Hi! I have installed the new R on windows. I wanted to reinstall the XML package. I am not able to find the XML.zip anymore. I am quite shure that they where a windows binary version. Has anyone old XML windows binary? Eryk Dipl. bio-chem. Eryk Witold Wolski @ MPI-MG Dep. Vertebrate Genomics Ihnestrasse 73 14195 Berlin 'v' tel: 0049-30-84131285 / \ mail:

Hi! I would like to give my objects functions like "subset", "union", et cetera and name it also in this way. But this functions names are already used in the base package and they are not generic. I am right in that if they would be generic then i still can use the neat names with my objects? I have the impression that there are more and more packages are going to be

Hi! How to generate a empty string of a precise length without using a loop? I need a empty string (char **) to pass it with .C function to a c dll. The c routine writes the result into the string.

Hi! Are there scripts or packages for generating Rd files out of "S3" code on cran? Has any one written such scripts (e.g. in Perl?) and are willing to share them? Thanks in advance. Eryk.

Hi! Is there a way to get a subset of a list? I looking for some function like the function available for arrays and dataframe. x<-1:10 x[-c(1,2)] for arrays or x<-data.frame(a=1,b=2) subset(x,select=-a) But one for a list x<-list(a=1,a=2) subset(x,select=-a) The second problem i have are that i want to store parmeters to the plot.default function in a list. eg.:

Hi! On the cran "package source" page, to each package there are the "reference manual" in pdf format with a nice title page. I observed that during the R CMD check pkg a pkg-manual.div are generated in the pgk.Rcheck directory. But the nice title page are missing. During the package build and install no div files are produced. Which opitions I have to pass during the build

Hi! I am trying to calculate a dissimilarity matrix using daisy. The matrix vectver is binary as i test with: > levels(as.factor(vectver)) [1] "0" "1" But the call to daisy gives me the following error message.: > dfl1 <- daisy(vectver, type = list(asymm = c(1:length(vectver[,1])))) Error in daisy(vectver, type = list(asymm = c(1:length(vectver[, 1])))) : at least

hello I am returning to some libraries that I had previously customised by amongst other things adding additional functions. I had simply typed these new functions into the file in library/R/thelibrary. These however do not seem to be loaded now as they previously were under older versions of R. What's changed and what do i need to do? Thanks Stephen

Hi! I am installing R in non standard directory. ./configure --prefix=/non/standard/directory The installation works fine. But after starting R i get .libPaths() /usr/lib/R/library but they cant be there of course! Have I to set some additional switches during config? Eryk Dipl. bio-chem.

Hi! Like to write quite a lot (ca 100) of objects from my envirovment with save. The names of the objects are in a list nam. nam<-dir() nam<-grep("E",nam,value=T) length(nam) 20 for(x in nam) { #reads the objects and assigns the names. assign(x,simFromEmboss(Simmatrix(),x)) nnam<-paste(x,".rda",sep="") print(nnam) save(x,file=nnam) } I knew that

Hi! I guess that it cant work. but maybee I am wrong. I would like to define a function rbind. > rbind function (..., deparse.level = 1) { which works only for objects of class Myclass Is it possible to use something like setMethod("rbind",signature(...="Myclass",deparse.level="numeric") This gives an error. Or should I use rbind.Myclass Eryk. Dipl. bio-chem.

Hi! Would like to plot two image plots with color scale (like levelplot (lattice) implements) in one graphic device. Tried to plot 2 levelplot's (lattice) (the data has not much in common) in one graphics device by setting par(mfrwo=c(2,1)) which does not work. Is there a way to force levelplot to use only a half of the graphic device? Is there a function like image which provides the color

Hi! >library(cluster) In this lib a function called silhoutte.default is defined than on the R prompt it type >silhouette.default Error: Object "silhouette.default" not found R1.9.0 The same error are at R1.8.1 And I knew that a function silhoutte.default are present.

Hallo! I would like that the internal package functions does not appear in the documentation. I placed they names as aliases in the file nameofmypackage-internal.Rd as advised. After R CMD check (which runs neatly) they are still listed in 00Index.html. Is there no way to hide internal functions from the doc? Have I overlook something? Sincerely Eryk. Dipl. bio-chem.

Hi, I clustered a distance matrix and would like to draw it using plot.hclust or plot.dendrogram. The dendrogram is not informative because I have a few extremely small dissimilarities in the distance matrix (e.g. 0), but most of the other distances are in the range 1e10+-5000. I would like to show the tree only for the height of 1e10+-5000 but unfortunately their are no parameter like

Hi, While checking the package I am getting all the time the following complain about the function: Undocumented S4 methods: generic coerce and siglist matrix,Massvector I have not defined the function nowhere in the R files. My gues is that this has something to do with the following definition of the setAs function. setAs("matrix","Massvector" ,def=

Hi, Would like to use to the hexbin package to plot a 2D hist - because it looks really _cool_. My problem is related to drawing a pdf hexbin graphic in series of other graphics. All other figures have a par(mar=c(3.2,3.2,1,1)). So the gplot.hexbin figure in this series looks a little alienated? Was trying a to specify the _mar_ using par, viewport, hexViewport etc. a little. My question. How

Hi, How to add values to an array at any position. Asking because of the following: e.g. y<-c(0.1,NaN,0.2,NaN) #or data frame x<-na.omit(y) take some columns from x and do some computation with functions which do not allow NaN 's. After the computing add NaN's at positions stored in attr(x,"na.action") of the result vector. /E -- Dipl. bio-chem. Witold Eryk
