I am trying to make R-1.5.0 from source on a new G4 system with the apple developer tools and X11 installed and with ATLAS. Running ./configure appears to end normally, but running make yields: gcc -no-cpp-precomp -I. -I../../src/include -I../../src/include -I/usr/local/include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -g -O2 -c Rdynload.c -o Rdynload.o Rdynload.c: In function `R_FindSymbol': Rdynload.c:942:

I've had a play with this and, due to my own short-comings, remain none the wiser. In particular, I'm not sure what value of 'spar' is consistent with the magic lambda=1/1600 for quarterly data. I initially interpreted spar as lambda and tried setting spar=1/1600. This results in almost no smoothing while spar=1600 causes an error. The smooth.spline function seems to want

I've been playing with a quincunx animation in R 1.2.2 and would like to have finer control over the speed of the animation. I know that I can use system("sleep 1") on unix systems at least, but it would be nice to have something like pause(.01). Any suggestions? url: http://www.econ.uiuc.edu Roger Koenker email roger at ysidro.econ.uiuc.edu Department of Economics vox:

Dear R-help, Has anyone been able to use the quantreg package on Windows successfully?

In ancient times, circa 1980, S data directories were called swork and sdata not .Data, and "New-S" as described in the already medieval "Blue Book" discusses a function DBCONVERT that converted swork data into .Data data. It is embarrassing to admit it, but I still have data archives from a BTL machine called alice in the swork format and would like to convert a dataset to

Dear R Development Team, Using Thomas Baier's R Com Server -- or a dll I am building which supports an evaluate function that is based on Baier's function R_Proxy_evaluate contained in proxy_impl.c -- when I issue an invalid command to R such as "plo(x)" the program crashes. There is code in R_Proxy_evaluate to test for a parse error before actually generating code and issuing

We've recently "upgraded" a server to solaris 8, and in reinstalling R I've encountered a problem in getting it to recognize the readline library. I have installed readline in what I believe to be the "usual" place: /usr/local/lib with include files in /usr/local/include/readline. But ./configure produces: ragnar.econ.uiuc.edu# grep readline hout checking for

I am using density() to plot a density curves. However, one of my variables is truncated at zero, but has most of its density around zero. I would like to know how to plot this with the density function. The problem is that if I do this the regular way density(), values near zero automatically get a very low value because there are no observed values below zero. Furthermore there is some density

Hi. I am aware of three different R packages for linear programming: glpk, linprog, lpSolve. From what I can tell, if there are N variables and M constraints, all these solvers require the full NxM constraint matrix. Some linear solvers I know of (not in R) have a sparse matrix input format. Are there any linear solvers in R that have a sparse matrix input format? (including the

Hi, I have been trying to dyn.load a library (rq.obj), which will allow me to run a quantile regression function, but so far unsuccessfully. I have tried under windows 98 and R 6.24: 1) dyn.load("d:\\...\\rq.obj") 2) dyn.load("d:\...\rq.obj") 3) 1 and 2 accounting for case sensitivity. 4) dyn.load("d:/.../rq.obj") 5) Place the files in the directory where from I

Dear R-list, I have made a simple kernel density estimation by x <- c(2,1,3,2,3,0,4,5,10,11,12,11,10) kde <- density(x,n=100) Now I would like to know the estimated probability that a new observation falls into the interval 0<x<3. How can I integrate over the corresponding interval? In several R-packages for kernel density estimation I did not found a corresponding function. I

Hello, has anybody written a function to plot density ellipses (95%, 99% or anything) in a scatterplot? I found nothing in any package, nor in the list archives. There does seem to be a contributed package "ellipse" for S-Plus (on S-Archive), but it does a lot more than what I would need. Still, if anybody ported it to R, I'd be grateful for a link. I'm a bit afraid to try the

Hi, thanks for this great work. Just a minor point - maybe you should mention the rm -rf $FAKE_ROOT command within your README file: It caught me unexpected and I was looking a couple of minutes for the package artifact before I actually read the last line.

An extremely modest proposal: It would be nice if packages could have a FAQ and if faq(package.name) would produce this faq. And if, by default faq() FAQ() would produce the admirable R faq... Apologies in advance if there is already a mechanism like this, but help.search() didn't reveal anything. url: www.econ.uiuc.edu/~roger Roger Koenker email rkoenker at

Hi, I have been using the persp() function to plot species response surfaces based on GAMs (using package mgcv). Everything works fine, except that I have a slight problem when it comes to producing a figure with multiple (4 - 6) persp() plots on it. The axis labels remain the same size, no matter how large or small the plot is, causing some overlap when the multiplot figure is produced. Is
