Hi Does anybody know of any R packages under Windows to produce video files from a sequence of R graphs -- e.g. in .wmv or avi format? Thanks David

Hello I am using Duncan Lang's RDCOM Client package (available on omegahat.org) under R 1.7.0 and Windows XP Pro. Is this the right forum for questions about this package? In case it is, here is my question: Instances of COM objects do not seem to terminate as expected, but leave residual processes running. For example, if I try the simple example: E <-

Hi. I have the following question about reading from large data objects from within R functions; I have tried to simplify my problem as much as possible in what follows. Imagine I have various large data objects sitting in my global environment (call them "data1", "data2", ...). I want to write a function "extract" that extracts some of the rows of a particular

Hi I'm having problems getting the "factorized" argument in solve.QP (part of the quadprog library) to work as expected. The helpfile states that when the factorized argument is set to TRUE, then the function requires the inverse of a square-root factor of the Hessian instead of the Hessian itself. That is, when factorized=TRUE, the Dmat argument should be a matrix R^(-1), such

Hi I am using package RODBC version 1.0-1 under R version 1.7.1 on Windows XP Pro. I am having problems writing a new table to an (Excel) database using sqlSave. I connect to an empty Excel spreadsheet using odbcConnectExcel (which, I believe, uses the Microsoft Excel Driver DSN). Then I try and save a new table to the database(spreadsheet) using SqlSave, but obtain an error message. Below is

Hi Does anyone know of any automatic way of mapping out the dependencies of a function -- i.e. automatically listing which other functions that function calls? I tried using all.names or all.vars, but I can't get it to work on a function: e.g. > test = function(x, y) return(sin(x + y)*cos(x + y)) > all.names(expression(test)) [1] "test" I guess the problem is that all.names

Hi Is there a way to specify the location on the screen where a new graphics device opens, for example with a call to win.graph()? I'm using R 1.7.0 on Windows XP. Thank you. Regards, David

Hi I am using the heatmap function in package mva to look at large correlation matrices visually. Is there any way to "flip" the output of heatmap plot left-right so that, if presented with a correlation matrix, it plots the unity elements in the correlation matrix along a diagonal from top left to bottom right? For example: library(mva) x = matrix(rnorm(1000), ncol=10) z = cor(x)

The example from the help page for strptime has the following oddity: > dates <- c("02/27/92", "02/27/92", "01/14/92", + "02/28/92", "02/01/92") > times <- c("23:03:20", "22:29:56", "01:03:30", + "18:21:03", "16:56:26") > x <-

Greetings, R-Wizards: I'm trying to find an extremum subject to a nonlinear constraint. (Yes, I have perused the archives but have found nothing positive.) The details of the problem are these: In a paper published some years ago in Technometrics, ("Confidence bands for cumulative distribution functions of continuous random variables" Technometrics, 25, 77-86. 1983), Cheng and

Below are a few problems I have encountered with the new checks being done in R-devel. 1/ I have two generics, test.equal and test.equal.tframe. The first checks that two objects are equal while the second checks if two objects have equal tframes (time frames). There is no reason these should have similar arguments but the check seems to think that test.equal.tframe is a method for test.equal so

Hi list, I have home made program, which uses File Alteration Monitor library to watch samba log files for new file creation in samba share directory. This technique works fine when I use GNU/Linux machine as client and it fails when I use Windows machine as client. The cause of failure is, samba server creates different pattern of logs and sometimes it does not create log entries on new file

Hi there I have some timeseries data which I plot in a OHLC Plot. In the same plot I'd like to have the EMA of this timeseries. I tried to add the EMA point to OHLC with lines(), but this doesn't work. Has anyone an idea how to handle it? Regards, Michael Zak

The bug list summary reported an error in syskern which I finally realized is due to a badly chosen example in the help rather an error in the code. However, I have taken the opportunity to re-evaluate what I have been trying to do with syskern, since some parts may no longer be important. Since syskern was intended to address certain problems in package development I would appreciate other

Hi, I'm having trouble with quantmod's addTA plotting functions. They seem to work fine when run from the command line. But when run inside a function, only the last one run is visible. Here's an example. test.addTA <- function(from = "2010-06-01") { getSymbols("^GSPC", from = from) GSPC.close <- GSPC[,"GSPC.Close"] GSPC.EMA.3
