Hi, I noticed that the R reference manual seems to be missing the license permissions on the copyright page. Below is a patch to "refman.top" which adds the same permissions as the @permission{} macro in "R-defs.texi". I'm filing this bug as I have been preparing to publish the R Reference Manual (in several volumes). I plan to donate 5 EUR to the R-foundation for each

Hi, This message is to let the R developers know that the pdfs for the first two volumes of the printed edition of R reference manual are available at, http://www.network-theory.co.uk/R/base/vol1.pdf http://www.network-theory.co.uk/R/base/vol2.pdf I've divided the manual into "core commands" of the base package (control flow, and related programming commands, etc) in Volume 1

Hello, This message is to announce that the "R Reference Manual" is now available in book form. There are two volumes, which cover all the commands in the base package. They are available for order from all major bookstores. "The R Reference Manual - Base Package" (2 volumes) Hardback (6"x9"), 1440 pages total Retail Price $69.95 per volume

Hi, Below I've flagged some sentences in the R documentation (from cvs) which are garbled in some way. If anyone can clarify what these sentences should say I'd be grateful. The problems were picked up as part of the proof-reading of the R manuals by Ciaran O'Riordan. After looking at the text neither of us could figure out what the documentation was meant to say. -- Brian Gough

The patch below attempts to correct some unclear sentences in the R documentation. In the case of coplot.Rd it wasn't clear whether "shingle" bar had a special meaning or was a typo for "single". I've just put a comment in that case. regards -- Brian Gough Network Theory Ltd -- Publishing Free Software Manuals 15 Royal Park Bristol BS8 3AL United Kingdom Tel: +44

While termplot is under discussion, here's another proposal. I'd like to change the default for partial.resid to TRUE, and for smooth to panel.smooth. I'd be surprised if those changes were to break existing code.

I see Peter has just announced the release of 1.0.0, on time, even here in Australia, in accordance with a timetable privately announced about 6 months ago. At that time it seemed optimistic to put it mildly. I am not a member of the core team, but as an ordinary user of R with a more privileged inside view than most I'd like to offer my personal congratulations and thanks. This is the

My apologies for he very short time before things close, but it's not my fault. If necessary get your hat in the ring by Friday and see to the niceties later, may I suggest. This is a vacancy in my group in Cleveland. The work is interesting and the challenges large.

I seem to have unwittingly stirred up a hornets' nest here, so let me have one more say and leave it. Firstly, congratulations to Renaud Launcelot, who seems to have a better feel for wryness and irony in English than some of my native speaker colleagues. Of course R A Fisher is a seminal writer, indeed close to the founder of modern statistics and every aspiring statistician should read

I recently took "." off my PATH for security reasons and now find that R does not work in my home directory where the .Renviron file resides. The fix is simple. In the R shell startup section replace ". .Renviron" by ". ./.Renviron". The relevant section is: # Startup if ${USE_R_ENVIRON}; then # use the one in current dir, or default if [ -r .Renviron ] then .

Hi, I am using the ''acts_as_taggable'' gem and have issues when I try to ''tag'' an entity with a ''tagname'' already defined. i.e 1) book[1].tag(''science'',''paperback'') --> works fine 2) book[2].tag(''roman'',''physics'',''paperback'') --> creates an

We noticed this bug in more complex code, but this succinctly describes the phenomenon. If you do not re-initialize a each time in the following loop, the final value only is assigned to all places when the loop is complete. > a <- b <- list() > for(i in 1:5) { + a$alpha <- i + b[[i]] <- a + } > unlist(b) alpha alpha alpha alpha alpha 5 5 5 5 5 If a is

Peter, There is a clear and simple bug in glm() that I have noticed in 0.64.2 (Windows and Unix) but may have been present in earlier versions. The function starts as follows: > glm function (formula, family = gaussian, data = list(), weights = NULL, subset = NULL, na.action = na.fail, start = NULL, offset = NULL, control = glm.control(...), model = TRUE, method =

If you would like a 10 second R puzzle, you might like to think about this one: > g <- expand.grid(long = 130:140, lat = -(10:25)) > gp <- transform(g, x = long, y = lat) Error in transform(g, x = long, y = lat) : object "long" not found I don't expect this hasn't come up before, but I can't find mention of it. I suggest that to minimise this little

Does anyone have, or has anyone ever considered making, a version of 'termplot' that allows the user to specify that all plots should have the same y-limits? This seems a natural thing to ask for, as the plots share a y-scale. If you don't have the same y-axes you can easily misread the comparative contributions of the different components. Notes: the current version of termplot

I've noticed an increasing tendency for people to use '=' rather than the older '<-' symbol. When '=' became available as an assignment operator in S-PLUS in the late '90s my first reaction was to switch to it as well. Brian Ripley warned me that it was not a good idea. As usual he was right, but it took a couple of pretty serious finger-burning episodes
