The following code in clusplot.default (package cluster) is in error: x1 <- cmdscale(x, k = 2, eig = TRUE) var.dec <- sum(x1$eig)/sum(diag(x1$x)) if (var.dec < 0) var.dec <- 0 if (var.dec > 1) var.dec <- 1 x1 <- x1$points x1 has components with names "points" and "eig", not "x", so

When R prints warnings, they often go "out of the line", it would be better if they where wrapped with writeLines(strwrap ... I tried to do that , changing the function warnings, but it has only effect when called explicitely, not when R prints the warnings unasked. Anyhow, here is the changed warnings: warnings <- function (...) { if (!(n <- length(last.warning)))

Hola! look at the following: > test <- function() { + options(warn=-1) + on.exit( options(warn=0)) + log(-1) + } > test() [1] NaN but what should be better, doesnt work: > test1 <- function() { + oldwarn <- options("warn") + options(warn=-1) + on.exit( options(warn=oldwarn)) + log(-1) + } > test1() Error in options(...) : warn parameter

(I sent this earlier, but it seems not to have come through, due to problems witkh my system) The following command from appendix A, "a sample session", isnt correct: contour(x, y, fa, nint=15) when used R protests: Warning message: parameter "nint" couldn't be set in high-level plot() function it should probably be nlevels, as used a few lines before.

Hola! I ask here since I learnt from this list that the LaTeX package listings should be good for typesetting R code. I encountered one problem: \begin{lstlisting} X %*% V \end{lstlisting} in the output the * in %*% disappears! same with %/%, etc, the / disappears. Any ideas? Kjetil -- Kjetil Halvorsen.

Hola! I have the following in a .Rd file: \eqn{\mbox{coef} = c(\mbox{coef}[1],\ldots, \mbox{coef}[n]) } {coef = c(coef[1], coef[2], \dots, coef[n])} However, both arguments come out in the latex file! Whats happening? Kjetil Halvorsen

I just discovered that when the VGAM package (not on CRAN) is loaded, glm() doesn't work. This is because VGAM defines a family function() which gets found by glm() in place of the family function from stats. Then VGAM:::family returns an object which doesn't have a $family component, (it has a component $vfamily). I thought namespaces should protect us from this happening? Kjetil --

With rw2010dev I get a strange protect(): protection stack overflow error with a small data frame which otherwise is usable: If anybody wants to have a look I can provide an RData file with the problematic data frame. Doesn't seem to be necessary, the following simulated example generates the error: > testmat <- matrix(1:80, 20,4) > dim(testmat) [1] 20 4 > str(testmat) int

I encountered something strange with read.spss (package foreign, version 0.7 with R2.0.0 and version 0.8 with R2.0.1 beta, windows XP) I made a test file test.sav with SPSS version 11.5.1 containing only one numeric variable, with a value label for one value not occuring in the file. According to ?read.spss this should result in a factor, but it results in all NA. Using the argument

I found the need of converting a matrix into a list of its columns (for use with do.call), and was surprised there was no method as.list.matrix, it could easily be a part of as.list default I wrote my.as.list.matrix <- function(mat) { if(!is.matrix(mat))stop("Argument must be a matrix") n <- NCOL(mat) res <- vector(mode="list", length=n)

Hola! The R FAQ says: 7.12 How do I convert factors to numeric? It may happen that when reading numeric data into R (usually, when reading in a file), they come in as factors. If f is such a factor object, you can use as.numeric(as.character(f)) to get the numbers back. More efficient, but harder to remember, is as.numeric(levels(f))[as.integer(f)] In any case, do not call as.numeric()
