R 1.5.1 on AIX 5.1
I'm trying to get R running on AIX 5.1 with the native AIX compilers, VisualAge C++
5.0.2.0 and XL Fortran Compiler 7.1.0.0. R compiled fine, but in running the test
cases, the base-Ex.R tests fail in the Choleski decomposition with the following:
> x <- matrix(c(1:5, (1:5)^2), 5, 2)
> m <- crossprod(x)
> Q <- chol(m)
Error in chol(m) : NA/NaN/Inf in foreign function call

Use of MathJax (or something similar) in .Rd files
Thanks Gabor and Duncan! It works. For those interested, I added this to the beginning of the \details{} section:
\if{html}{\out{
<script id="MathJax-script" async
src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mathjax at 3/es5/tex-mml-chtml.js">
</script>
}}
And then I can use:
\if{html}{\out{\(B_{x(a,b)} = \int_0^x t^{a-1} (1-t)^{b-1} dt\)}}

Interesting. I gave this a try, but couldn't make this work. One would have to infuse something like

Use of MathJax (or something similar) in .Rd files
Hi All,
After some tinkering, and with support from Duncan, I put together a package that allows for easy inclusion of MathJax equations in Rd files. The package has been submitted to CRAN, but those who want to try this out already can get it here:
https://github.com/wviechtb/mathjaxr
or in other words:
install.packages("remotes")

vector normal to a plane
Hi All,
(I have a degree in math, but I am too embarassed to ask my colleagues,
so here goes:)
I would like to get a vector normal (orthogonal) to a plane formed by
two other vectors. In matlab I do this:
v1 = [.4, .6, .8]; v2 = [.9, .7, .2]; nn = cross(v1,v2) (gives ~[-.48,
.65, -.24]
if I do R> cross(v1, v2), I get .94. Huh?
Thanks for all your help, again.

Broken Links on http://www.r-project.org
I was not sure who I should contact about this, so I am posting this here.
There are a few broken links on the R website.
1) http://www.r-project.org/search.html -> link to the Nabble R Forum. I belive the correct/new URL should be: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/

Use of MathJax (or something similar) in .Rd files
Hello All,
I am wondering if there has ever been any discussion/consideration given to incorporating MathJax (or something similar) into R for rendering equations in .Rd files. I know that equations are rendered beautifully in the pdf manuals, but I suspect the majority of users primarily look at the html help files when using R. While I am comfortable reading something like "B_x(a,b) =

metafor and meta-analysis at arm-level
Hi,
I have been looking for an R package which allowed to do meta-analysis
(both pairwise and network/mixed-treatment) at arm-level rather than at
trial-level, the latter being the common way in which meta-analysis is
done.
By arm-level meta-analysis I mean one that accounts for data provided at
the level of the individual arms of each trial and that does not simply
derive the difference between

CRAN check for package on Sparc Solaris
Dear All,
The metafor package currently fails CRAN checks on Sparc Solaris:
http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_metafor.html
The problem is probably due to an unintended (= stupid) use of identical() in a couple tests. I have changed that to more appropriate tests using all.equal(). However, before I resubmit the package to CRAN, I would really like to make sure that the updated

refline in forest() {metafor}
Hello all,
I am using forest.rma to plot a random effects model meta-analysis. I noticed
that refline sets a vertical line indicating the null hypothesis.
Is there a way to draw another vertical line, possibly dashed, centered on the
summary estimate?
Prof. Viechtbauer, if you happen to read this, I'd like to thank you for making
an excellent package. I have been using the metafor package

S3 method dispatch for methods in local environments
Dear All,
In R 3.6.3 (and earlier), method dispatch used to work for methods stored in local environments that are attached to the search path. For example:
myfun <- function(y) {
out <- list(y=y)
class(out) <- "myclass"
return(out)
}
print.myclass <- function(x, ...) print(formatC(x$y, format="f", digits=5))
myfun(1:4)
# prints: [1]

Yes. Thank you; I should have quoted it.
I suggest to remove this text or to add the word "not" at the beginning.

Efficient way to Calculate the squared distances for a set of vectors to a fixed vector
I am pretty new to R. So this may be an easy question for most of you.
?
I would like to calculate the squared distances of a large set (let's say 20000) of vectors (let's say dimension of 5) to a fixed vector.
?
Say I have a data frame MY_VECTORS with 20000 rows and 5 columns, and one 5x1 vector y. I would like to efficiently calculate the squared distances?between each of the 20000

Discourage the weights= option of lm with summarized data
OK. We have now three suggestions to repair the text:
- remove the text
- add "not" at the beginning of the text
- add at the end of the text a warning; something like:
"Note that in this case the standard estimates of the parameters are
in general not correct, and hence also the t values and the p value.
Also the number of degrees of freedom is not correct. (The parameter

Changing pch spacing
Hello R-Helpers,
plot(x, y, type="b", pch="1")
plots x vs. y with both a line and the symbol "1" but how do I change
the "spacing" of the symbol being plotted. In other words, I don't want
to plot the "1" at every data point, but only at every kth point (things
get too cluttered when there are many data points). Thanks in advance!

Discourage the weights= option of lm with summarized data
Indeed: Using 'weights' is not meant to indicate that the same
observation is repeated 'n' times. As I showed, this gives erroneous
results. Hence I suggested that it is discouraged rather than
encouraged in the Details section of lm in the Reference manual.

Font Size for View()
Hello,
I am using Ubuntu 16.04, using the default (Unity) window manager. The font size using View() is way too small on a high dpi monitor. I already use scaling, but View() doesn't seem affected by that. Any suggestions for how I could tweak the font size here?

Optional data argument for a function
Dear All,
I am working on a function that has an optional data argument, just like lm(). If the user sets the data argument equal to some dataframe, then the function should look inside the dataframe for the variables given to other arguments, otherwise the variables should be accessible from what I believe is called the parent frame from which the function was called. I looked at the source code
