Hello, I am writing a package called 'DLM' containing a vignette. The vignette contains a chunck with the function call 'library(DLM)'. This worked fine with 'R CMD check DLM', but when it comes to building the package with 'R CMD build DLM' I get the following error message: * creating vignettes ... ERROR Error: chunk 1 Error in library(DLM) : There is no

Hi all, Using Beamer, in order to highlight a piece of R code I do something like this - note the "\structure" and "\alert" commands: \begin{semiverbatim} > mleOut <- \structure{dlmMLE}(Nile, + parm = c(0.2, 120), # initial values for optimizer + lower = c(1e-7, 0)) \alert<2>{# V must be positive} > mleOut$convergence

Is there a way of `restarting' split.screen? This is what I am getting: > close.screen() [1] 10 11 12 13 > close.screen(all=TRUE) Error in par(args) : parameter "i" in "mfg" is out of range > graphics.off() > x11() > close.screen() [1] 10 11 12 13 > close.screen(all=TRUE) Error in par(args) : parameter "i" in "mfg" is out of range As

Hello! I am trying to put two math expressions in the title of a plot. As you can see below, I can place correctly one expression at a time, but not both. Ideally I would like to have them separated by a comma. Any suggestions? > k <- 1 > n.eff <- c(20, 30) > ### this works > plot(0,0, main = substitute(n == k, list(k = k))) > ### this works > plot(0,0, main =

Hello, I am doing mcmc=10000 simulations from a posterior distribution of the parameters of a mixture of K=6 normal densities. I have mcmc by K matrices simMeans, simVars and simWeights containing the simulation output: one row for each simulation, one column for each normal component of the mixture. One thing I would like to do is a plot of the posterior predictive density. In order to do that

I am using tapply to compute means by group, as in > tapply(y, z, mean) 1 2 3 21.00757 20.50031 NA where y is a vector and z a factor with levels 1:3. I would like to get a zero instead of the NA I get when a subset is empty. The problem is that FUN is not applied to empty cells of the ragged array. (Of course I am willing to define a function my.mean that returns

I am trying to transition from Sweave to knitr, but there are a few things about customization of the appearence of R input and output that I did not get yet. Maybe somebody on the list can help me. In my Sweave presentations I used a slanted font for the R input and a normal font for the output, both in a small font. I also indented everything by an extra 2em. All this was achieved by the

I'm pretty sure I've seen some examples of a function printing zero entries in a matrix as dots, but I'm not able to find it now... Any suggestions...? Thanks in advance. (Of course, I might have dreamt of such a function...) Best, Giovanni -- __________________________________________________ [ ] [ Giovanni Petris

Hello! I suppose this is more a matrix theory question than a question on R, but I will give it a try... I am using La.svd to compute the singular value decomposition (SVD) of a variance matrix, i.e., a symmetric nonnegative definite square matrix. Let S be my variance matrix, and S = U D V' be its SVD. In my numerical experiments I always got U = V. Is this necessarily the case? Or I might

Hello, I posted a question yesterday but I got no replies, so I'll try to reformulate it in a more concise way. I have the following data, summarizing approval ratings on two different surveys for a random sample of 1600 individuals: > ## Example: Ratings of prime minister (Agresti, Table 12.1, p.494) > rating <- matrix(c(794, 86, 150, 570), 2, 2) > dimnames(rating) <-

Hello, Recently updated Ubuntu to 10.04, I have installed the r-base and r-base-dev packages from CRAN with sudo apt-get install r-base But now when I want to start R I get the following error: gpetris at definetti:~$ R /usr/lib/R/bin/exec/R: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.6: undefined symbol: PC Any clue??? Has anybody seen that before? I have tried to reinstall the

Hello, I am doing simulations, and I generate a list at each iteration (with three component matrices in the example below), saving the results in a list. For example, after two iterations, I have something like > str(sim.theta) List of 2 $ :List of 3 ..$ : num [1:6, 1:4] -3.67 -1.07 -2.99 -18.38 -3.26 ... ..$ : num [1:6, 1:6] -7.56 -3.14 -4.99 1.03 2.79 ... ..$ : num [1:6, 1:4]

Hello! I am using R on two different machines (under Ubuntu and OS X, but this is probably irrelevant) and I would like to keep the two installations 'synchronized', in particular in terms of installed packages. For example, if I install package xxx on my Linux machine, I would like to find it installed also on my Mac, and vice versa. I imagine this to be a fairly common problem, so I

Dear All, I am building R-1.3.1 on Solaris 2.7 and I am trying to use the native SUNperf BLAS/LAPACK. I have added the flags ("-dalign -xlic_lib=sunperf") for the compilers in the config.site file. What is not clear to me is what I have to do with the "--with-blas" flag for ./configure. It seems to me that omitting it is not enough. Any suggestions? Another question, I

Hello, I am trying to display some harmonic functions in a plot. The kind of display I have in mind is like the one that cn be obtained by a call to plot.ts with plot.type = "multiple". The only difference is that I want a single box containing all the plots instead of one box per plot. I thought box(which = "outer") would have done the job, but it didn't. Below is the
