similar to: How to transfer lists to other computers or to S-Plus

I wish to comment on interesting and inconsistent behavior of both S-Plus and R with integers. In R 1.7.1 for Windows, is.integer(2) is FALSE, though is.integer(1:2) and is.integer(max(1:2)) are both TRUE. S-Plus 6.1 produces TRUE for all three cases. Meanwhile, as.integer(1e111) produces NA in R 1.7.1 and 2147483647 in S-Plus 6.1. This behavior is consistent with the documentation

Dear all Just for fun, I have just downloaded the paper mentioned below and checked it with R-1.6.1. Everything is ok with exception of Table 2b, where I get always 1 instead of 0.5: > pbinom(1e15,2e15,0.5) [1] 1 Which value should be correct?

Dear Spencer Thank you for this extensive explanation of the problem. I was just curious.

Thanks to Luke and Avi for their comments.? I wrapped "round" around the call to "rnorm" inside my "rpois.".? For "lambda" really big, that "round" won't do anything.? However, it appears to give integers in floating point representation that are larger than .Machine$integer.max.? That sounds very much like what someone would want.?

On my Mac: str(.Machine) ... $ integer.max????????? : int 2147483647 ?$ sizeof.long????????? : int 8 ?$ sizeof.longlong????? : int 8 ?$ sizeof.longdouble??? : int 16 ?$ sizeof.pointer?????? : int 8 ????? On a Windows 10 machine I have, $ sizeof.long : int 4; otherwise the same as on my Mac. ????? Am I correct that $ sizeof.long = 4 means 4 bytes = 32 bits? log2(.Machine$integer.max)

Hi, Erin: A cleaner way is to pass "n2" to "outer" as a "..." argument, as in the following modification of your code: boot1 <- function(y,method="f",p=1) { n1 <- length(y) n2 <- n1*p n3 <- n2 - 1 a <- 0.5*(outer(1:n3,1:n3,function(x,y, n2.){n2. - pmax(x,y)}, n2.=n2)) return(a) } y1 <- c( 9, 8, 7, 3, 6) boot1(y=y1,p=4)

I have many S-plus project folders that I need to convert to R workspaces. For the smaller project folders (< 200MB), using "data.dump" with "oldStyle = T" and "data.restore" (in the foreign package) within R seems to work fine. However, I have several project folders that are quite large (~ 4GB). When I use this procedure to try to convert these project folders, R

Alternatively, just type debug(optim) before using it, then step through it by hitting enter repeatedly... When you're done, do undebug(optim).

Hello, All: What would it take to make ?iconv? portable? I ask, because I want to convert accented characters to vanilla ASCII, thereby converting, e.g., ?Ra?l? to ?Raul?, and Milan Bouchet-Valet suggested on R-help that I use 'iconv(x, ?", "ASCII//TRANSLIT?)?. This worked under Windows but failed on Linux and Mac. It?s part of the ?subNonStandardCharacters? function

????? This issue arose for me in simulations to estimate confidence, prediction, and tolerance intervals from glm(., family=poisson) fits embedded in a BMA::bic.glm fit using a simulate.bic.glm function I added to the development version of Ecfun, available at "https://github.com/sbgraves237/Ecfun".? This is part of a vignette I'm developing, available at

Hello, All: What's the simplest way to convert a data.frame into a model.matrix? One way is given by the following example, modified from the examples in help(model.matrix): dd <- data.frame(a = gl(3,4), b = gl(4,1,12)) ab <- model.matrix(~ a + b, dd) ab0 <- model.matrix(~., dd) all.equal(ab, ab0) What do you think about replacing "model.matrix(~ a +

Dear Spencer, I don't think that the problem of "converting a data frame into a model matrix" is well-defined, because there isn't a unique mapping from one to the other. In your example, you build the model matrix for the additive formula ~ a + b from the data frame matrix containing a and b, using "treatment" contrasts, but there are other possible formulas (e.g.,

This error can arise when getOption("width") is too small. 80 seems to be the limit for me with R-3.3.2 on Windows.

Dear R users, I'm attempting to fit a GLM with random effects using the tweedie family for the error structure. I'm getting the error: iteration 1 Error in logLik.reStruct(object, conLin) : NA/NaN/Inf in foreign function call (arg 3) I'm running V2.1.0 I notice from searching the lists that the same error was reported in May 2004 by Spencer Graves, but no-one was able to

????? Thanks to Ott and others, I now have separate GitHub repositories, one for each of the packages combined in the Ecdat R-Forge project.? In case it might help others in the future, I will summarize here key things I did to make this transition: ??? ??????? 1.? I first copied the "Ecfun" package into its own directory on my local computer and created a separate GitHub

Yesterday, I installed R2.2.0 for Windows [Version 2.2.0 (2005-10-06 r35749)]. Unfortunately, 'install.packages("Matrix")' produced the following message: Warning in download.packages(pkgs, destdir = tmpd, available = available, : no package 'Matrix' at the repositories I installed lme4, maps, mapproj, CircStats, scatterplot3d, gregmisc, Hmisc without
