similar to: impact of R and S

At JSM, I spent a bit of time with old friends at the Cytel booth (makers of StatXact/LogXact). They were wondering whether it was both feasible and of interest to create a package of the StatXact compute engine for R (to be commercially licensed, not for free!), similar to what they've done for SAS. As far as I know, it's feasible, (this is not the first commercial external package,

Another example: Jerry Friedman's MART is available in R from Salford for the same price as the stand-alone TreeNet, even though they don't advertise it on their web site.

Parallel programming with snowFT Our package snowFT is now available at CRAN. It is an extention of the package snow, which adds fault tolerance (in the sense of recomputing computational units when hardware/network failures occur on compute nodes) and a tighter notion of reproducibility for computations running on clusters. It additionally provides tools for flexible management of cluster size

http://www.analytics.washington.edu/~rossini/courses/cph-statcomp/ Lecture/Labs 1 and 2 are on For ESS, ESS-Noweb-Sweave. Lecture/Lab 4 is on parallel computing with R (each Lecture/Lab was just under 2 hours). Comments/corrections welcome, they were used last week here in Copenhagen, so "most" of the bugs are out. best, -tony p.s. Lecture/Lab 3 on visualization needs to be

rdevel from yesterday, also in 1.9.1 (Debian, -3). The man page of 'hist' (from the graphics package, obtained by "?hist") suggests 'truehist' under "see also", but 'truehist' isn't loaded by default (a sensible "of course"), so that "?truehist" fails. One can do help.search(), of course, which points what to do, but leads to my

Alvaro Munoz (Hopkins Epi) is patenting the "diamond graph". http://www.jhsph.edu/Press_Room/Press_Releases/Munoz_diamond_graph.html There is enough prior art (hexagonal binning, among others) to make this amusing, except that it probably will get a patent. It's a reasonable graphical technique, but patentable? best, -tony -- A.J. Rossini rossini at u.washington.edu

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

I've been having problems building vignettes in bioconductor packages with R-devel. Turns out that Rdevel/share/texmf/hyperref.cfg wants Blue and Red predefined, when only blue and red are defined (as of rsync Rdevel, Sept 10th). This is on a Debian unstable system (Sept 9th version). Might not apply to all other tetex systems. Seems to have bitten the bioconductor build system, though.

Greetings! The Bioconductor core group would like to announce the 5th release of Bioconductor, version 1.4. There are many new packages as well as several major upgrades and fixes in older packages, and users are encouraged to upgrade existing tools and check out the new packages. Release 1.4 is intended to be operated with R version 1.9.x, which can be obtained at CRAN

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

For various reasons, I spent part of my time today looking at sample size and power calculation tools (don't ask, don't tell...). This seems to be one area that R is incredibly weak in (well, nearly all stat packages, except perhaps specialized tools and SAS); sure, there are a number of functions in various packages: base, statmod, Hmisc Have I missed something? (I
