Regarding user's home and working directories, is Rprofile just an old name of Renviron? or (can) should we have both files with different type of definitions? (talking about R.1.4.0 in linux).

[RFC = Request for Comments] { Yes, the documentation for .Renviron is really not there (but the FAQ...); the rest is in ?Startup } In R's Startup (on Unix only??) {unless --no-environ is specified} ~/.Renviron (if there) is read as an 'sh' script before R is called, then R looks ((for the site-wide Rprofile and then)) for .Rprofile in the current directory and then for

Hi, I am interested in customizing the installation of R. I have gone through the ?R Installation and Administration? manual. But some of the stuff is not clear to me and I would like to get clarifications on the following points (for a Windows installation with R_HOME=C:\\R\\R-2.9.1 ) : 1. I understand that I need to create a file, .Renviron with the following path : R_HOME\\etc\\.Renviron where

On Debian/Ubuntu, system wide environment variables and options are set in respectively /etc/R/Renviron.site and /etc/R/Rprofile.site. These files are automatically created when r-base is installed, and do not get overwritten during an upgrade. On Fedora, there is no /etc/R directory. What is the recommended place to define system wide environment variables and options on a Fedora system?

R-ers! Referees demand that the line in the KM-curve should be changed to dotted at the point where standarerror is <= 10 %. I don't think it's a good habit but I urgently need to implement such a thing in R with survfit, survplot or another program. They also want numbers at risk below the curve Some help, please....

Hello, In S-Plus Windows you can transform graphics to Powerpoint very easily, in R Windows you can use enhanced metafiles (.emf) and Powerpoint almost as easy. Is there a simular way with R in Linux to transform to the presentation program in StarOffice or OpenOffice or are you stuck with the pdf device? Fredrik Lundgren

Hello R'ers In previous versions of R (I now use 2.0.1) there was a package "bootstrap". I wrote some programs that depended heavily on this package but can unfortunately not find it on Cran today. Is there any way to find an older version of "bootstrap" and use it with the new version - 2.0.1? Sincerely Fredrik Lundgren Norrk??ping Sweden

Dear list, How should missing values be expressed in Excel before extraction to R via RODBC. I'm bewildered. Sometimes the representation with NA in Excel appears to work and shows up in R as <NA> but sometimes the use of NA in Excel changes the whole vector to NA's. Blank or nothing or NA as representation for missing values in Excel with dateformat gives NA's of the whole

Dear R'ers, When I used S-plus i wrote a small program for a Mantel-Haenszel test for trend (I think it worked). Unfortunately I can't get it working in R. It appears as if my use of 'el' is the problem but I can't sort it out. Error in apply(array, c(, 2, 3), function(el) el * 1:s) : argument is missing, with no default Further down in the program I use 'el'

I reproduce from memory my exhaustive look into this issue. RODBC uses the Microsoft ODBC DLL's developed by Microsoft. These DLL's perform an automatic determination of column type based on the contents of the first N rows of cells in each column, where N [0,16]. N may be set in the Windows system registry, and there are a few other things that may be set in the system registry which
