Hello, I want to call a function "fx" given by name, where some "global" variables (in the environment of fx) are passed to the function. For compatibility reasons I cannot modify the parameter list of fx and I want to avoid setting variables in the global environment (e.g. via <<-) Is there a way, how to do this? Thomas P. The example: fx <- function(y)

Hi, the function outer can not apply a constant function as in the last line of the following example: > xg <- 1:4 > yg <- 1:4 > fxyg <- outer(xg, yg, function(x,y) x*y) > fconstg <- outer(xg, yg, function(x,y) 1.0) Error in outer(xg, yg, function(x, y) 1) : dims [product 16] do not match the length of object [1] Of course there are simpler ways to construct a constant

> Or is this a bad idea? I don't like the proposal. I have seen code like the following (in fact, I have written such code, where I had forgotten a function was not vectorized) where the error would have been discovered much later if outer() didn't catch it. > outer(1:3, 11:13, sum) Error in outer(1:3, 11:13, sum) : dims [product 9] do not match the length of object [1]

I have a problem, that the plot of mathematical formula sometimes crashes R on Linux (SuSE 6.2 and 7.0 on a Dual PIII/500 machine with 1GB RAM). The problem occurs for example in demo("graphics"), i.e. in the last part were the mathematical symbols are plotted. There are several circumstances to reproduce this segmentation fault, but the following is one of the most simple examples. The

== Summary == * Problem: BibTeX entries extracted from R packages via citation() require too much manual editing to be of general use. * Proposal: Date: fields should be made mandatory in package DESCRIPTION files, perhaps beginning with warnings from R CMD check * Proposal: Package authors should be encouraged to use a (new) Contributors: field in the DESCRIPTION file rather than packing all

Hello, I want to do simulations with an external simulation model. For this purpose I wrote a R-script which makes the pre- and post-processing of the data (generate scenarios, analyze results). The R-script writes the input file for the simulation with e.g. write(x, file="test.dat", ncolumns=10) The problem is, however, that this command (and even constructions with cat) will add a

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 Mac (see error message below). The

Hi, I posted this message earlier in "Rmetrics" and I don't know whether I posted in the wrong place, so I'm posting it again in Rhelp. I have a function in x and y and let's call it f(x,y). I need to get the Hessian matrix. i.e I need (d^2f/dx^2), (d^2f/dxdy), (d^2f/dydx), (d^2f/dy^2).I can get these using the D function. now I need to evaluste the hessian matrix for

Hello, I try to synthesize harmonic functions with a subset of frequencies determined by fast fourier transform. I wrote two different functions, a looped version and a matrix multiplication version. As an example the looped version takes 5 sec and the matrix-version takes 3-4 sec (R 1.4, Athlon 1.2 GHz, 256 MB, Win ME), but the latter needs huge amount of memory due to the matrices. So, none of

Hi, I have a set of x,y data points and each data point lies between (0,0) and (1,1). Of this set I have selected all those that lie in the lower triangle (of the plot of these points). What I would like to do is to divide the region (0,0) to (1,1) into cells of say, side = 0.01 and then count the number of cells that contain a point. My first approach is to generate the coordinates of these

Hi Does anybody know of any R packages under Windows to produce video files from a sequence of R graphs -- e.g. in .wmv or avi format? Thanks David

Hi, I am almost new to R. Would any one show me (please include an example) how to clip a contour or image figure so that I only see the image or lines inside a selected area?

I have carried out a spatial interpolation (Kriging) using surf.gls() The contour plot looks very plausible and the image plot is o.k too. The problem is, hovever, that I need the vectorized isoplethes, as in contour(). Unfortunately, I found no solution to get the internal data from contour(). Is there a possibility to extract contour lines as x-y-polygon from a grid without hacking plot3d.c?

Dear R developers, I've got an information from Prof. Ripley regarding a bug found with AdressSanitizer in one of our packages. It is now fixed, thank you for this information. Now, I would like to run AddressSanitizer myself before submitting the patched package to CRAN. Is there a recommendation of a suitable Linux distribution with gcc 4.8, ideally an ISO image or (even better) a

Hi, Does any one knows how to include greek letters in plot labels and plot titles ? Thanks a lot paul --- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R developers, I recently observed a NOTE on several MaxOS X package checks: sh: line 1: gs: command not found !!!

Hello, I am looking for a highly efficient matrix version of linear interpolation (like approx). As an example I have data like follows: x<-data.frame(time=1:20, x=(1:20)/10, y=runif(20)) t <- seq(1.5, 15.5 ,by=0.5) # and I found the following solution: nam <- names(x) app <- lapply(x[2:3],approx,x=x$time, xout=t) r <- c(1, 2*(1:(ncol(x)-1))) x.new <-

Hello, I wonder why the control parameter REPORT is not supported by method SANN. Looking into optim.c I found an internal constant: #define STEPS 100 ... and decreasing this to 10 helped me fine-tuning the annealing parameters in an actual problem. Is there any reason why not passing nREPORT to samin and setting something like: STEPS = nREPORT / tmax Thomas P. -- Thomas Petzoldt

Dear R developers, some of our packages come with additional programming examples in a directory called "/examples" which is created from "/inst/examples". This directory is linked from the docs (e.g. in inst/doc/index.html): <dl> <dt><a href="../examples/">examples</a>: <dd>Source code of examples </dl> Given, that we have a
