This is a little success story about the benefits of changing the defaults in config.site when I was building R-1.4.0 for Solaris (on a Sun Sparc that I'm currently using). For previous versions of R, I had just used the default config.site and not given it any thought. Since the Sun machine that I'm using is not getting any faster, I decided I would give config.site a look when building

This might be because I didn't get it right, but; I thought R would release memory back to the system as (big) objects get removed? Here is my platform (with 1Gb of RAM): platform sparc-sun-solaris2.8 arch sparc os solaris2.8 system sparc, solaris2.8 status major 1 minor 3.1 year 2001 month 08 day 31 language R A little example: Start a new section of R, with

I have this 'odd' problem; I need to let R pause, for a given time, before starting next iteration in a loop. I'm using the following to do this task, but feel a little bit guilty because I'm using as much CPU time as I can get while pausing: while(keepGoing) { t.end <- proc.time()[3] + 5 ## the time this loop should end at [block of R commands] while(proc.time()[3]

I have been trying out R-1.6.0 tarballs (2002-9-10 and 2002-9-17) on: arch sparc os solaris2.8 system sparc, solaris2.8 status beta major 1 minor 6.0 year 2002 month 09 day 17 language R As you see form above, R-1.6.0 compiles fine and works. However, when I "make fullcheck" I get the following error: running code in 'tools-Ex.R' ... OK

I'm trying to find a good way of attaching a list within a function such that the attached variables (the list's members) precede the global environment (.GlobalEnv) in the search list. Here is a non-working example using attach(), which hopefully explains better what I'm trying to do: > foo <- function(x=0, input=list(a=10)) { + attach(input) + on.exit(detach(input)) +

Hi all, I encountered a difference between versions 1.6.1 and 1.7.0 when using levelplot with an option 'at'. Here are the specs of the two platforms used: > R.version _ platform sparc-sun-solaris2.8 arch sparc os solaris2.8 system sparc, solaris2.8 status major 1 minor 6.1 year 2002 month 11 day 01 language R > R.version _ platform

R 1.6.0 has gone into final feature freeze as of today. As a new feature, we'll make interim beta versions available via ftp://cran.us.r-project.org/pub/R/src/base alias http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/base (filename R-1.6.0beta_*.tar.gz, where * is the creation date). If you want to help ensure that the final 1.6.0 works satisfactorily on *your* platform, it might be a good idea to

Im trying to do regressions with constraints that the weights are all >=0 and sum(weights) = 1. I've read the archive and have set the problem up with solve.QP and just the non-negativity constraints along the lines of: y as the data vector X as the design matrix D <- t(X) %*% X d <- t(t(y) %*% X) A <- diag(ncol(X)) b <- rep(0,ncol(X)) fit <-

I have been playing around with sparse matrices in the Matrix package, in particularly with the Cholesky factorization of matrices of class dsCMatrix. And BTW, what a fantastic package. My problem is that I have to carry out repeated Cholesky factorization of a spares symmetric matrices, say Q_1, Q_2, ...,Q_n, where the Q's have the same non-zero pattern. I know in this case one does

Thank you Brian Ripley, Gardar Johannesson, and Marcel Wolbers for your prompt and friendly help!

Hello everybody, this is a bit off topic, so maybe you can just reply to me personally... What is the typical notation for 'skewness', 'kurtosis' and maybe 'excess kurtosis'?

Hi all, I would like to draw one picture which would show two different types of boxplots using the same axes (kind of on top of each other). However, I would like to plot each boxplot using a different color or different shading inside the box, so they could be better distinquished from each other... Could you help me? Here is an example of the plot I have so far. I was only able to change the

Dear list, I have problems installing R-2.0.1 on SUSE Linux 9.2.

Hello, I am doing mcmc=10000 simulations from a posterior distribution of the parameters of a mixture of K=6 normal densities. I have mcmc by K matrices simMeans, simVars and simWeights containing the simulation output: one row for each simulation, one column for each normal component of the mixture. One thing I would like to do is a plot of the posterior predictive density. In order to do that

The sapply function is refusing to return a result for what seem to me to be mysterious reasons. Here is a toy example: set.seed(111) X <- list(x=runif(20),y=runif(20)) rvec <- seq(0.01,0.15,length=42) foo <- function(x,X,cc) { mean((X$x)^x + (X$y)^cc) } bar <- function(x,a,b){a+b*x} try.b <- sapply(rvec,bar,a=1,b=2) # This runs without a problem and

There looks to be a bug in do_attr() (src/main/attrib.c): incorrect partial matches of attribute names can be returned when there are an odd number of partial matches. E.g.: > x <- c(a=1,b=2) > attr(x, "abcdef") <- 99 > attr(x, "ab") [1] 99 > attr(x, "abc") <- 100 > attr(x, "ab") # correctly returns NULL because of ambig
