systemfit - SUR
Hello to everyone,
I have 2 problems and would be very pleased if anyone can help me:
1) When I use the package "systemfit" for SUR regressions, I get two
different variance-covariance matrices when I firstly do the SUR
regression ("The covariance matrix of the residuals used for
estimation") and secondly do the OLS regressions. In the manual for
"systemfit" on page

is.numeric
Hi,
I have a vector, which contains both strings and numbers, e.g.
> foo <- c("str1",1234,"str2",0.9876)
I want to know if a distinct element of the vector is a string or a number and
took "is.numeric", but
> is.numeric(foo[2])
[1] FALSE
because R treats the numbers in a mixed vectors as strings:
> foo
[1] "str1" "1234"

make apply() return a list
Hi,
I have a dataframe (say myData) and want to get a list (say myList) that
contains a matrix for each row of the dataframe myData. These matrices are
calculated based on the corresponding row of myData. Using a for()-loop to do
this is very slow. Thus, I tried to use apply(). However, afaik apply() does
only return a list if the matrices have different dimensions, while my
matrices have

constraints
Is there a package in R that handles general linear (in-)equality + box
constrained optimization?
If it is not there, could anyone advise me which way to go?
And/or point me to packages that solve these problems partially?
best, ingmar

How to remove x, y labels from a plot
Hi there,
I need to plot an illustrative figure without ticks, x, y labels in R. I
managed to get the ticks removed, but had no luck with x, y labels.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Splitting up the micEcon package?
Dear R Users:
The functions of our "micEcon" package [1,2] can be subdivided into three
categories:
- microeconomic demand and firm models
- sample selection models (mainly selection())
- routines for (likelihood) maximisation (e.g. maxLik(), maxNR(), maxBHHH())
(mainly used for ML estimation of sample selection models)
Although sample selection models are often used in

Different fonts on different axes
Hi Folks,
How do I get red bold font on my y axis and black standard font on my
x axis?
plot(runif(10), ylab="Red, Bold?", xlab="Black, standard?")
Any pointers or examples would be great.
Thanks!

changing memory limits to speed up lsoda
Hi All,
I am running R 2.2.0 on Mac OS 10.4.2, dual G5 processors with 8 Gig
RAM.
I am running a simulation with lsoda that requires ~378 s to complete
one set of time intervals. I need to optimize the parameters, and so
need to considerably speed up the simulation.
I have tried to figure out how to change the appropriate memory
allocation and have search R help and Introductory

R CMD build when the package name is different from the directory name
Hi,
I was really happy when I saw that in R version 2.3.0 "R CMD check" works for
packages whose package name is different from the directory name in which it
is located (see http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/NEWS).
Now, I can have branches of my packages in directories like

Simple indexing conundrum
My apologies in advance for my thickness but I can't seem to solve the
following, seemingly simple, data manipulation problem:
I have a data frame that contains multiple factors and multiple
continuous response variables, but duplicates of some factor
combinations. The duplicates contain bad data, so I would like to
eliminate the duplicates. I would like to retain the entire rows

axes that meet
R v. 1.7.1, Windows 2000.
A particular journal wants me to provide scatter plots with no box, but
with axes that meet in the lower left corner. It seems as though there must
be an easy way of doing this, but my reading the help on plot.default,
axis, and box have not provided any clues. I would be most appreciative of
any feedback.
Thank you,

Package update announcements
Hi Folks,
I was wondering what everyone thought about adding a sentence to each
package update announcement that described what the package did. R
extensions are so numerous that it is difficult to keep up with them.
Would it be appropriate to ask package developers to add a brief
sentence about what the package does, when they announce updates?
I would benefit from such descriptions.

License for including datasets in packages
Dear All,
I would like to publish a function for 'heckit' estimations together with two
examples from Greene's and Wooldridge's econometric textbooks.
These examples use the dataset of Mroz (1987) that is also available in John
Fox' "car" package. However, not all variables that are used in my examples
are available in the "car" package. Therefore, I

odesolve/lsoda differences on Windows and Mac
Hi -
I am getting different results when I run the numerical integrator
function lsoda (odesolve package) on a Mac and a PC. I am trying to
simulating a system of 10 ODE's with two exogenous pulsed inputs to the
system, and have had reasonably good success with many model parameter
sets. Under some parameter sets, however, the simulations fail on the

R CMD check warning on predict.systemfit
Hi,
I added a new function "predict.systemfit" to our package "systemfit" to make
it closer to other packages (e.g. lm). Now "R CMD check" complains that the
generic function "predict" has only the argument "object", while our function
"predict.systemfit" has more arguments. However, the function "predict.lm"
