Hi, This is a very trivial question, and I do not know why I cannot remember the answer at all! How does one get the entire system information (which OS, R version....etc) using an R command? Thanks, Kevin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ko-Kang Kevin Wang Postgraduate PGDipSci Student Department of Statistics University of Auckland New Zealand

I just updated rpart to the latest version (3.1.0). There are a number of changes between this and previous versions, and some of the code I've been using with earlier versions (e.g. 3.0.2) no longer work. Here is a simple illustration of a problem I'm having with xpred.rpart. iris.test.rpart<-rpart(iris$Species~., data=iris[,1:4], parms=list(prior=c(0.5,0.25, 0.25))) + ) >

Are there any S-Plus or R libraries/packages that do Finite Mixture Analysis following the algorithms similar to those implemented in Geoffrey MacLachlan's EMMIX program? Thanks. Dr. Marc R.

Probably wrong group for this, but a quick question. I've just switched from emacs to Xemacs. In reinstalling ESS 5.1.19 I keep getting the following error when loading Xemacs: "Error in init file: Symbol's function definition is void: w32-using-nt" I've debugged the ess-site.el file, which is where the error originates from. The line causing the difficulty is:

I've created a bunch of postscript trees (post.rpart), which I subsequently edit in Adobe Acrobat 4.05 (I need additional labelling that isn't easy to add with R). After editing the labels and annotations using Acrobat, I then export the file to Adobe's .eps format so I can insert the picture into a Microsoft Word 2000 document. The .pdf file distilled from the .ps file is

Forgive what may seem to be a trivial question/problem.

In my research area, researchers are very stingy about sharing data. In fact, they are frequently downright secretive about these morsels. Typically, we get fed a diet of summary statistics and the assurance that the data are *normal* without any necessary documentation that they really are. With that as background and assuming that the data really are normal, is there any way in R (or any

Thanks to all who offered advice on how to solve a loss of resolution problem involving ps from R, ps -> eps from Acrobat, and Word. It appears that this problem will need to be resolved inside R. If I try to add anything additional (more text, clipart embellishments) to a ps/eps file (using, say, Adobe Acrobat, PaintShop Pro, Powerpoint, or Adobe Illustrator), it gets placed as a

Hey, I have a set of data and want to use Bootstrap method to estimate some pararameters. So does anybody know if there are such functions in R to achieve this? Thanks for your points.

Running 1.4.1 (Windows) under Windows XP Pro. Have had no difficulty for several weeks since moving to the new OS. Today, while checking the behavior of my mouse, I loaded Rgui as usual. I then immediately tried to exit the program. Upon exiting, I got the following message: Error in save.image(name) : image could not be renamed and is left in .RDataTmp I can move the .RData file to any

Dear R-users and expeRts, can anyone provide me (and others as well, of course) with reference of companies, scientific labs and/or schools where R is being used? Or does some (even unofficial) list of comanies etc. where R is being used exist? I tried to find such an information on R's homepage and on a FAQ page, but unsuccesfully. (Of course, searching through this r-help conference one

Dear colleague, I'd like to compute linear discriminant analysis, using R. In the book Modern applied statistic with Splus (Venables & Ripley, p. 396), lda function is used. Could you tell me where I can find this function? At what site, can I download this library ? Thank for your help.

I ran across this error the other day while using lm(). I confess that I haven't used it for awhile and haven't been tracking the changes between versions of R. However, the piece of code below is a tiny modification of the example in the help file for "lm". I just separated the commands apart for clarity. A similar piece comes from the help file for

Dear List, I frequently use the data() function to load csv files (with separator ";") into R session, typically data(myfile) loads myfile.csv from my working/data directory into R. Now, in 1.4.0 version, everything works as expected, but with one difference: The values readed in older versions in "num" mode are now readed as "int" mode, converting the values

Anyone know of a package for numerically estimating lambda(3) and lambda(4) using location, position, skew and kurtosis estimates. I have a distribution and would like to use the gld package to do some simulations of the distribution, but need the lambda estimates to feed into gld. I have a program in Maple, which I may convert to C code for use in R, but before moving down that road I

I'm experiencing segmentation faults from time to time that abruptely end my R sesion. In such cases, is there any way to recover the work done? (i.e., is there any temporal file that I could use?)
