

About 2 percent of the time I use fix() to edit a function that is sitting in .RData I get the response: > fix(qss) Error in edit(name, file, editor) : problem with running editor vi when I try to close the editing session. I used to think that these were always cases where there was some syntactical error with the edited file, but this is not the case. I realize that one surefire way to

In the time honored spirit of wishing to do nothing well, could I suggest that the Splus (versions 5 and 6) response to: > rbind(NULL,NULL) NULL is preferable to the R response: > rbind(NULL,NULL) Error in rbind(NULL, NULL) : attempt to set an attribute on NULL This is on: platform sparc-sun-solaris2.8 arch sparc os solaris2.8 system sparc, solaris2.8 status major 1

Hi, I have been trying to dyn.load a library (rq.obj), which will allow me to run a quantile regression function, but so far unsuccessfully. I have tried under windows 98 and R 6.24: 1) dyn.load("d:\\...\\rq.obj") 2) dyn.load("d:\...\rq.obj") 3) 1 and 2 accounting for case sensitivity. 4) dyn.load("d:/.../rq.obj") 5) Place the files in the directory where from I

I've been trying to figure this out for a while, but my knowledge of R is obviously still too limited. The context is as follows: I have some time series, and I would like to estimate their densities, and then use the actual densities in a monte carlo simulation. Now, I can easily estimate the density using density(); I can write a random number generator to fit an arbitrary density

We have a solaris/sparc machine that has been running an old version of R-devel: Version 2.2.0 Under development (unstable) (2005-06-04 r34577) which was built as m64 from sources. Attempting to upgrade to 2.4.0 the configure step goes ok, but I'm getting early on from make: > gcc -m64 -L/opt/sfw/lib/sparcv9 -L/usr/lib/sparcv9 > -L/usr/openwin/lib/sparcv9 -L/usr/local/lib -o

We have recently upgraded to Solaris 10 on a couple of sparc machines with the usual mildly mysterious consequences for library locations, etc, etc. I've managed to configure R 2.1.0 for a 64 bit version with: R is now configured for sparc-sun-solaris2.10 Source directory: . Installation directory: /usr/local C compiler: gcc -m64 -g -O2 C++

An extremely modest proposal: It would be nice if packages could have a FAQ and if faq(package.name) would produce this faq. And if, by default faq() FAQ() would produce the admirable R faq...

Dear R-help, Has anyone been able to use the quantreg package on Windows successfully? I tried to load it and get the following: > library(quantreg) Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) : unable to load shared library "C:/PROGRA~1/R/rw1031/library/quantreg/libs/quantreg.dll": LoadLibrary failure: The specified procedure could not be found.

This is an inquiry for all those who have been working on external data base applications. I sent an inquiry (below) to snews about this sort of thing a couple of years ago and eventually decided that I would wait to see what external database developments occurred and then revisit the problem. I hope that foundations are now better. Suppose for the sake of concreteness you have a large

Dear R Development Team, Using Thomas Baier's R Com Server -- or a dll I am building which supports an evaluate function that is based on Baier's function R_Proxy_evaluate contained in proxy_impl.c -- when I issue an invalid command to R such as "plo(x)" the program crashes.

Hi. I am aware of three different R packages for linear programming: glpk, linprog, lpSolve. From what I can tell, if there are N variables and M constraints, all these solvers require the full NxM constraint matrix. Some linear solvers I know of (not in R) have a sparse matrix input format. Are there any linear solvers in R that have a sparse matrix input format? (including the

I'm plotting matrices with image() and would like the axes to reflect the conventional view that the upper left corner of the plot is (1,1). But image seems to think that the lower left corner is (1,1). Can someone suggest a way of persuading it to think otherwise. In effect, I just want the y axis to run from from 1 to n downwards, not upwards. I thought that something like axes=FALSE in
