Thanks Thomas and Marc that is what I was looking for. -Jason The DESCRIPTION file for a package lists the license; this is also given in the CRAN entry for each package. -thomas Marc Schwartz <MSchwartz@MedAnalytics.com> 03/30/2004 09:02 AM Please respond to MSchwartz To: Jason.L.Higbee@stls.frb.org cc: R-Help

R: Is there a reason why there isn't a Windows Binary version of RQuantlib on CRAN? Usually when there is no binary, I just source the source code, but this one appears to have various calls and methods and things like that so I'm hesitant to do so. I know there has been a big discussion on why Rmetrics doesn't have source for unix/linux, but that isn't on CRAN. Through

When I load R-WinEdt (>library(RWinEdt), I get the warning: Warning message: multi-argument returns are deprecated in: return(InstallRoot, RWinEdtInstalled) I have upgraded to R 1. 8 on Windows, by copying non-base libraries into the 1.8 library folder and updating the help. I also reinstalled R-WinEdt from the zip file as detailed in RWinEdt ReadMe file using the recommend (A)

R: I got a warning message when running the cor.test function using both Spearman and Kendall rank correlations saying that the p-value may be incorrect due to ties in the data. My data has 35 obs and one series has 6 pairs of ties. Does anyone know if this would likely have a great effect on the p-values calculated.. The values look good; tau = -0.68 with p-value = 8e-9 and rho = =0.84

R: This stems from my curiosity about the previous thread about a request for glm.nb code. The issue of package licenses was brought up and I was hoping for some clarification on that. Using the function license() or licence() gives info on the license for R, but something like license(MASS) does not give info on the license for the MASS package (perhaps it might be good to expand the

R: I need to minimize a function such that the parameters when used in another function result in a particular value, which i fix. That is, I need min(f(a,b)) given g(a,b)=X, where min(.) is the minimum, f(.) and g(.) are functions (with unknown gradients) of parameters a and b and X is a fixed value. What optimization function(s) in R do you suggest? constrOptim looks like it will work

Note that package.descripton() is deprecated in R-1.9.0. You have to use packageDescription() instead. Jim James W.

R-listers: I may be asking too much from R, but is there a way to use time indexing on a time series object. For instance: > tsobject <- ts(1:12, start =1999, freq = 4) > tsobject Qtr1 Qtr2 Qtr3 Qtr4 1999 1 2 3 4 2000 5 6 7 8 2001 9 10 11 12 > tsobject[1999,Qtr4] Error in NextMethod("[") : Object "Qtr4" not found I would

Dear list, I'd like to use the function cut() on matrices, ie that when I apply it to a matrix, it would return a matrix of the same dimensions instead of a vector. I wonder if there is a better (more elegant) solution than matrix(cut(a, ...), ncol=ncol(a), nrow=nrow(a)) because I would like to use cut on both vectors and matrices and avoid testing whether a is a matrix. Thanks, Tamas

Hi, The department of economics at our university (Budapest) is planning a course on numerical methods in economics. They are trying to decide which software to use for that, and I would like to advocate R. The other alternative is Matlab. I have found comparisons in terms of computational time for matrix algebra, but I don't think that is relevant: the bottleneck for economists is usually

R-Listers: I am doing a quasi-maximum likelihood estimation and I get a "subscript out of bound" error message, Typically I would think this means that a subscript used in the function is literally out of bounds however I don't think this is the case. All I change in the code is a constant, that is hard-wired in (not data dependent and not parameter dependent), furthermore,

Hi, I am about to but a laptop, and have narrowed the choices down to a Dell Latitude 600 and an Apple Powerbook G4 Aluminium (Princeton provides these models at a discount for grad students). I am biased towards the Powerbook, and would like to run Debian on it. I have only used debian on i386 platforms so far. I use R quite frequently, so I would be interested in your experience of running R

Hi, I am plotting a policy function (result from a dynamic stochastic optimization problem, discretized approximation). The policy function maps from an 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x B x F state space to a B x F state space (B and F are usually between 4-6, and represent domestic and foreign savings. The other variables are income (Y), inflation (Pi), domestic and foreign interest rates (R and Z)). I

Dear list, I have tried to setup my Xemacs for use with Sweave, which I indend to learn. I have followed the instructions in the Sweave FAQ, that is to say, I put (defun Rnw-mode () (require 'ess-noweb) (noweb-mode) (if (fboundp 'R-mode) (setq noweb-default-code-mode 'R-mode))) (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.Rnw\\'" .

R UseRs: I can't figure out how to append intermediate terms inside a For loop. My use of append(), various indexing, and use of data frames, vectors, matrices has been fruitless. Here's a simplified example of what I'm talking about: i <- 1 for(i in 10) { v[i] <- i/10 } > v [1] 1 NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA 1 I would like: [1] 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9

Dear List, I have a couple of (~200) 3x3 transition probability matrices (ie each defines a Markov chain). They are all estimated from the same underlying process, so it ie meaningful to take their elemetwise mean and standard deviation. [1] First question: supposing that they are given in a list l, how do I get their elementwise mean and standard deviation? Fortunately, the mean of trans. prob.

I need to find a computationally simple process for the movement of interest rates. In this simplified model, an interest rate can have 3--5 possible values, and its movement is characterized by a matrix of transition probabilities (ie, it is a Markov process). I would like to estimate this process from a given set of data. For example, let the interest rate time series be: 7 3 8 2 5 9 6

Hi, I am typesetting R code in TeX using the listings package. I have experimented with various settings for the text, but all look a bit ugly. This might be because I have no typographic experience ;-) I would really appreciate if people sent me the settings they use for the listings package (eg in the \usepackage line, or \lstset, I am thinking about choices for basicstyle, ... etc).
