similar to: Assigning functions in Rprofile

I'm testing a FC5 machine for use in a student lab. R 2.3.1 is installed and seems to work fine. There is one peculiarity - the logins are authenticating to a server, and a "verbose" flag is set somewhere, leading to lots of spurious messages like this request done: ld 0xa227598 msgid 1 which may be confusing R. However, R CMD check seems to fail for packages with no

Hello All, I'm getting this error (Version: 1.9.0-1 on a debian system) > update.packages("mgcv") trying URL `ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/cran/src/contrib/PACKAGES' ftp data connection made, file length 169516 bytes opened URL .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... ..........

I'm tidying up the gld package at the moment, and the following is my best effort at checking if values are outside the range of the function (which is [0,1] in this case). It seems incredibly messy - is there something better? outside.range <- !as.logical(((p<1)*(p>0))|(sapply(p, all.equal,1)=="TRUE")|(sapply(p, all.equal, 0)=="TRUE")) ---- Robert King,

Hello. I am using R 1.7.1 just downloaded on Win98. With the old 1.6.2 I had modified the etc/Rprofile file as etc/Rprofile # Things you might want to change # options(width=80) # options(papersize="a4") # options(editor="notepad") # options(pager="internal") # to prefer Compiled HTML help options(chmhelp=TRUE) # to prefer HTML help # options(htmlhelp=TRUE) # to

Hello, What am I doing wrong about creating an index for my package documentation? Using 2.9.2, I am checking the gld package. It reports the following (all earlier lines OK): * checking PDF version of manual ... WARNING LaTeX errors when creating PDF version. This typically indicates Rd problems. * checking PDF version of manual without index ... ERROR When I look in the gld.Rcheck

Hi, This is my first time posting to the mailing list, so if I'm doing something wrong, just let me know. I've taken ~1000 samples from 8 biological replicates, and I want to somehow combine the density functions of the replicates. Currently, I can plot the density function for each biological replicate, and I'd like to see how pool of replicates compares to a simulation I conducted

I would like to use Rterm in Windows XP and have the help files appear in text format in the terminal rather than in the html popup window. For example, I would like to enter help(lm) and get the text to appear in the terminal window. Can anyone suggest a way to do this? Thanks and Happy Hew Year. Tom -- View this message in context:

Dear all, When creating new functions in a package, there is a "See also" component in the Rd file. Usually one uses \link{otherfun}, if the other function is from the same package, or \link[otherpackage]{otherfun} otherwise. The trouble is that I install new packages not in the default R library folder, but into some other subfolder in my home, so the link searches for

16396:055d98aa2dd0 almost works but not quite. LDFLAGS_DIRECT means we end up with: gld -melf_i386 -nostdlib -N -Ttext 0x100000 -o hvmloader.tmp hvmloader.o mp_tables.o util.o smbios.o 32bitbios_support.o acpi/acpi.a Specifying a linker script and asking for -nostdlib is obviously contradictory. Removing $(LDFLAGS_DIRECT) fixes the problem. regards john

Hi All, I would like to work with symbols referenced by strings: I would like to manipulate data/symbols referencing to them by the string name of the symbol. An example will be clearer. Let's I get a time series through quantmod > getSymbols("GLD") This will create a new symbol GLD with the relevant data. I have tried to rename the column names as follows: >

Hi, I can't pinpoint exactly since what R version I first noticed this error, but are others seeing this?

Dear All, Is it possible to simulate an AR(1) process via a distribution? I have simulated an AR(1) process the usual way (that is, using a model specification and using the random deviates in the error), and used the generated time series to estimate 3- and 4-parameter distributions (for instance, GLD). However, the random deviates generated from these distributions do not follow the

I would appreciate some advice on what the preferred contents of RProfile.site vs. .Rprofile should be. A .First() function can reside in either one, but is it preferred to place it in .Rprofile? I currently use .First() in .Rprofile files placed in separate directories used for different RStudio projects. Thank you [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R-List member, I have installed the new version of R on my PC (see system details below). I can start the RGui with http_proxy succesfully.

Hi, After updating to R 2.7, my .Rprofile executes twice on startup. I confirmed this by putting in the following line: print("starting .Rprofile...") When I start R, I see: [1] "starting .Rprofile..." [1] "starting .Rprofile..." This seems like the obverse of the following FAQ:
