Hi there, I've been using ext3 on RedHat 7.1 for some time and I'm very pleased with the result. Thanks for all the hard work people have put in it! I have however one problem: when the machine boots up it tries to load the mcd and mcdx CD-ROM drivers (AFAIK they are old non-standard CD-ROMs). It does this from rc.sysinit right after loading usb devices. The machine started to do

Dear R experts, R (0.63) does not seem to write me any text in a PS file. Trying x11() plot(12) text(5,5, "Hello World") works fine. Now I would like to have the same as a PS file. postscript("foobar.ps") plot(12) text(5,5,"Hello World") dev.off() Gives me a PS file with the plot -- but without the "Hello World". Why? I'm completely clueless. Ciao

Hello, I've sucessfully compiled 2.05a for Solaris 2.6 and its working OK. Compiling on Solaris 2.5.1 (with gcc or Sun cc) goes smoothly but smbd fail with the following error in the log: [1999/10/21 09:45:30, 0] lib/util_sock.c:(507) read_socket_data: recv failure for 4.

Dear all, I'm currently experiencing big troubles with my C code called by .Call in a R function. I know this may not be the right place for such things but these errors are driving me crazy. And I hope other people may have already experienced these problems so that they could give me good suggestions. Sorry if I'm completely out of topic. Well let's go... I'm writing a

Dear list, Here's a suggestion about the different optimization code. There are several optimization procedures in the base package (optim, optimize, nlm, nlminb, ..). However, the output of these functions are slightly different. For instance, 1. optim returns a list with arguments par (the estimates), value the minimum (maxima) of the objective function, convergence (optim

I've looked through the documentation with R-0.64.1 and have been unable to find a high-level function for evaluation of factorials (i.e., n!, not factorial designs). Is there such a function? It is trivial to code, so everyone could write their own, but it also would be worthwhile as a standard tool. I'm guessing I am just overlooking it.

Dear all, I want to install R-0.65.0 on mips-sgi-irix6.5 (SGI IRIX 6.5 IP32), but it doesn't work !!!

Dear all I already posted this problem to r-help in mid-decembre; see http://www.r-project.org/nocvs/mail/r-help/2000/3876.html But, up to now it did not manage to get R properly working. I reinstalled R-1.0.0, R-1.1.1 and R-1.2.0 from scratch, and always run into the same error message: ... [Previously saved workspace restored] now

Hi, I'm starting to see more and more duplicates in my cur directory. they seem to be a copy of an incoming mail (messages share the same date) but they appears in the client as a message without subject and without sender or body. Their filename starts with an underscore and the 4th letter is a %. The rest of the filename is random (but it also includes my hostname). Which program could

Hello R helpers! I looked but did not find a table-lookup R-utility. I could use a loop to do the job (old FORTRAN/C habits die hard) but if I have a big table in which I have to search for the values corresponding to a vector, I end up logically with a double loop. Is there already such a utility? Otherwise, is there a way without loops? Thanks as always Anne

Dear list, I'm currently writing a C code to compute the (composite) likelihood - well this is done but not really robust. The C code is wrapped in an R one which call the optimizer routine - optim or nlm. However, the fitting procedure is far from being robust as the parameter space depends on the parameter - I have a covariance matrix that should be a valid one for example. Currently,

Sorry, sorry.... of course levels(testf)[c(2,1,3)] will do the job My excuses to all Anne PS I will meditate the following saying "la parole est d'argent et le silence est d'or" BONNES FETES A TOUS SEASONAL GREETINGS ---------------------------------------------------- Anne Piotet Tel: +41 79 359 83 32 (mobile) Email: anne.piotet@m-td.com

Hello! I would like to know if there is a simple way to reorder levels of a given factor.Let's say that the vector testf<-factor(c("red","red","red","blue","blue","white")) levels(testf) : blue red white should have reordered levels such as levels(testf) : red blue white (this is for presentation purposes) I guess

I think most of us would expect prod(0:1000) to return 0, and ... ... it does. However, many of us also expect prod(x1, x2) to be equivalent to prod(c(x1,x2)) the same as we can expect that for min(), max(), sum() and such members of the "Summary" group. Consequently, prod(0, 1:1000) should also return 0, but as you see, it gives NaN which may be a bit puzzling... The

Dear list members, I've got a small question on matrix multiplications in a C code. Because of a really cpu demanding likelihood, I had to use a C code within an R function wrapper. I'm pretty sure that there is already one good code for matrix multiplication in C - maybe in the R source code itself - but I wasn't able to find it. Anyone as an idea on how to handle matrix

Has your environment variable path been set correctly? It's been a while that I'm not using R under windows but remember had experienced the same error. I remember that I had to put many paths as environment variable to build R packages properly.

Dear list, I'm currently trying to write a new R package to model spatial extremes. In particular, for a model fitting procedure, I'd like to use flexible response surfaces (like linear models, splines, ...) for the parameters of my model. Following this idea, I'd like to allow "a new interpretation" of an R formula given by the user, like y ~ x1 + rb(x2, knots,

Does anyone knows if there is a way to handle sparse matrices in R? More precisely I am looking for a way to do correspondance analysis on a contingency table which is quite huge (1,000 x 10,000) but sparse (i.e. full of zero). Creating it directly in R (eg as x <- array(0,c(1000,10000) then filling the non zero cells) seems definitely not the good solution as R is then unable to process it

Hi there, First of all thanks for all the ext3 development! I run it on my laptop and it has saved me many times from lengthy fscks :-) However, I have observed that whenever something is doing a lot of writing to an ext3 filesystem other processes that involves I/O on the same disk are blocked for long times (often in the 10-30 secs range). For example, if I cp a 1.5 Gb file from one ext3
