I've been trying to get comfy with arima() and associated functions in the ts() package. I'm thinking seriously about using this package, and R generally, in a 4th year intro time series course that I'm teaching this autumn. I have a couple of questions about arima: (1) The help file says that residuals component of the value returned by arima() consists of the

Continuing to try to customize my environment for using R under Windoze, I experimented with installing a package from CRAN in a local library ``Lib''. I created the directory ``Lib'' in the folder in which R starts, and then executed > install.packages("abind",lib="Lib") Everything went according to form (I got prompted to choose a mirror, etc.) until

I am trying to build a function in a context where the environment concept would appear to be useful. But I'm a bit foggy about this concept and would appreciate some pointers and advice. Basically the function I'm building, say foo(x,t), is a function of two variables). Depending on the value of t, foo will return one of the values f1(x), f2(x), ..., fk(x), where each of f1, ..., fk is

Just now I again had occasion to want nested describe lists in a documentation file. I found that the bug which I reported on 18 October, 2001 still persists. I checked on the bug report at the R web page, and found that the notes say ``Not a problem in R 1.4.0 (2001-12-08)''. Well, it's still a problem for me --- using R 1.4.1. (Details: platform sparc-sun-solaris2.7 arch

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, N. B., Canada, is advertizing a tenure track position in Statistics, starting 1 July 2003.

My google search for Plackett's Algorithm didn't return too much except that Plackett's algorithm appears to be useful in Control Theory - it is elaborated as "Plackett's algorithm for on-line recursive least squares estimation". Sounds something like what I want. I am looking at developing a user modelling type app (new data points coming in and wanting to dynamically

Thanks to Rolph Turner and Jason Turner ... I guess I was too excited about getting back on the list after an absense of several years ... I'll be a little more thoughtful about the problem before posting next time, and a little less trigger-happy with the "Send" e-mail button. Never-the-less, much appreciated. - Mohamed -----Original Message----- From: Rolf Turner

This posting has nothing to do with R (except maybe that I am using R very heavily in writing the paper to which the question pertains.) I simply wish to draw upon the impressive knowledge and wisdom of the R community. Since this question is way off topic, if anybody has the urge to reply, they should probably email me directly: rolf at math.unb.ca rather than via this list. My question

This question has little or nothing to do with R; as usual I'm simply hoping to take advantage of the great depth of knowledge and expertise in the R community. Anyone who is interested in replying should send email directly to me (rolf at math.unb.ca) and not to this list. To get to my question: In a two person zero-sum game, the value of the game to the row player is v_r = max min

I've recently installed R-1.4.0 and I'm having the devil's own time trying to install a home-made package. As far as I can tell, I'm doing the same things that I did previously, under 1.3.1, but somehow everything goes haywire. (Quite possibly I'm simply mis-remembering what I did before, but I can't for the life of me figure out what to change). A toy example of what I

I mis-spoke. It seems I had two collections of functions in the same directory. One by Colin Goodall, and one by David Scott (I have no record of where he is/was located). It is the *latter* collection that does all its work from within Fortran. I'll have another look at what Colin Goodall actually wrote to see if it could be useful to guarav. cheers, Rolf Turner rolf at

If one specifies new options in a package, using the options() function, where does/should one document these new options? E.g. suppose that I put the line options(melvin=42) in a file zzz.R in the R directory of the package source, where the package contains functions foo(), bar(), clyde(), and irving() which all query options("melvin") and take some action based on the value of

Dear friends, Over the past weeks, I have been asking a lot of questions about how to use R in Bayesian analysis. I am brand new to R, but I am very pleased with it. I started with winbugs but I found winbugs to be a limited software, not bad but has several limitations. By contrast, R allows the analyst to tackle any problem with a huge set of tools for any kind of analysis. I love R. In

I just tried to install R version 1.5.1, and it is failing ``make check'', as follows: $ make check `Makedeps' is up to date. running code in 'base-Ex.R' ...*** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `base-Ex.Rout' Current working directory /home1/faculty/rolf/Traal/Rtmp/R-1.5.1/tests/Examples *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target

I have just installed R version 2.14.0 and tried to re-build and re-check some of the packages that I maintain.

Our computing services people have recently reconfigured the Sun compilers structure on our network, and I can no longer install, on our Sun/Solaris machine, a certain package (spatstat) with which I am heavily involved. (The same problem may well pertain to other packages as well; I haven't yet experimented except with spatstat.) Strictly speaking I can ***install*** it, but when I try to

I've had to struggle a bit to get the prime/dash derivative notation into a plotmath expression. The use of expression(K'(t)) gives me a syntax error. The best I've been able to come up with is expression(paste(K,"'",(t),sep="")) Is this the ``accepted'' procedure, or is there a more direct route? cheers, Rolf Turner rolf at

In checking over the solutions to some homework that I had assigned I observed the fact that in R (version 2.4.0) pnorm(-1.46) gives 0.07214504. The tables in the text book that I am using for the course give the probability as 0.0722. Fascinated, I scanned through 5 or 6 other text books (amongst the dozens of freebies from publishers that lurk on my shelf) and found that some agree with R
