similar to: Installing RXlisp

I was obviously fascinated by Duncan's earlier message on RXLisp. I managed to build a working version of RXLisp for OS X, by some unabashed and rather uninformed hacking. I compiled XLISP-STAT using the gcc flags -fno-common and --no-cpp-precomp (not sure if they are necessary or not, they are part of an older hack). I "make libxlisp.so", using Duncan's replacement for the

So far, I had made RXLisp by putting all foo.o from XLISP-STAT in an archive, and linking that into RXLisp.so. I have gotten somewhat further in using dynamic libraries. Here is what I now do. in XLS 1. Copy xlisp modifications from RXLisp 2. configure --host=powerpc-apple-darwin6.2 3. make libxlisp.so CC="gcc -fno-common -L/sw/lib -I/sw/include" 4. gcc -dynamiclib -flat_namespace

Hi, this is not an R-help post, but I found this extract below that was written by a leading mathematician back in 1999 when he was talking about statistics and computing. I found it interesting to share and I ask your opinion do you think this still holds today or things have changed? Thanks. ?...we would also like to mention that in our opinion Mathematica provides an excellent and indeed

John Fox (see below) raises important questions for the Lisp-stat community (and perhaps the R community) to consider. This message thread was not cross-posted to r-devel@lists.r-project.org, so I do so now. I have never been an active or particularly adept Lisp-stat programmer. But I have worked on or used several projects for which Lisp-stat seemed the ideal environment-- for implementing

I have written some programs in Common Lisp and I have been using SAS to pipe those programs to my lisp compiler in batch mode by using the %xlog and %xlst SAS commands. I wonder if there is in R a similar way to pipe commands to LISP so that all my work would be concentrated in R even when I have to call a LISP program? I have looked at the foreign library but this seems to adjust data types not

Dear all, One of my friends asked me if it is possible to extract actual R function arguments literally (precisely, as strings). The reason is simple. He feels sometimes awkward to attach quotation marks :-). What he actually wants is to pass R command arguments to XLisp subroutines (He has been an enthusiastic XLisp user for a long time and still tends to use R as a wrapper to XLisp). Is it

Almost not at all, though there are a few holdouts. On a related note, I've been doing some interesting things with a branch of LispStat for CommonLisp. It'll be more interesting when

I have been taking a break for the last month or so, and am only just now catching up on my email. Otherwise, I would have joined this discussion earlier. And... I apologize for the length of this, but I don't think it is overly long. >From the amount of activity in the LispStat news group (none), it seems that LispStat is dead. We all know that Luke is working on R and not on LispStat,

I came across a quite interesting post from Ross Ihaka, thought would be good to share it and get the opinion of folks around here.

Hello. I was wondering how one can find the exact values of the range of an axis within a plot. In xlispstat it was (send plot :range 0). Thanks much, Jason

Do you know what I really, really miss in R that I took fopr granted in my XLisp-Stat programming days??? The ability to easily create menus and dialog boxes. I could write little applications and give them out to clients. It was wonderful. It would at least allow each person to begin to build one's own menu driven version. Just a thought!!

Dear List-members, I found a strange behaviour in the lqs function. Suppose I have the following data: y <- c(7.6, 7.7, 4.3, 5.9, 5.0, 6.5, 8.3, 8.2, 13.2, 12.6, 10.4, 10.8, 13.1, 12.3, 10.4, 10.5, 7.7, 9.5, 12.0, 12.6, 13.6, 14.1, 13.5, 11.5, 12.0, 13.0, 14.1, 15.1) x1 <- c(8.2, 7.6,, 4.6, 4.3, 5.9, 5.0, 6.5, 8.3, 10.1, 13.2, 12.6, 10.4, 10.8, 13.1, 13.3, 10.4, 10.5, 7.7, 10.0, 12.0,

I am sorry for this off-topic question. Just curious how xlispstat is used in the industry and what's it strengthen compared with other computing languages such as R or matlab? Thanks a lot. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R-users, Suppose I have the following x-y coordinates which give the boundaries of a polygon: > x <- c(5,4,5,9,6,6,4,7,10,7,10,4,10) > y <- c(6,3,2,6,3,7,5,4,4,7, 5,4, 6) I would like to plot the following graph: > plot(x,y) > ord <- c(7,12,2,3,5,8,9,11,13,4,10,6,1) > polygon(x[ord],y[ord]) How I can obtain the above ordering (in the example an anti-clockwise

A student is trying to cluster some data. Tree-building things seem to be pretty hopeless (we've tried most of the ones in R, I think). Multi-dimensional scaling produces somewhat tantalising results: things do clump together somewhat, but the clusters overlap a lot. I was wondering if these was an artefact of squeezing it down to 2D, and whether 3D might be better. So loc <-

Is it possible to run R soley from the shell? I'm evaluating necessary fixes to R and XLispStat (and eventually SAS and S-PLUS 4) for running as subprocesses to Emacs (NTEmacs) for ESS. Currently, I lose control of R when running via Emacs; is it possible to "remove" the windows? (all, or all but the graphics window)? best, -- -tony (Anthony Rossini) Statistics

Hello. In messing around with some of the graphical parameters using the par() function (setting margins for example), I've noticed that the plot doesn't always immediately respond to changes...for example when lines are added, if they are out of the range you need to physically find out what the new max range has to be. Is there a companion function in R to the xlispstat function

I've made some more changes to configure/make which still don't solve everything but I think I have to stop for now. Status AIX: * I can compile with gcc/f77/make. * AIX make check fails (cannot build base-Ex.R). * GNU make check fails in the contour example. * Plotting is broken (tickmarks go all the way thru). * IEEE fp stuff is strange (will look into this). * I still need f77 for

1) I installed the latest ESS (Emacs Speaks Statistics) beta release on a machine running Linux. Since there is no S-PLUS product for Linux, I set the ess-site.el file for R, xlisp-stat, and S version 4.
