Dear R developers, I'm an Octave developer in the process of implementing a single precision type in Octave and I have an issue with the NA value. The choice of NA value in Octave was made a few years back so that the high word of the NA value was 0x7ff00000 and the low word was 0x000007A2 for compatibility with R and to ease any possible issue with the exchange of data files between Octave

trying to install octave from epel onto centos 5.2, and getting dependency errors. only place I could find this RPM was in epel, which I 'thought' ran on native rhel5/centos5 without requiring any other repos, but I guess I'm wrong?!? google tells me libhdf5 is some sot of 'heirarchial data format' library, whatever that means. # yum install octave Loading

The problem: I would like to translate the Octave algorithm in griddata.m to R. Within the griddata algorithm calls are made to the Delaunay function. For the R translation I have found delaunayn within the "geometry" package and also the deldir package. Both do similar things but give slightly different results depending on the input. The question is, what is making the results for the

"The question is, what is making the results for the R packages different from each other?" There are literally thousands of R packages, contributed independently by thousands of people. There should be no expectation of consistency or for that matter, "correctness", among them. Caveat emptor. Only within the base R distribution, maintained and mostly written by the R Core

Hi, I'm afraid that the function read.octave from package "foreign" has some problems with the ASCII data format exported by new versions of Octave (later than 3.2.X). It fails even for a simple case as: [Octave code:] octave:1> x=1; octave:2> save -ascii testdata.mat x [Now in R:] > octavedata <- read.octave('testdata.mat') Mensajes de aviso perdidos In

I am new to R and what to find out which package would be best to create a surface plot, 2d or 3d if possible. I have a matrix (depth.dat) which has over 15k depth measurements from an ultrasonic corrosion mapping application. These depth measurements only have one axis (x) but I have used Octave and gnuplot providing decent results, but R seems to have a web interface with PERL which is what I

I'd echo a lot of what has been said about this by the folk who have been making R work so well. One of the main difficulties is that the environment of computations affects relative performance. e.g., what settings did a distro package builder choose. I note that my 3 GHz Dual Core machine running Ubuntu 8.04 gets octave 3.0.0 octave:6> tic; a = a + 1; toc Elapsed time is 0.120027

Hi, R Developers, I'm interested in porting the R example datasets package to GNU Octave and Matlab. Would you have objections to my doing so? This would involve transforming the example data and metadata into a format that Octave understands, and porting all of the datasets' Example code pieces to Octave M-code. (This would require no work on your part; it'd be my project.) I think

I just looked at the data at the URL you posted and it looks like it consists of all the points in a rectangular grid. When you triangulate a rectangle it is arbitrary whether you use the SW-NE or the SE-NW diagonal and that looks like the only difference between the various algorithms.

Hello, How to use the function plot to produce graphs as Matlab? example in Matlab: a = [1,2,5,3,6,8,1,7]; b = [1,7,2,9,2,3,4,5]; plot(a,'b') hold plot(b,'r') How to make the same in R-package ? I am trying something thus: a <- c(1,2,5,3,6,8,1,7) c(1,7,2,9,2,3,4,5) -> b a;b plot(a,t="l",col="blue") plot(b,t="l",col="red")

Hi All, if memory serves me well I recall some paper comparing the relative success in getting mainstream acceptance (as mainstream as statistics can be) of both R and Octave. I remember vaguely that the fact the development strategies (core team vs one main developer) played a major role in the relative success of the two programs. I tried to find this paper, but my goggle skills are failing

By any chance is anyone aware of an R function that duplicates Octave's poly function? Here is a description of Octave's poly function: Function File: poly (A) If A is a square N-by-N matrix, `poly (A)' is the row vector of the coefficients of `det (z * eye (N) - a)', the characteristic polynomial of A. As an example we can use this to find the eigenvalues

Hi, I am trying to load into R a MATLAB format file (actually, as saved by octave). The file is about 300kB but R complains with a memory allocation error: > library(Rcompression) > library(R.matlab) Loading required package: R.oo Loading required package: R.methodsS3 R.methodsS3 v1.2.0 (2010-03-13) successfully loaded.

Hello, I'd like to translate de code below, write in octave, to R. I'm learning to operate R a few time ago, and an example of translation will be useful for me. This code is my lectures in an undergraduate course of statistical computing. echo off; k=0; while (k<>1) n = input('a prime: '); D = 2; r = n - D * floor((n/D)); while((D <= sqrt(n) & (r <>

Hello R experten I have just written a little function to calculate all pairwise combinations of two vector arguments: > pair(c(1,2,3),c(7,8)) [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 7 [2,] 1 8 [3,] 2 7 [4,] 2 8 [5,] 3 7 [6,] 3 8 > I want to generalize this to any number of arguments, for example, <fantasy> > ntuple(c(1,2,3),c(7,8),c(14,15)) [,1] [,2]

Dear All, We are about to purchase the second edition of Agresti's "Categorical Data Analysis" (my old copy of the first ed. of that wonderful book is falling apart). I would appreciate suggestions about other comparable books which, if possible, have examples using R/S code (instead of SAS).

Sorry if I was unclear. There are currently no “known incompatibilities” that I am aware of, although I fully admit to not being an expert on the topic. The idea is that we add versioning information to the bitcode so that if an issue were discovered, it could be easily detected and dealt with.

Hi, The department of economics at our university (Budapest) is planning a course on numerical methods in economics. They are trying to decide which software to use for that, and I would like to advocate R. The other alternative is Matlab. I have found comparisons in terms of computational time for matrix algebra, but I don't think that is relevant: the bottleneck for economists is usually
