similar to: Building R on Solaris with SUNperf

I am moving my first steps in writing and compiling C code and calling it from R. (I am also new to shared libraries...) My problem is that my C code uses a C function contained in another library (".a", not ".so" - is that the problem?). This is how I compile the file with the functions I want to call from R: cd /export/home/gpetris/ R SHLIB tryit.c cc

Hello, I have updated my OS from Solaris 2.7 to Solaris 2.8, and I am trying to build R 1.9.1. Configure seems to run fine, resulting in the message: R is now configured for sparc-sun-solaris2.8 Source directory: . Installation directory: /usr/local C compiler: cc -xO5 -dalign -xlic_lib=sunperf C++ compiler: CC -xO5 -dalign Fortran compiler:

I am using tapply to compute means by group, as in > tapply(y, z, mean) 1 2 3 21.00757 20.50031 NA where y is a vector and z a factor with levels 1:3. I would like to get a zero instead of the NA I get when a subset is empty. The problem is that FUN is not applied to empty cells of the ragged array. (Of course I am willing to define a function my.mean that returns

Is there a way of `restarting' split.screen? This is what I am getting: > close.screen() [1] 10 11 12 13 > close.screen(all=TRUE) Error in par(args) : parameter "i" in "mfg" is out of range > graphics.off() > x11() > close.screen() [1] 10 11 12 13 > close.screen(all=TRUE) Error in par(args) : parameter "i" in "mfg" is out of range As

Hello, Recently updated Ubuntu to 10.04, I have installed the r-base and r-base-dev packages from CRAN with sudo apt-get install r-base But now when I want to start R I get the following error: gpetris at definetti:~$ R /usr/lib/R/bin/exec/R: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.6: undefined symbol: PC Any clue??? Has anybody seen that before? I have tried to reinstall the

I am trying to read an ftable using read.ftable, but I get the following error message: > jobSatTable <- read.ftable("http://definetti.uark.edu/~gpetris/stat5333/jobSatisfaction.dat",skip=2) Error in seek(file, where = 0) : no applicable method for "seek" In addition: Warning messages: 1: no non-missing arguments to max; returning -Inf 2: no non-missing arguments to

Hello! I am trying to put two math expressions in the title of a plot. As you can see below, I can place correctly one expression at a time, but not both. Ideally I would like to have them separated by a comma. Any suggestions? > k <- 1 > n.eff <- c(20, 30) > ### this works > plot(0,0, main = substitute(n == k, list(k = k))) > ### this works > plot(0,0, main =

Hi all, Using Beamer, in order to highlight a piece of R code I do something like this - note the "\structure" and "\alert" commands: \begin{semiverbatim} > mleOut <- \structure{dlmMLE}(Nile, + parm = c(0.2, 120), # initial values for optimizer + lower = c(1e-7, 0)) \alert<2>{# V must be positive} > mleOut$convergence

I am trying to transition from Sweave to knitr, but there are a few things about customization of the appearence of R input and output that I did not get yet. Maybe somebody on the list can help me. In my Sweave presentations I used a slanted font for the R input and a normal font for the output, both in a small font. I also indented everything by an extra 2em. All this was achieved by the

I am trying to `cut' a continuous variable into contiguous classes containing approximately an equal number of observations. I thought quantile() was the appropriate function to use in order to find the breakpoints, but I end up with classes of different sizes - see example below. Does anybody have an explanation for that? And what is the `recommended' way of computing what I am looking

Hello, I am writing a package called 'DLM' containing a vignette. The vignette contains a chunck with the function call 'library(DLM)'. This worked fine with 'R CMD check DLM', but when it comes to building the package with 'R CMD build DLM' I get the following error message: * creating vignettes ... ERROR Error: chunk 1 Error in library(DLM) : There is no

I'm pretty sure I've seen some examples of a function printing zero entries in a matrix as dots, but I'm not able to find it now... Any suggestions...? Thanks in advance. (Of course, I might have dreamt of such a function...) Best, Giovanni -- __________________________________________________ [ ] [ Giovanni Petris

Hello, I am doing simulations, and I generate a list at each iteration (with three component matrices in the example below), saving the results in a list. For example, after two iterations, I have something like > str(sim.theta) List of 2 $ :List of 3 ..$ : num [1:6, 1:4] -3.67 -1.07 -2.99 -18.38 -3.26 ... ..$ : num [1:6, 1:6] -7.56 -3.14 -4.99 1.03 2.79 ... ..$ : num [1:6, 1:4]

Hello! I suppose this is more a matrix theory question than a question on R, but I will give it a try... I am using La.svd to compute the singular value decomposition (SVD) of a variance matrix, i.e., a symmetric nonnegative definite square matrix. Let S be my variance matrix, and S = U D V' be its SVD. In my numerical experiments I always got U = V. Is this necessarily the case? Or I might

I installed R-1.4.0 and then updated all the packages I have, using update.packages(). I got an error for splancs and sgeostat. Trying to install them 'manually' with R CMD INSTALL, I got the following errors. 1) for splancs: Tue<15:26>library[82]#R CMD INSTALL splancs_2.01-5.tar.gz Installing *source* package `splancs' ... libs f95 -PIC -xO5 -dalign -xlic_lib=sunperf -c

Hello, I have a file that looks like this: Date,Hour,DA_DMD,DMD,DA_RTP,RTP,, 1/1/2006,1,3393.9,3412,76.65,105.04,, 1/1/2006,2,3173.3,3202,69.20,67.67,, 1/1/2006,3,3040.0,3051,69.20,77.67,, 1/1/2006,4,2998.2,2979,67.32,69.10,, 1/1/2006,5,3005.8,2958,65.20,68.34,, where the ',' is the separator and I tried to read it into R, but... > y <- read.csv("Data/Data_tmp.csv",

Hello, I am doing mcmc=10000 simulations from a posterior distribution of the parameters of a mixture of K=6 normal densities. I have mcmc by K matrices simMeans, simVars and simWeights containing the simulation output: one row for each simulation, one column for each normal component of the mixture. One thing I would like to do is a plot of the posterior predictive density. In order to do that

Hello! I am using R on two different machines (under Ubuntu and OS X, but this is probably irrelevant) and I would like to keep the two installations 'synchronized', in particular in terms of installed packages. For example, if I install package xxx on my Linux machine, I would like to find it installed also on my Mac, and vice versa. I imagine this to be a fairly common problem, so I

Hello, I posted a question yesterday but I got no replies, so I'll try to reformulate it in a more concise way. I have the following data, summarizing approval ratings on two different surveys for a random sample of 1600 individuals: > ## Example: Ratings of prime minister (Agresti, Table 12.1, p.494) > rating <- matrix(c(794, 86, 150, 570), 2, 2) > dimnames(rating) <-

I find Sweave very useful and I was trying to combine it with the latex package fancyvrb. I was trying to get line numbering and labels in order to reference the lines where particular commands occur. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure out how to do it. Maybe somebody can help me. The following is a sample Rnw file: the first part shows what I would like to get, the second what I
