I am trying to make plots that take into account survey weights. This a survey of the US population. To start with I want to explore the data using pairs, plot, coplots and lattice. Are there specialized methods that handle survey weights for plotting? Any pointers? Anupam. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R People: Is there a binary version for rorca, please? Thanks, Laura mailto: lauraholt_983 at hotmail.com R Windows 1.9.0

Hello, hopefully someone will remember my previous problem to load the Rcmdr library from within GNU R resulting in an error message: "libnvidia-tls.so.1: cannot handle TLS data". Some suggestions have been raised by Christian Schulz and others that unfortunately didn't work around this error. Nevertheless I felt very grateful for your suggestions! This morning I investigated

I'm trying to track down a rather critical problem. This happens both on Debian's current unstable as well a from anoncvs built this morning, reinstalling MASS. Is anyone else seeing this or am I just broken and special? 609$ /home/Rdevel/bin/R R : Copyright 2004, The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Version 1.9.0 Under development (unstable) (2004-03-04), ISBN 3-900051-00-3 R

In a quick search of the R website just now, I found no mention of a unit testing framework for R. I hope to find something in the style of Java's JUnit, or Python's unittest. Is such a thing available? Thanks, - Paul Shannon Institute for Systems Biology Seattle

Hi there, We're attempting to run an LVQ analysis over a cluster of machines via R and openMosix. R spawns several child processes simply by writing commands to several files and using system() to start a slave process. The processes migrate perfectly, and often finish with no reported errors, writing their results into respective files for the parent process to piece together.

Hi, is there a way to analyze subpopulations (e.g. women over 50, those who answered "yes" to a particular question) in a survey using Survey package? Other packages (e.g. Stata, SUDAAN) do this with a subpopulation option to identify the subpopulation for which the analysis shoud be done. I did not see this option in the Survey package. Is there another way to do this?

Hi, I am about to but a laptop, and have narrowed the choices down to a Dell Latitude 600 and an Apple Powerbook G4 Aluminium (Princeton provides these models at a discount for grad students). I am biased towards the Powerbook, and would like to run Debian on it. I have only used debian on i386 platforms so far. I use R quite frequently, so I would be interested in your experience of running R

I've been using a cvs2cl.pl (http://www.red-bean.com/cvs2cl), a nice little perl script to auto-generate GNU-style changelogs from CVS log information. This site also has a proposed XML format for changelogs, and cvs2cl can optionally produce this instead. Finally, they have an XSLT sylesheet that will convert the XML changlong format into an HTML/XHTML page. How about we borrow this tool

I'd like to give a copy of an R package to someone using S-PLUS. It doesn't just run as-is, it'll need changes. Has anyone written any general guidelines on ways to port in that direction? Duncan Murdoch

Yes, lots of packages do use C/Fortran code ... it would be great if there were more packages that are "pure R" especially since the advent of S4 classes and namespaces. Is it worth suggesting that we create a designation "pure R" for packages that have no external source code and encourage more of these? Indeed, now the number of packages is so big could they be classified to

Hi All, I would like to use anonymous cvs, but it appears not to be working (again?). There was a discussion back in Jan-Feb about whether to continue supporting it, but it seemed that Tony Rossini got it working and the discussion left off there. Did someone decide to disable it, or is it just not working properly? Here's the details: $ cvs -d

I like R more than SAS. My job is doing research on clinical trial. But I was told that FDA only accepts the result from SAS. Is that true? TOO BAD. [[alternate HTML version deleted]]

Hi to all who suffer from rterm not shutting down in xemacs/ESS on windows NT or 2000. Also hi to those who could eventually help. Here is some more information which could help and some ENCOURAGEMENT to contribute to a solution. 1. It may be an xemacs problem but it is more likely an interaction between rterm/comint/and xemacs. In fact, the problem started occurring around version R 1.6.0. I

Hi R users, I am new to using DBMS with R for large datasets. Thanks to all who responded with useful suggestion to my earlier postings about using large datasets and DBMS with R. I am writing to get some help about how to design good tables in DBMS to take full advantage of the wonderful built-in facilities in R, like labels. I am using RMySQL client. Because R makes good use of variable

When I submit more than one batch file (same programs, different parameter values, huge simulations, different result names) the only results that get saved are from the *last* batch file to finish. They are all being run in the same subdirectory (so same .RData file?) I've done: R --save BATCH infile outfile and I've also put q(save="yes") at the end of the program, but

I'm seeing weird issues in methods initialization, i.e. loading marrayClasses loads Biobase, and when explicitly done, as in library(Biobase) library(marrayClasses) is fine, but when Biobase is loaded via a require statement in marrayClasses' .First.Lib, I end up with: Warning message: In the method signature for function "coerce", class "exprSet" has no

I probably shouldn't suggest this, because I can't volunteer to implement it. However, I bring it up in the hopes that if (1) others agree and (2) the R core group think it a good idea that a suitable volunteer will come forward. I am finding that the flood of R email messages is becoming difficult to deal with, even using filters, etc., in my email client. Would we be better

Dear R-devel, My current research focuses upon sensitivity analyses which require [1] clusterings of patients in a baseline covariate X-space and [2] examining the distribution of within-cluster treatment differences in outcome. I have generated some primitive R code for this, but I really need to be able to interact with graphical displays of within-cluster information (local average
