Hi, I have submitted a package to CRAN in ftp://ftp.tuwien.ac.at/incoming/pastecs_1.0.tar.gz. The R extension manual advises to send a mail to cran at ci.tuwien.ac.at about it, but it fails. I have also tried WWWadmin at ci.tuwien.ac.at. Are these email adresses still valid? Best, Philippe Grosjean ...........]<(({?<...............<?}))><............................... ) ) ) )

Hi, I have 16 tables of 39 variables with around 1500 to 3500 cases in each table. These 16 tables are in 16 different data frames. I want to merge them in a single large data frame, so: All <- rbind(T1, T2, ...) The problem: it is VERY slow, and takes a lot of memory (> 500 Mb) on my Athlon XP1800+, 1.75 Go memory, Win 2000 Pro SP1, R 1.4.1. Any suggestion to improve speed, and/or memory

Hello all, Since I got no answer to my first mail, I suspect I did not formulate my question adequately, so I try again. In R, one can debug or trace a function 'foo' with debug(foo) or trace(foo), respectively. This leads to a special treatment of the function 'foo' until one enter undebug(foo) or untrace(foo). I would like to know if there is a convenient way to know at any

It's two days I try to answer to a mail of Achim Zeileis, the maintainer of strucchange package, using the mail address: zeileis at ci.tuwien.ac.at. I got the following error: ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- <zeileis at ci.tuwien.ac.at> (reason: 550 5.7.1 <zeileis at ci.tuwien.ac.at>...

Hello, I am doing several self-starting growth functions for using with nls(). When I list the self-starting functions included in nls library, for instance, SSlogis, there is: > SSlogis function (input, Asym, xmid, scal) ... <environment: 03476D20> attr(,"class") [1] "selfStart" What is this <environment: 03476D20> instruction? By using deriv() and then

Hello, I would like to plot two superposed surfaces (original data, and smoothed models). Basically, I would like to create a usual persp plot with box, and then superpose a second surface (without box and axes) on the top plane of the box defined by the first graph. I don't know if it is clear :-( Is it possible to draw such a second surface in an existing persp plot in R? Another (related)

Generalised Inverse: The Moore-Penrose Generalisied Inverse is probably better defined as a pseudo-Inverse that arises in solving least squares problems. Another well known pseudo-Inverse is the so-called Drazin pseudo-Inverse. If memory serves (and it's been 10-12 years!) it can be obtained via a diagonalisation. Anyway, I dare say Prof. Ripley (among others) probably has "all the

Hi, Under Windows, I am exporting graphs from R (in metafile -emf- format), and want to combine them using a graphic package. It happens that the background of the graph is represented by a filled rectangle (with the color given by bg=...). This is to be expected. However, I find no options to disable this and produce a graph with transparent background. Does such an option exist? If not, then

Thorsten is right. There is a direct formula for computing the Moore-Penrose inverse using the singular value composition of a matrix. This is incorporated in the following: mpinv <- function(A, eps = 1e-13) { s <- svd(A) e <- s$d e[e > eps] <- 1/e[e > eps] return(s$v %*% diag(e) %*% t(s$u)) } Hope it helps. Dietrich

Hello everybody, I am making a modified version of "Stephan Steinhaus' benchmark test for number crunching, v. 2, (see http://www.scinetificweb.com/ncrunch/ncrunch.pdf for the original version), comparing several functions of some math/stat software. R is not performing bad at all... except for the sorting of a 1,100,000 random vector (test #3) which is the worst of all (see cell F3 in

Hello, nls library provides 6 self-starting models, among them: SSfp, a four parameters logistic function. Its self-starting procedure involves several steps. One of these steps is: pars <- as.vector(coef(nls(y ~ cbind(1, 1/(1 + exp((xmid - x)/exp(lscal)))), data = xydata, start = list(lscal = 0), algorithm = "plinear"))) which assumes an initial value of lscal equal to 0. If lscal

Hi all, I try to use the hdf5 package. I downloaded the Windows binary version, and it claims it requires hdf5dll.dll library, so I download the whole hdf5 1.4.3 package from NCSA. Unfortunatelly, it crashes R. I suspect it is because the package was probably compiled against version 1.2 of hdf5 (as evoked in the help file?) or any other previous version, so I downloaded the source of the package

Hi all, I have a bit of a newbie question here that I hope y'all can help with. I've run a cluster analysis using hclust on about 500 objects (using R1.3 under Win 2000). The problem is that the tips of the dendrogram are so close together on the plot that the labels overlap and are unreadable. I've used "cex" to reduce the label sizes but this isn't sufficient with so

Dear R and S users, I've been working on fitting finite mixture of negative exponential distributions using maximum likelihood based on the example given in MASS. So far I had much success in fitting two components. The problem started when I tried to extend the procedure to fit three components. More specifically, likelihood = sum( ln(c1*exp(-x/lambda1)/lambda1 + c2*exp(-x/lambda2)/lambda2

Hi, I need help regarding estimating a linear model where restrictions are imposed on the coefficients. An example is as follows: Y_{t+2}=a1Y_{t+1} + a2 Y_t + b x_t + e_t restriction a1+ a2 =1 Is there a function or a package that can estimate the coefficient of a model like this? I want to estimate the coefficients rather than test them. Thank you for your help Ahmad Abu Hammour --------------
