I'll be even more tangent. Those interested in Ox, see http://www.de.ufpe.br/~cribari/ox.pdf Cheers, Francisco.

I am running R 1.2.2 under Linux. When using the function stl in the ts library, how can I save the seasonal component? What I would like was something like: library(ts) data(nottem) data.stl <- stl(nottem, "per") x <- data.stl$sea This what I get: > x NULL I would, however, like to store in x the seasonal component. Thanks in advance. Francisco. -- Francisco

A nice free software with a GUI-interface (which can be linked to R, BTW) is GRETL: http://gretl.sourceforge.net/ . Some people may find it useful for basic stuff.

Does anyone have an R function for the estimation of Tobit regression models (for censored responses), as described, e.g., in Davidson, R. and MacKinnon, J.G., 1993, Section 15.7, Estimation and Inference in Econometrics, Oxford University Press?

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)

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 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

I have just upgraded from Red Hat Linux 5.2 to version 6.0 (with GNOME) on an intel box. I have also upgraded to the latest R version (0.64.1-2 rpm) and have also installed the corresponding GNOME rpm. However, I am not able to start R: [cribari at edgeworth install]$ R /usr/lib/R/bin/R.binary: error in loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/R/bin/R.binary: undefined symbol: __setfpucw [cribari at

OK, I am forwarding this to the r-help. In the original message I simply hit reply and I thought I send to ALL r-help list. (apparent not) also I recieved another piece of mail.....about the RNG in Splus 4.0 or later indicating it was modified and getting worse. I only have Splus 3.4 for HP. So I cannot try it. This makes the idea of using the pre-generated RN on CDROM more appealing.. Mai

When I try to install the R RPM under Mandrake Linux 7.1 (intel), I get the following error: [root at edgeworth programs]# rpm -ivh R-base-1.1.1-1.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: libreadline.so.3 is needed by R-base-1.1.1-1 [root at edgeworth programs]# I do have realine installed: [root at edgeworth programs]# rpm -qa | grep readline readline-4.1-4mdk and

I am running R 1.2.1 under Mandrake Linux 7.2 (installed from RPM) and I installed a few packages using install.packages() . Now, I am trying to upgrade these packages using update.packages() but I believe I am running into some kind of error. See below. Any tips will be greatly welcome. Thanks in advance. Francisco PS: update.packages() only tries to update wle from version 0.3 to 0.4, gives

Is there some neat way of storing the printed representation of an object as a character string? I can see how it could be done via disk using sink() and then scan(), but that's ugly. Something like Lisp-Stat's "with-output-to-string" macro perhaps? David Firth Phone +44 1865 278544 Nuffield College Fax +44 1865 278621 Oxford OX1

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

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 I would like to start by thanking everyone that replied. Thank you for the information, and for the comments about how or why you use it and thankx for the encouragement re my talk.... Please note that I do not claim to have ellicited a reply from all users of R, this is a quick survey not a census. I have tried to break the responces down to the following categories: Where: (hopefully

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

I am new to R and I was wondering if I could ask a few questions. (I am running R on a Windows NT box.) 1. Is the random number generator in R the same as the one in S "Super-Duper")? 2. Is it possible to use dyn.load in the Windows version? 3. When is the next release of R coming out? Thanks a lot. Best, Francisco --
