seek(zz,where=NewPosition) returns the OldPosition of connection zz (of the appropriate "pointer", i.e. read or write).

I know I've seen the answer to this question but could not find it now: What's the appropriate(s) general reference(s) for the "R language and environment for statistical computing and graphics" that should be included in a scientific article?

In a recent post, I reported that help.start worked with Mozilla, although it had not worked before. I now have discovered the difference. I'm using RH Linux 7.1 and Mozilla 0.9.5 and R 1.3.1. When I tried it before, I had use ESS to start R. If I run R without ESS, help.start() will start the browser (Mozilla), but help(apply), for example, will produce help in ESS but not in the browser.

I'd like to get summary statistics (really just a mean would be fine) for a vector in a data frame, but split based on the value of another vector. That is, I have a data frame (hcd.df) with variables datecat (which is always 1 or 2) and auth.sum (-8..+8). I've used xtabs to get chi-square comparisons, but what I need now is a simple mean of auth.sum where datecat is 1 and another where

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:

On RedHat linux 7.2, I upgraded (?) Emacs and R at the same time and now I'm getting some funny business with R and ESS. I reinstalled ESS from the tarball and re-byte-compiled. In particular, help.start() does work, and ESS works to send text regions to the R process, but ?function does not return anything, and the status line says "ESS process not ready. Finish your command

It does look like Gentleman and Ihaka not only lied to the New York Times, but also to the New Zealand Herald and who knows who else. This is disgusting. The R programming language is the S programming language, and Gentleman and Ihaka are not the ones who designed it. http://thenewyorktimesissloppy.blogspot.com/

Is it conceivable that Julia could be ported to use R syntax in a way that would allow the vastly larger numbers of R programmers to seamlessly switch? Or equivalently, could an iteration of R itself do this?

I read this paper <https://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~ihaka/downloads/Compstat-2008.pdf> and haven't been able to find out what happened - I have seen some sporadic mention in message groups but nothing definitive. Does anyone know? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I have made some modifications to the X11 graphics driver so that it is more flexible about its use of colors. I have added a new parameter to the X11/x11 function which controls this. The parameter is currently called "colormodel" and works as follows: colormodel = 0 Monochrome graphics colormodel = 1 Grayscale (256 shades) colormodel = 2 Pseudocolor1 colormodel = 3

I am using R1.2.0 on Windows NT4.0 and am looking for information on drawing geographical maps. [The things I'd like to do at the moment are rather simple, just like plotting the values of some variable (e.g. a SMR) on a given map.] Searching the r-help mailing list archives, it seems this topic comes up from time to time. For example, in November 1999 Ray Brownrigg writes about an "R

Hi, I'm a beginner of R. I find it absoluty fantastic, flexible and very extensible. For the moment only a curiosity.. Why the name R? (are they perhaps the initials of Robert Gentleman and Ross Ihaka?, or is the name correlated with S language?) Sorry for my poor question but I am very curious Thank in advance Paolo C.

Muy interesante. Gracias Carlos. Estaba indagando en los orígenes, más que nada como referencia en un documento, pero dan ganas de probar la R 0.49. Creo que la primera que instalé fue R 1.2.0, en un curso que dieron en la universidad allá por el 2000. ¿y vosotros? Saludos El 13/06/13 15:12, Carlos J.

I know that this general question has been asked before, but I have encountered a picky reviewer. In the 'standard' reference for R: R. Gentleman and R. Ihaka (1997). "The R language", In Proceedings of the 28th Symposium on the Interface, L. Billard and N. Fisher Eds. The Interface Foundation of North America. is there a geographical location for the publisher and perhaps

As part of preparation for a ``visualization'' course I am supposed to teach I had a brief play with using the Gimp to capture an on-screen R plot and then massaging it into something more suitable for magazine publication :-). You can see the result at ftp://stat.auckland.ac.nz/pub/ihaka/plot.jpg It looks best in truecolor. Ross
