similar to: MacOS X: Packages KernSmooth and cluster won't compile

Updating my 1.8.0 R installation (>update.packages() ) I obtain the following (SORRY FOR THE LENGTH OF THE LOG BUT IT HELPS!!!): ................ downloaded 135Kb KernSmooth : Version 2.22-11 in /usr/lib/R/library Version 2.22-12 on CRAN Update (y/N)? y mgcv : Version 0.9-3.1 in /usr/lib/R/library Version 0.9-6 on CRAN Update (y/N)? y trying URL

I always followed http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ to install R on Ubuntu 8.1.

Dear all yesterday I got around to install R-1.5.1 on my machine at home which, admittedly, is running a very old version of RedHat Linux. I noticed two things: 1) My pdflatex version is too old to produce the pdf version of the manuals. `./configure' checks whether a recent version of makeinfo is installed and tells you whether you can produce the info version or not. (I was told I

Hello, has anybody written a function to plot density ellipses (95%, 99% or anything) in a scatterplot? I found nothing in any package, nor in the list archives. There does seem to be a contributed package "ellipse" for S-Plus (on S-Archive), but it does a lot more than what I would need. Still, if anybody ported it to R, I'd be grateful for a link. I'm a bit afraid to try the

I had run into problems when compiling some contributed packages to an installation of R 1.40 by fink on MacOS X. Namely, packages KernSmooth (2.22-7) and cluster (1.4-0) would not find required libraries, though those were present on the system. Jeff Whitaker, the maintainer of the R fink packages, kindly sent me this: > Kaspar: It's not looking in /sw/lib, where the libs are (the

Hello all, to obtain a list of all objects in all search paths, I've found the following to work: > biglist <- sapply(1:length(search()), objects) This more obvious one, however, does not work: > biglist <- sapply(search(), objects) Error in pos.to.env(pos) : invalid argument Still, search() gives [1] ".GlobalEnv" "package:ctest" "Autoloads"

Currently (R-1.4.1 as well as R-devel, according to http://stat.ethz.ch/R-alpha/R-devel/library/base/html/par.html), the html version of help(par) shows [...] lab A numerical vector of the form c(x, y, len) which modifies the way that axes are annotated. The values of x and y give the (approximate) number of tickmarks on the x and y axes and len specifies the label size. The default

Hello, first, I'd like to congratulate the core team to the new R version 1.1. I think it's a great update, with glimpses into an even greater future (tcltk!). While playing around with the new functions (on Win 95), I found the following: As the documentation states, when I generate a plot and save it with recordPlot, I can regenerate it by printing the variable: > plot(1:10) >

Hello, I'd like to propose an extension to the function summary.aov. In Splus (2000, I don't know about other versions), summary.aov allows a parameter ssType to be set to 1 or 3 (defaults to 1) to choose the type of Sums of Squares. I know I can get Type III SS in R with drop1(model), but including the functionality into summary.aov would, in my opinion, - yield a more usable table

Hello, does anyone know of a quick way to create a data frame "like" another, but with more rows? What I'd like to do is this: if mydata is a data.frame like a b c 1 TRUE yes 2 FALSE no 3 TRUE yes I'd like to get mydata2 with the same column names and column types, but without the values and with more rows. All I could think of was to manually do

Hello, is there a quick way of estimating Weibull parameters for some data points that are assumed to be Weibull-distributed? I guess I'm just too lazy to set up a Maximum-Likelihood estimation... ...but maybe there is a simpler way?

Hello, I've fitted a parametric survival model by > survreg(Surv(Week, Cens) ~ C(Treatment, srmod.contr), > data = poll.surv.wo3) where srmod.contr is the following matrix of contrasts: prep auto poll self home [1,] 1 1 1.0000000 0.0 0 [2,] -1 0 0.0000000 0.0 0 [3,] 0 -1 0.0000000 0.0 0 [4,] 0 0 -0.3333333 1.0 0 [5,] 0 0

Hello, I've a question concerning the behaviour of the "scale" function in the base package. I'm using R 1.1.1 on Windows 95. If I take a matrix with NA values, such as > tm <- matrix(c(2,1,0,1,0,NA,NA,NA,0), nrow=3) > tm [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 2 1 NA [2,] 1 0 NA [3,] 0 NA 0 and scale it, the columns containing NAs come out all NA: >

How can I access a function created in one data directory in another? I have been sourcing the text file that contains the function each time I go to another data dir. This is cumbersome, and I suspect there is a way to make functions global. Thanks in advance, S. David White Dept of Speech and Hearing Science Ohio State University Columbus, Ohio

Hello, to save searching time in the S-news archive, here is the simple solution to merge data frames vertically (cols must be equivalent, of course). The frames must be components of a list, such as produced by framelist<-split(bigframe,factor). bigframe2<-do.call("rbind",framelist) # posted to S-news by Bill Venables, found in summary message

This is only partly an R question, but this seems a good place to ask. Like many, if not most, statistics programs, R has no post hoc tests for Kruskal Wallis or Friedman, and as far as I can make out they are not available in any of the R packages. I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction if I am wrong. As I said this is not uncommon. Parametric Anova procedures

Hi all, I have a problem which I am biting my teeth into unsuccessfully: (x <- data.frame(S1=c("a","b","d","F"),N1=c(2,4,6,9),N2=c(6,NA,0,6))) S1 N1 N2 1 a 2 6 2 b 4 NA 3 d 6 0 4 F 9 6 > is.na(x) S1 N1 N2 1 FALSE FALSE FALSE 2 FALSE FALSE TRUE 3 FALSE FALSE FALSE 4 FALSE FALSE FALSE No I want to be able to do: 1) Setting
