Ah, but the interesting thing is that they are coming out with a 'clam' version like the 5MX. Details are limited at the moment, but that could mean the combination of 5MX usability with a supported linux distro. I am drooling in anticipation. Sounds like a "I've finally finished my PhD and deserve a treat" situation to me :) Dave On Thu, Mar 06, 2003 at 09:17:20AM

My thanks to Drs. Armstrong, Bates, Harrell, Liaw, Lumley, Prager, Schwartz, and Mr. Wang for their replies. I have pasted my original message and their replies below. After viewing http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/strd/ as suggested by Dr. Schwartz, it occurred to me that it might be educational to search for some data repositories on google. I was able to find some,though I'm sure many of

Hi, I am still new to R and have a programming question. I have created a small function which takes a parameter. In the function I want to be able to refer to the names of the variables sent to the function (specifically I want to be able to use the name of the variable given to the function in an output table). For example, in the following (fictional) function I want some way of printing

Hi, guys, I am comparing the performance of the default scheduler (seems to be the one that minimizes register pressure) with no scheduler (-pre-RA-sched=none), and I got these numbers. The ratio is low_reg_pressure/none, that is, the lower the number, the better the performance with low register pressure: CFP2000/177.mesa/177.mesa 1.00 CFP2000/179.art/179.art

The idea that the Excel solver "has a good reputation for being fast and accurate" does not withstand an examination of the Excel solver's ability to solve the StRD nls test problems. Solver's ability is abysmal. 13 of 27 "answers" have zero accurate digits, and three more have fewer than two accurate digits -- and this is after tuning the solver to get a good

Hi all, As happens from time to time, discussions on this list appear regarding the use of popular spreadsheets for statistical analysis. One such thread (post of mine) is here: http://maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/03a/6326.html While not advocating such use, these discussions have referenced articles that provide independent reviews of these applications and issues of accuracy, etc.

Folks: I thought the following excerpt from Bruce McCullough's post would be a good candidate for the R fortunes package -- except that it's about Excel, not R! So I nominate it... but leave it to others to say whether it's really "qualified" to be nominated. ---- "The idea that the Excel solver "has a good reputation for being fast and accurate" does not

Dear R-list members, Cynthia M. Jones wrote a paper (Fitting growth curves to retrospective size-at-age data, Fisheries Research 46(2000):123-129; abstract at http://www.elsevier.nl/gej-ng/10/19/44/70/24/37/abstract.html)where the SAS procedure MIXED, Macro NLINMIX (Littell et. al., 1996)was used to estimate the von Bertalanffy growth function parameters assuming that data from the same fish are

Do you know of any references that verify the accuracy of R for basic statistical calculations and tests. The results of these studies should indicate that R results are the same as the results of other statistical packages to a certain number of decimal places on some benchmark calculations.

Perhaps you noticed that LLVM gained a new optimizing register allocator yesterday (r130568). Linear scan is going away, and RAGreedy is the new default for optimizing builds. Hopefully, you noticed because your binaries were suddenly 2% smaller and 10% faster*. Some noticed because LLVM started crashing or miscompiling their code. Greedy replaces a fairly big chunk of the code generator, so

Friday I enabled the inlinehint function attribute in the inliner. It mostly affects the performance of -Os compiled code. I have made some measurements on the SPEC test suite to show what it means. I made three runs of then nightly tests. The baseline represents -Os with no inlinehint: make TEST=nightly OPTFLAGS=-Os EXTRA_LOPT_OPTIONS=-inlinehint-threshold=0

Dear guys, After compiling 188.ammp, one of spec floating point benchmarks, using the linear scan register allocator, I got 34 spills, but only 28 store instructions. These data were given by -stats. Is this number correct? I mean, the number of stores should be equal or greater than the number of spills, shouldn't it? Best regards, Fernando

I just recently installed a second hard drive in my Samba server with the hopes of sharing it with the rest of my home network. It seems like Samba can not get the correct permissions to the drive, however. I have the drive mounted under /media/public, and when I try to map a share directly to it and open the share with a client, I get an NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME error. When I map the

Using S+ 6 for Linux and R 1.4.1 Taking verbatim some lines from S-Plus that work perfectly, and running them on R, I get an unexpected error message: R : Copyright 2002, The R Development Core Team Version 1.4.1 (2002-01-30) > library(MASS) > data <- read.table("/usr/local/data/mcmanus.dat",header=T) > mcmanus.frm <-

I have applied L'Ecuyer's TESTU01 suite of RNG tests to the RNGs in R. TESTU01 offers three increasingly more stringent suites, called "Small Crush", "Crush" and "Big Crush". If a particular RNG fails Small Crush, there is no need to apply Big Crush. Below I summarize the results: Number of Tests Failed Small Crush Crush Big Crush

Hi, Over the past six months, a MemorySSA-backed DSE implementation has been added to LLVM and it now covers almost all cases the existing DSE implementation does, plus adding a major new capability: eliminating stores across basic blocks. Thanks everyone involved with reviews, testing & patches! I think now would be a good time to start working towards switching to use MemorySSA-backed DSE

Folks, I'm curious if the documented behavior of portable OpenSSH (specifically Linux) may be at odds with the actual behavior I have seen in my experiments. Here is the background: I manage an application which collects data from a client script (Korn shell) which runs on Unix and Linux servers across the entire enterprise. The client communicates with a Linux server (currently running RHEL
