Thanks to Frank Harrell, Brian Ripley, Andy Liaw, Jeff Laake and Sean Davis for their usefull comments regarding "navigation" between valid R directories. Jeff recommanded the Mark Bravington package that can be found at: (ftp://ftp.marine.csiro.au/software/bravington/). I looked at the package and found that it can do a lot more than what I asked for. At this time I was not prepared

Hello R-users, is it possible to navigate from one workspace to the other from within an R session or does one has to close R and restart it from the directory where resides the desired workspace? For example from Splus I have this little function, see at the end, which I used all the time to navigate between valid Splus directories. I find this particularly usefull when I develop new

Hello there, apologies for cross-posting my question is not an S/R question but there is so much knowledge concentrated in those lists that I thought someone could point me in the right direction. A few months ago I read an article in a referenced journal comparing some data mining programs, among which there was Insightful's I Miner, SAS' Entreprise Miner, SPSS' Clementine (I think)

Hello R-users, thanks to Brian Ripley and Roger Peng for there prompt replies on installing R on a Solaris 64-bit machine. R is now running and seems to be doing fine. I realy would like to have access to the manuals so I can climb most of the learning curve on my own -- I am a long time user of Splus, hence I am not expecting the learning curve to be too steep. On the Sun machine that R is

Hello, I am trying to port one of my plotting S+ functions to R and I am having difficulties!!! I am including here only the troublesome code! I first produce a barplot, saving the positions of the bar's centers. par(mar = c(6.1, 5.1, 4.1, 4.1), mgp = c(3, 3.0, 0)) ticks.loc <- barplot(sum.of.weights, col = 5, xlab = "", ylab = "", axes =

Hello R-users, First my settings: R-1.8.1, compiled as a 64bit application for a Solaris 5.8, 64 bit. The OS has 8Gb of RAM available and I am the sole user of the machine, hence pretty much all the 8Gb are available to R. I am pretty new to R and I am having a hard time to work with large data sets, which make up over 90% of the anlyses done here. The data set I imported in R, from S+, has a

Hello, I am installing R on a Sun Solaris 64-bit machine. I followed the instructions in the "R Installation and Administration" guide. I am amazed at how much is going on during the installation process and I congratulate the people who have put all this together for the ones amongst us who don't have the required skills to do it. The installation went fairly well I think, I got

Hello R-users, thanks to Brian Ripley, who guided me through this process, the "tcltk" package is now working and hence the "Rcmdr" package as well. The secrets were to first rebuild the Tcl and Tk packages from the sources files, making sure the same C compiler was used as the one used in subsequent steps to build R and enabling 64bit support. Prof. Ripley reported getting

Hello, I am running: R version 2.10.0 (2009-10-26) Copyright (C) 2009 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing ISBN 3-900051-07-0 on a RedHat Linux box with 48Gb of memory. I am trying to create a model.matrix for a big model on a moderately large data set. It seems there is a size limitation to this model.matrix. > dim(coll.train) [1] 677236 128 > coll.1st.model.mat <-

Hello R-users, first thanks to all who responded my questions regarding the installation of the Rcmdr and tcltk packages. The problem is with the tclk package on which Rcmdr depends. Following Prof Ripley's advice I re-installed Tcl and Tk, compiling from sources and making sure the "--enable-64bit" option of their configure was set and setting the environment variable

Hello, I am running: R version 2.10.0 (2009-10-26) Copyright (C) 2009 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing ISBN 3-900051-07-0 on a 64-bit RedHat box. To encourage collegues to use R, I am trying to install "JGR", which depends on "rJava", on the above machine. At first I received and error saying Java was not available. My IT support, I am not admin. on this

Hello R-users, Version 1.8.1 on a 64-bit Solaris 5.8 OS I am trying to instal the Rcmdr package for which the tclk package is required. Once both package installed I issued the command: > library(tcltk) and received the following error message Error in firstlib(which.lib.loc, package) : Tcl/Tk support is not available on this system Error in library(tcltk) : .First.lib failed Upon

Hello, I have a .First function in my personnal Rprofile file. Through the .First function I want to load an R data base at position 2 in the search list but R complains with: "Attempting to load the environment 'package:stats'" and further down the initialization process, when .First.sys() is run and default packages are loaded, my newly loaded data base ends up at position

Hello, I am not currently using R but I have been using S+ for sevaral years. I think that I fit in the category of power users, never using the GUI prefering the flexibility of a command line interface (CLI). In a short while I will try to move to R, that is if we can convince our IT people that installing a freeware package on a Unix server will not damaged the companie's network! The

Hello there, I spent all day yesterday trying to get a small data set from Splus into R, no luck! Both, Splus and R, are run on a 64-bit RedHat Linux machine, the versions of the softwares are 64-bit and are as what follows: Splus: TIBCO Software Inc. Confidential Information Copyright (c) 1988-2008 TIBCO Software Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. TIBCO Spotfire S+ Version 8.1.1 for Linux 2.6.9-34.EL,
