All, When I try and compile a shared library (on WinXP) I get the following error: E:\data\proj>R CMD SHLIB toy_dll.c Makevars:1: *** missing separator. Stop. Has someone else had this error and fixed it? This code compiles and works fine on Linux (fedora core 2). Everything was working fine under R1.8.1 but I've broken something when I upgraded to R1.9.1. So I am assuming

Hi all, I'm having trouble connecting to an oracle database using RODBC under winXP. Unfortunately I can't really send a reproducable error as the initial call to odbcConnect seems to hangs R and I have to kill the session. I have been using RODBC to sucessfully connect to an MS Access DB that has tables linked through to the oracle database in question and that seems to work OK but it

Full_Name: Toby Patterson Version: 1.6.0 OS: winXP Submission from: (NULL) (140.79.2.3) I seem to be able to cause a predictable crash (i.e. the application terminates abnormally) in R using the library lattice. If I have x<-cbind(1:10,c(rep(1,7),rep(2,3)),rnorm(10)) library(lattice) xyplot(x[,1]~x[,3]|x[,2]) # works oK but reversing the ylim entries i.e.

All, I was wondering if someone had come across the problem of producing partial regression plots for glm objects in R? When using Splus in the past I have passed glm objects to the plot.gam function. To my knowledge this functionality isn't included in R ( I would be happily corrected here) and if someone had some code floating around to do this it would save me re-inventing wheels etc.

Hi all (and particularly Deepayan), A while back Deepayan helped me with the query in the text below (thanks again). Specifically it was about changing the way that dates plotted on the axes of lattice plots. While this works using xyplot, everything comes apart when I use levelplot. The axis labels on the date axis are shown as the integer representation of the date (number of seconds since

The "r-devel snapshot build" 78175 on Windows--- a dot-exe installer--- seems to be missing a couple of files in its bin/i386 folder: Rterm.exe and Rgui.exe. Both are present in its bin/x64 folder (and in the i386 folder for current R). NB the lack of i386/Rterm.exe affects even the x64 version, since package installation seems to use it for testing loadability under both architectures

Hi all, Easy question for you (which I failed to find the answer to in the FAQ etc). I've recently been forced to switch from linux to windows (currently windows NT), and my usual habit of putting lots of "cat" statements in slow functions to get an idea of the progress rate is no longer useful. Why -- because R waits until the function is completely finished before printing the cat

Hi all, I am writing some C code where I want to use the findInterval function documented in "Writing R extensions/Utility functions". i.e. the C-version not the R version. It all compiles but the shared library is causing seg-faults and I'm obviously stuffing something up. Has anyone got any examples of calling this function they'd be will to share? I've searched through

All, I have some data of animal movements that I'm plotting using xyplot() from lattice. I want to have the date (class POSIXct object) on the Y-axis and the animals longitude on X-axis. Eg. xyplot(date ~ longitude, groups = animal, data = my.data) with data like: animal ptt year month day lon date 125 03P0014 13273 2003 7 10 150.38 2003-07-10 14:03:48 126

I have a 'cat' function within a for loop. I would like it to print out the result everytime it goes through the for loop so that I can monitor the progress, but it only prints out (execute the cat function) once at the very end of the for loop. A simple example: for(i in 1:100000){ cat(i, '\n') } What should I do in order for the cat function to be executed everytime it goes

Hello, I have used the functions agnes and cutree to cluster my data (4977 objects x 22 variables) into 8 clusters. I would like to refine the solution using a k-means or similar algorithm, setting the initial cluster centres as the group means from agnes. However my data matrix has NA's in it and the function kmeans does not appear to accept this? > dim(centres) [1] 8 22 > dim(data)

All, Can someone tell me if it is possible to add a legend to a plot produced with pairs()? I have an example akin to plotting the iris data given in the pairs help and would like to show what the symbols refer to somewhere. Thanks.

Hi All, My R code takes very long time to finish the processing. I want to see at what stage the script is running. So I wrote some output messages using cat. But instead of displaying the cat messages at different stages they are buffered and displayed in the end when entire processing is done. Can you please suggest how to stop this buffering or some alternative way to display messages Thank

Dear list Can anyone suggest a simple way to abort execution like stop(...) does, but without issuing an "Error: ..." message? I don't want to set 'options( show.error.messages=TRUE)' because I want normal behaviour to resume after this particular stop. (Please reply personally as well as to the list, as I'm not subscribed to R-help) Thanks Mark -- Mark Bravington

Bill Venables expected howls of protest about deprecation of underscore for assign. Here's my one-and-only howl on this point: (1) I don't like <- as an assignment operator, because it creates an ambiguity with comparisons: I can write "x+1", "x-1", "x<1" but not "x<-1". However, I guess it's a bit much to expect the entire R/S

When I give plot some bad paramaters, it keeps giving me error messages forever after. I think the last time this happened, I even got the error messages for completely unrelated, non-graphical functions. Here's a recent example: > plot(it[[31]][,c(1, 3)], type="b", usr=c(0, 20, -20, 5)) Warning messages: 1: parameter "usr" couldn't be set in high-level plot()

Dear R-devel On my Windows 2000 machine, I can build R-patched but not R-devel (since at least 1/9/2004). An error message pops up during the execution of some R code during "make", as below. In terms of "make" etc., I am totally clueless (not being a user of either Linux or C) and just mechanically follow the instructions in the R documentation; hence I've got no idea

There is a bug in `predict' whereby the order of variables sometimes gets re-arranged compared to the original fit, and then disaster results. Specifically, the 'variables' and 'predvars' attributes of a 'terms' object get out of synch. This only happens when the terms in the original formula get re-ordered during fitting: test> scrunge.data_ data.frame(
