similar to: How to report bugs?

I am wondering if there is a CRAN package that includes a utility function that will "rotate" file names, in the same sense that operating systems sometimes rotate log files. Or maybe there's something in base R. That is, we have a set of file names, say file1, file2, file3, and when the function is called, file3 is deleted, file2 is renamed file3, file1 is renamed file2, and

This looks like a bug? Unable to use scan(pipe()) while profiling. I have no idea whether this version of R violates the "do not use `Rprof' in an executable built for profiling" warning in ?Rprof.

I have encountered a problem with merge() that appears to be a bug. Here's an example to illustrate it. > tmp1 <- data.frame(a=letters[1:3],b=LETTERS[2:4],x=1:3) > tmpa <- expand.grid(a=letters[1:4],b=LETTERS[1:4]) > tmpm.1 <- merge(tmpa,tmp1) > tmpm.2 <- merge(tmp1,tmpa) Error in "names<-.default"(*tmp*, value = vnames) : names attribute must

I have found that data imported from SAS using read.xport() in package foreign (installed recently) does not match the original data, when the data consists of character strings that are only one character long. Here is an example. ---- SAS commands to create the data ---- options nocenter; data foo; a='a'; b='bb'; length c d $2; c='c'; d='

I'm trying to figure out how to get out of this situation: > source('monit.r') Error in file(file, "r") : All connections are in use > showConnections() description class mode text isopen can read can write > help.search('connection') Error in file(file, "r") : All connections are in use > q() Save workspace image?

I have an XML file that has within it the coordinates of some polygons that I would like to extract and use in R. The polygons are nested rather deeply. For example, I found by trial and error that I can extract the coordinates of one of them using functions from the XML package: doc <- xmlInternalTreeParse('doc.kml') docroot <- xmlRoot(doc) pgon <-

I have a failure in 'make check' and I would appreciate assistance regarding what to do about it. Thanks -Don Installing R-1.2.3 on build[99]% uname -sr SunOS 5.8 (for those who may recall my previous request for help, I have updated GCC to 2.95.3, and configured with gcc, GCC's c++, and f77 [not g77]) Running 'make check' got this: creating `no-segfault.R'

I have asked this question before, and received some suggestions for work-arounds that get the job done--and they are much appreciated. But I would still like to find out if I'm missing something, and whether there is a direct way using POSIXt functions (as.POSIXct, as.POSIXlt, strptime, in particular). I have environmental data collected once per minute. Here is a subset of 3 input

Hi Don, wow, you are so right. I picked that piece up from the bloggers tutorial and since I am R naive yet, I thought it was all one step moving_average = forecast(ma(tdat[1:31], order=2), h=5) Truly, I usually print and check at every step I can, as painful as it is sometimes. Great lesson for this novice usR. So the first and last values are NA in each case? Do you know why? Should I replace

You are right that there are no NAs in the practice data. But there are NAs in the moving average data. To see this, break your work into two separate steps, like this: tnr.ma <- ma(dat3[1:28], order=3) TNR_moving_average <- forecast(tnr.ma, h=8) I think you will find that the warning comes from the second step. Print tnr.ma and you will see some NAs. -Don -- Don MacQueen Lawrence

Hello Don, thank you for your response. I appreciate your help. I am using the forecast package, originally I found it following a forecasting example on bloggers.com https://www.r-bloggers.com/time-series-analysis-using-r-forecast-package/ And subsequently located the complete pdf https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/forecast/forecast.pdf Since I created this practice data using the

Thank you for both replies Don & Rui, The very issue here is that there is a search that needs to be done within a text field and I agree with Rui later comment that regexpr might indeed be the time consuming piece of code. I might try to optimise this piece of code later on, but for the time being I am working on the following part of building a neural network to try indeed classifying some

I have read the R online help and wiki and I cannot seem to get something to work the way I need it to. I want to create a new data frame from an subset of an existing data frame which has no reference to the original superset. If you following this example, what I am trying to do may make more sense. I have a file with values like this: shirt,size,40 shirt,color,10 shirt,length,10

Hi, I have a a vector and a data frame with two columns vec = c("C", "A", "B") dataDF = data.frame(A1 = c("B", "A", "C"), A2 = c(1,2,3)) I would like to sort the data frame by column A1 such that the order of elements in A1 is as the same as in vec. After the ordering, the data frame would be A1 A2 C

Hi, I do have it installed on 2 Macs as well (OS X 10.2.8 and 10.3.7) and what I need does work, however if you do the command check routine some problems will likely be revealed. At least there were problems for me. Denis Le 08 févr. 2005, à 12:23, r-help-request@stat.math.ethz.ch a écrit : > De: Don MacQueen <macq@llnl.gov> > Date: 07 février 2005 16:05:14 GMT+01:00 > À:
