similar to: dump() bug?

If .../<pkg>/man/ contains a filename beginning with [, such as [.datetimes, Rdconvlib.pl cannot convert that help file into latex at INSTALL time. [Using --no-latex is a workaround.] The error given is: # R INSTALL ssCatalogues : help >>> Building/Updating help pages for package `ssCatalogues' Formats: text html latex example /^[.datetimes$/: unmatched [] in regexp at

I sent a post to find a clever way to compute a Rolling Average of columns in a matrix and I was given the solution below which I am very pleased with. RollingAverage <- function(x, RollingObs) { cx <- cumsum(x); N <- length(x); Temp <- (cx[RollingObs:N] - c(0, cx[1:(N-RollingObs)]))/RollingObs Output <- array(NA, N) Output[RollingObs:N] <- Temp; Output } The only

I sent this to R-devel early last month, but have received no response, so I guess it really is a bug. This looks like a bug to me, and is a bit hard to describe, but easy to reproduce. ? Basically, if RNGkind is saved as something other than the default, and if the first operation in a session is a set.seed(), the default is reverted to. ?Reproduce by: cafe-rozo> ?R --vanilla R version

I guess this is more r-devel than r-help. Note, I am just the messenger - I have no idea what the user is trying to model here. arima() crashes R (segfault) with Linux R-2.7.0, Solaris R-2.6.0: *** caught segfault *** address 42400000, cause 'memory not mapped' Traceback: 1: .Call(R_getQ0, phi, theta) 2: makeARIMA(trarma[[1]], trarma[[2]], Delta, kappa) 3: arima(x, c(1, 0, 1), c(1,

A new package "g.data" is available on CRAN, to create and maintain databases that work more like the S-Plus model. Here's the official Description for g.data (v1.2): Create and maintain delayed-data packages (DDP's). Data stored in a DDP are available on demand, but do not take up memory until requested. You attach a DDP with g.data.attach(), then read from it and assign

R gurus, On Aug 20, 2002, I asked in R-help about calculating a running 5-day median on a large matrix. Thanks to Martin Maechler <maechler@stat.math.ethz.ch> and Ray Brownrigg <Ray.Brownrigg@mcs.vuw.ac.nz> for responding. I ended up writing C code (and an R interface) to do it, which is about 1000x faster than the naive method! (72s became .09s on a 223 x 520 matrix). I added a

R-0.99.0a now plots contour labels from contour(), but the values in levels seem to be coerced to integer.

Digital Alpha (various), Digital UNIX V4.0[EF], R-1.0.0, gcc, f77 When using batch mode with the save option, an error message is issued. However [I have just discovered that] it appears that the operation does complete, i.e. the .RData file is saved successfully. The main problem is that the return code is non-zero (and so it is impossible to distinguish this "non-error" from some

That's a start, but the reality is that it isn't enough. There will be many sites that don't upgrade O/S versions except at possibly very long

I've searched the doc for insert and could not find the way to do the following, hope someone can help: Let's say we have a vector: > a [1] "1" "2" "3" "5" "6" "3" and we want to insert a "7" after any given "3", i.e., we want vector a to become: [1] "1" "2" "3"

I haven't been able to get anywhere tracking this down. It seems that c.noquote() does something strange with its third (and subsequent) parameters: R-2.7.0 under NetBSD, R-2.6.0 under Solaris, and R-2.8.0 (unstable) (2008-06-10 r45893) under WinXP, I get: > c(noquote('z'), 'y', 'x', '*') [1] z y x * x * > or: > c(noquote('z'),

Hi, In the FAQ for Mac http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html there is 7.2 Saving the image You can can (???) the content of the quartz device window into a PDF file. This is not explained! This is a very simple way to export high quality graphics from R into other applications on Mac OS X graphics is PDF based (so are almost all applications available). However, this process

Hi, I asked this question 2 years ago, and would like to know if the answer has changed. In S-Plus, I build databases of many large objects. In any given analysis, I only need a few of those objects, but attach'ing the whole database is fine since objects are only read as needed. How can I do the same thing in R, without reading the entire database? One possibility is to treat

There appears to be a bug in plot.mts() in R-1.3.0 when attempting to do a multiple point plot (this worked in 1.2.2). Reproduce by: > version _ platform sparc-sun-solaris2.8 arch sparc os solaris2.8 system sparc, solaris2.8 status major 1 minor 3.0 year 2001

Apologies in advance for the question. I am trying to draw a map of the US as a surface plot so that I would be able to drop bars on the different states (something like Uwe Ligges' scatterplot3d example 4). I am not sure where to start looking for such a beast. If anyone has any pointers, ideas, I will be grateful. TIA, Partha

Hi list, I have a real problem with plotting US state map. When I try to plot the northern state, there will be some blank space in the top of graph (see case 1 example), and when I plot southern states, there will be a blank space in the bottom of plot (see case 2). I spent almost 2 days to figure out a solution, but could not. Would you help me if you know what the problem is? Regards, Alireza

Hi, I am just wondering if there is an easy way to count in a numeric vector how many numbers don't have replicates. For example, a=c(1,1,2,2,3,4,5), how can I know there are three numbers (3, 4 and 5) without replicates? Thank you! Jun =====

Anybody interested in the S maps library for R? I have ported a limited version of the software for a Unix platform, and would be happy to make it available for anybody interested. If there is a lot of interest then I will submit it to CRAN. I know that Ross Ihaka is working on a new version for R, which does not have some of the limitations of the original S version. My version does not do
