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 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 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 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,

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

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

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

Ray Brownrigg <ray@mcs.vuw.ac.nz> writes today about the log1p() problems on NetBSD 1.6 and OpenBSD 3.2: >> Indeed, but since I have acess to a NetBSD developer, this is an >> opportunity to get it fixed for everyone. 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"

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

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, 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

Does anyone know what the units are for projected coordinates obtained using mapproj's mapproject function with an Albers projection? Thanks for any and all help!

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

Dear all, I have two vectors and connect the points by line segments: x <- c(1990,1994,1995,1997) y <- c(30,40,80,20) plot(x,y,type="l") I want to get the values of y's on these lines at missing x's, i.e., at 1991,1992,1993,and 1996. Is there a simple way to do this? Best regards, Remigijus mailto:remigijus.lapinskas at maf.vu.lt

Has anyone achieved a current successful build of R 1.8 or 1.9 or earlier for HPUX Tru 64 OSF 5.1? There is no binary version of R for HPUX Tru 64 OSF 5.1. The R admin manual mentions that the native make fails on "Alpha/OSF (aka Tru 64)" and gnu make must be used instead. There are problems reported with building R versions around 1.4 from 2002 on R-devel, some of which were fixed with
