Hi, I've got a version of rowMedians(x, na.rm=FALSE) for matrices that handles missing values implemented in C. It has been optimized for memory and speed. To avoid coercing integers to doubles, and hence allocate an additional 200% memory, there is one C function for integers and one for doubles. The rowMedians() implementation is currently sitting in my non-CRAN package R.native

Does anyone know if it is possible to add a dictionary file of known words that becomes part of the *built* package to tell 'R CMD check --as-cran' not to report these words as misspelled. I want this dictionary to come with the *.tar.gz such that it will be available regardless where the package is checked. For instance, currently I get: * using log directory

Full_Name: Henrik Bengtsson Version: 1.3.0 OS: Windows Me Submission from: (NULL) (216.175.122.171) I realized that the title of packages in the library index when they are in a bundle is the title of the bundle and not the package. It looks like the TITLE file, which apparently is used for generating the library index, takes the value of the bundle's title and not the package's title.

Hi. If your package require another package in order to define its methods (but afterwards in is not needed), how should one specify this? Is it correct to assume that "Depends" will assure that all packages are loaded (attached? what is the right word) *before* the methods in the current package are defined? Basically I use my own setMethod() called setMethodS3() that is defined in

Hi, Gordon Smyth brought the following problem to my attention. PROBLEM/"BUG": Using R v1.9.0 alpha for Windows and the latest Rtools from Brian Ripley you get the following problem trying to R CMD build a package (or a bundle); >R CMD build R.basic * checking for file 'R.basic/DESCRIPTION' ...

I don't know if this is the correct forum to ask the following question; however, when I search the aroma.affymetrix discussion group, it suggested that I should posted the question to r-help. Here it goes. I followed the instructions on aroma.affymetrix trying to install the packages; following are the steps: > install.packages(c("R.oo", "R.utils"),

Here are some notes/observations I've done on my setup that works for me. Hopefully it will be added to some r-forge documentation/wiki. I use: Windows Vista Business SP2 32bit TortoiseSVN 1.6.7 (Build 18415 - 32 Bit , 2010/01/22 17:55:06) PuTTY v0.60 (with Pageant v0.60) I have a deprecated r-forge project ('r-oo') that I will use through out. My r-forge username is

When using the function scan(quiet=TRUE) the line numbers are printed. Example: > scan(quiet=TRUE) 1: 123 [ENTER] 2: [ENTER] [1] 123 > Is it possible to not show the line numbers? I know about readLines() but I would like to be able to use the extra features of scan(). Thanks for you help! Henrik Bengtsson henrikb at braju.com

Is there a way to convert between and integer and a character and vice versa? For instance i <- 65; ch <- intToChar(i); # "A" i <- charToInt(ch); # 65 or even better i <- c(65, 66); ch <- intToChar(i); # c("A", "B") i <- charToInt(ch); # c(65, 66) I have tried to do a ASCII map myself, and I figured out that the ASCII

I'm frightfully new at developing r packages. I'm developing an econometrics package, and each time I update my beta package, I close R, delete the package dir in the library dir, rebuild the zip file, rerun R, reinstall the package and run the functions. Is there a more efficient way? Jeff. Jeff D. Hamann Hamann, Donald & Associates, Inc. PO Box 1421 Corvallis, Oregon USA 97339-1421

Hi, I've installed the RODBC library, R1.000, NT 4.0.

Hi, I know it must be written somewhere but I can't find it. I'd like to remove all variables or objects that I've created but not the functions. I look at a few things without success. Is there a R way of doing this? There are to many to create a manual list. Thanks in advance. Yves Gauvreau -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help

Hi, I noticed some time ago that, for instance, named vectors that are really makes str() really slow when displaying the names attribute. I don't know exactly when this started, but it wasn't the case say 1-2 years ago. Example (on a WinXP 1.8GHz): > s <- 1:1000; names(s) <- s > system.time(str(s)) Named int [1:1000] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ... - attr(*, "names")=

Hi, I tried running Rcmd.exe to no avail. It doesn't even start because it tries to read some memory address that NT says it can't and terminate. I tried downloading and reinstalling rw1020sp.zip with the installer twice just in case it got corrupted somehow in transport but it resulted in the same problem. What should I do? platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch x86 os Win32 system

I'm trying to troubleshoot a case where R crashes on Windows. It does not occur at all with my R v2.1.0 patched (2005-05-09), but happens on R v2.1.1 (patched or non-patched) in many different cases. The R v2.2.0dev (2005-07-15) also got this problem (although it won't crash on the below example). I previously reported this

Hi, help on 'mahalanobis' (in the stats package in Rv2.2.0) now says: "Description: Returns the Mahalanobis distance of all rows in 'x' and the vector mu='center' with respect to Sigma='cov'. This is (for vector 'x') defined as D^2 = (x - mu)' Sigma^{-1} (x - mu)" It does return D^2 as written. However,

I use smooth.spline(x, y) in package modreg and I would like to get value of penalized log likelihood and preferable also its two parts. To make clear what I am asking for (and make sure that I am asking for the right thing) I clarify my problem trying to use the same notation as in help(smooth.spline): I want to find the natural cubic spline f(x) such that L(f) = \sum_{k=1}{n} w[k](y[k] -
