similar to: Hmisc and Design libraries

Great news! Having spent a significant amount of time porting/mantaining some packages on S4/Splus 5.x and R, I'm interested in your experience as you port Hmisc and Design; I'd like to know of your progress in order to help improve available R/Splus portability tools both at the C and the S language code. These tools include the package SLanguage written by John Chambers, and

The Hmisc and Design libraries have been updated respectively to versions 1.4-2 and 1.1-1. New versions for Linux/Unix/Windows may be obtained from http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/s/library/r . Web sites for the libraries are http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/s/Hmisc.html and http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/s/Design.html . Thanks to Xiao Gang Fan for porting the libraries

The Hmisc and Design libraries have had major improvements. New versions for Linux/Unix/Windows may be obtained from http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/s/library/r Thanks to Xiao Gang Fan for porting the libraries to Windows once again. Change logs may be obtained from http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/s/library/common Several bugs have been fixed in Design, and many bugs have been

The Design library has been fully ported to R except for Cox proportional hazards regression modeling (using Therneau's survival package) which will be available in about two weeks. It will take much longer to make all the example code executable, is it currently contains many examples for which data are not provided. Thanks to Xiao Gang Fan <xiao.gang.fan1 at libertysurf.fr> who

New versions of the Hmisc and Design packages, including ones for Windows, may be found at http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/s/library/r Thanks as always to Xiao Gang Fan <xiao.gang.fan1 at libertysurf.fr> for providing the Windows ports. In Hmisc, new features for multiple imputation have been added to aregImpute and LaTeX and plot methods have been improved for summary.formula

After Brian Ripley suggested I get the latest version of R-devel, my show() problem, for an object for which I desired no special print method, was fixed. I am glad to report that all examples passed R CMD check for both libraries using today's version of R-devel.

I am pleased to announce that a new version of the Hmisc package, 2.0-0, is on CRAN. Thanks to Kurt Hornik and Uwe Ligges and others for making this possible. Thanks also to Xiao Gang Fan who has generously ported Hmisc and Design to Windows multiple times until now. The Design package will soon be on CRAN too. --- Frank E Harrell Jr Prof. of Biostatistics & Statistics Div. of

Many of you are using Sweave for making statistical reports. I thought it might be helpful to some to see an example of the setup I use (in Linux). For those of you who have not yet discovered the power and productivity gains from using Fritz Leisch's wonderful package, I encourage you to give Sweave a try. %File: model.nw %Usage: % Put library(Hmisc;Design;tools} in .First % Sweave model

I have help files in several formats. Up until now I have converted nroff files to S-Plus 6 sgml and html files using Splus doc_to_S ... (creates .sgml file) Splus HINSTALL ... (creates .sgm and .html files) I maintain master help files in R .Rd files, and for some of my functions converting from .Rd to .sgm using R CMD Rdconv --type=Ssgm ... produces better .sgm files than beginning with

Hi folks, Using R Version 1.6.2 (2003-01-10) on SuSE Linux 7.2, I just installed Hmisc_1.5-3.tar.gz and Design_1.1-5.tar.gz These were taken from http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/s/library/r Checked the dependencies: Hmisc: grid, lattice, mva, acepack -- all already installed Design: Hmisc, survival -- survival already installed, so installed Hmisc first All seems to go

As soon as Mike Meyer can get to it, I've asked him to make some minor changes in the S archive so that I can make it clear that permission for porting the Hmisc and Design libraries to R is denied. I don't have anything against R personally as a subset of S-PLUS. I just have only so much time and I don't want to spend any of it helping R users when I have no plans to install R

I am pleased to announce a major revision of the document "Statistical Tables and Plots using S and LaTeX". It is available at http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/s/doc/summary.pdf (76 pages, 500K). It should be of interest to those who produce statistical reports or those who use or would be interested in using LaTeX, the greatest productivity tool for document processing in my

I frequently use hclust on a similarity matrix. In R only a distance matrix is allowed. Is there a simple reliable transformation of a similarity matrix that will result in a distance matrix making hclust work the same as S-Plus with a similarity matrix? Venables & Ripley 3rd edition implies that a simple reversal of values will suffice. Thanks -Frank -- Frank E Harrell Jr
