similar to: Summary: Warnings with no INDEX file in a package

As cool and wonderful as the package checking tools for R are, I sometimes am stymied when trying to track down a problem. For example, I occasionally see error messages when running R CMD check like the following: [...] * checking Rd files ... OK * checking for undocumented objects ... ERROR * in parse(file, n, text, prompt) : syntax error on line 932 * in undoc(dir =

Also in assign() there some arguments lacking in R such as 'frame' and 'where', though I guess that 'frame' in S may be similar to 'pos' in R.

In previous versions of R (at least in 1.5.1, I think), my practice was not to include an INDEX file in the package. R CMD check did not complain and an INDEX was created for me when I use R CMD build. At least, this is how I remember it. I thought that this was a good way to behave since it ensured that my INDEX was automatically kept up to date by R, without me having to worry about what

Hi, The result of rowsum() in R doesn't have the dimnames I'd expect, e.g.: > rowsum(matrix(1:12, 3,4), c("Y","X","Y")) [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] 1 2 5 8 11 2 4 10 16 22 whereas S-Plus gives the more useful result: [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] X 2 5 8 11 Y 4 10 16 22 This is because R's rowsum() code gives

Thanks to Brian Ripley for suggesting, to my previous post about a problem with merge, that I trace through merge.data.frame. I did so with my test case and all seemed to be well until I got to: if (all.x) for (i in seq(along = y)) is.na(y[[i]]) <- (lxy + 1):(lxy + nxx) I believe that this code sets observations in y (which has been expanded to be the

I have a package in which I would like to store a LaTeX .tex file. It is not documentation on any particular function, but is related to the package. In thought that I could just create a "doc" directory under the "inst" subdirectory and place it there. I thought that things in "inst" were just recursively copied when the package was installed. Alas, when I check the

I often get warnings like the following when running R CMD check [...] * checking for code/documentation mismatches ... OK * checking tests ... make: *** Warning: File `Makevars' has modification time in the future (2001-11-13 12:54:37.381546042 > 2001-11-13 12:54:37.314975985) [...] I am ready to believe that this is not a bug (i.e., that the timing on my various machines and file

Hi, all, I've been converting code from S-Plus ("S" for short) to R for a few weeks. Here are some differences I've found, aside from the big well-known ones (scoping, models, data storage) and the contents of Kurt Hornik's FAQ section 3.3.3. Let me start with the ones that seem like serious bugs or deficiencies: 1) LETTERS[c(NA,2)] in S is

There is a bug in all.equal.character: > all.equal.character(c("A", "B", "C"), c("A", "B", "C")) [1] TRUE > all.equal.character(c("A", "B", "C"), c("A", "B", NA)) Error in sum(out) : Object "out" not found > traceback() 3: sum(out) 2: paste("`is.NA' value

The inconsistency is that you use $<- to set the column, then [[<- to change it. Had you tried to set the column by x[[1]] <- as.character(x[[1]]) you would have seen the problem immediately (it does not work as you would have intended). If you want to be sure to turn off conversion to factor, you need to set the column to class "AsIs". My belief is that will behave

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

If the following two conditions are met: 1) all.x is TRUE 2) at least 1 row in y does not have a match in x then any character vectors in y will be coerced to be factors. Here is a simple example (previously provided on r-devel): > x <- data.frame(a = 1:4) > y <- data.frame(b = LETTERS[1:3]) > y$b <- as.character(y$b) > z <- merge(x, y, by = 0, all.x = TRUE) > z

Hi, I understand work is being done to improve read.table(), especially by Prof. Brian D. Ripley. I offer below a version that I wrote, in the hope some aspects of it may prove useful or at least inspire discussion. Be aware that my version differs in a couple fundamental ways that reflect my aversion to dataframes and factors. So it returns a list of vectors which are all character,

Hi. I'm new to Dovecot and about to start using it in production. In the config file, I set the option, auth_debug_passwords, to yes. I do not see any failed passwords logged, however. It did cause more verbose authentication logging, but failed passwords are still hidden. I have also set these options to yes, because I thought they might be required for auth_debug_passwords to work:

The tarballs R-devel_2005-02-16.tar.gz, R-devel_2005-02-15.tar.gz and R-devel_2005-02-14.tar.gz all had the property that when I run ./configure on them I get the following error message: config.status: error: cannot find input file: po/Makefile.in.in which terminates the configure script. After R-devel_2005-02-15.tar.gz was posted but before R-devel_2005-02-16.tar.gz was posted, Jeff Gentry

Greetings Group I think the Word crashing problem is quite common and does not confine itself to Samba as PDC. Running Word with any file open on a Samba server seems to invite trouble and file trashing. This seems to more of a problem with Win2000 and XP than Win9X and NT. I suspect that Micorsoft have "improved" the code to "optimise" performance for Micorsoft
