similar to: RE: [S] Different behaviour of unique(), R vs. Splus.

Apologies for the cross-posting, but I thought this snippet of info might be vaguely interesting to both lists. I did a ***brief*** search to see if this issue had previously been discussed and found nothing. So I thought I'd tell the list about a difference in behaviour between unique() in R and unique() in Splus which bit me just now. I was trying to convert a package from Splus to R and

We've been working on making it easier to write packages that work in both R and Splus. One issue is that R and Splus use different internal representations of integers and this makes a difference on their 64-bit versions: R uses ints (32 bits on 32-bit and 64-bit versions of R) and Splus uses longs (32 bits on 32-bit Splus and 64 bits on 64-bit Splus). The obvious ways to deal with the

Hi, I've looked through the archives and seen several posts discussing technical differences between R and S(plus). It appears to me that R can likely functionally replace Splus for my situation, but I'm more interested in looking at the risks and benefits of moving from Splus to R from a (project) management point of view. Background (a bit wordy, I'm afraid): -

Dear Dr. Bivand and R-users, I have a 5 by 5 grid, say, location[1:5,1:5], and I want to know the indices of 8 neighbours of each cell. For example, for location[2,2], its neighbour coordinates are [1,1:3], [2,1], [2,3] and [3,1:3]. Sometimes I also need to remove edge effects (torus = TRUE). I have tried "cell2nb" function in your spdep package. Here's my example: > neigh

I have a PHP application with the following in one of the "views": <input type="button" onClick="newAlt()" value=" + "></nobr> The JavaScript for "newAlt()" is: // using DOM create new input box for alternate part function newAlt() { var html = "<input style=''background-color:#FFFFCC'' "; html +=

A few days ago, I sent a question to the r-help list enquiring about the *** LEGALITY *** of porting a function from Splus into R. As a particular example, I referred to error.bar. Several people posted code for various versions of error.bar which they had written, but that was NOT WHAT I WAS ASKING FOR/ABOUT!!! [Can't anybody ***read*** these days?] I asked: IS IT

Hello, I learnt there's an advanced R/Splus course in Boston this january. Anyone got the announcement? please kindly forward it to me. Best, Eugene

Hi all, Thanks for the wonderful forum with all the valuable help and comments here. I have been a splus user for the past 7 to 8 years and now crossing the mind of changing over to R. Have been doing a lot of reading and one of the main reasons is being an open source and the wonderful things that comes with that. My question is though, is it possible to export any of the function or librarys

Hello, I am looking for an explanation and/or fix for a discrepancy in the behaviour of the R lm.influence() function [ version R 1.5.0 (2002-04-29) ] and the same function in Splus [ Splus version 5.1 release 1, running on SGI IRIX 6.2]. The discrepancy is of concern because I am migrating some Splus scripts to R and need to ensure consistency of results. Specifically, when I fit a glm()

Hi all I have a couple of obscure questions for R/Splus experts (which unfortunately isn't me!) I am trying to compute Bayes Factors using some Splus code of Raftery in Gilks et al (1996). Only problem is 1) R doesn't seem to have a robust covariance (cov.mve) which I suspect I need rather than a non-robust classical estimate 2) Splus has cov.mve BUT dgamma in Splus doesn't have a

Full_Name: Ernesto Jardim Version: 1.2.2 OS: SuSE Linux 6.4 Submission from: (NULL) (193.137.98.92) I wanted to import an array, dim=c(28,12,17), from splus into R.On splus I did dump(c("array"),file="dump.out) I checked and Splus could source it. Than, in R I tryied to source it with: source("dump.out") and got and error message: > source("dump.out")

Hi All, I just used "dump" on Splus to transfer a pile of survival objects from Splus 3.4 on Solaris 7 to R 0.63.3 on Intel. The only trick is that survival objects contain an element holding the original call that generated the object. When Splus writes these out, it doesn't mark them in any way, so when R tries to read them in, it ends up trying to reevaluate the call. Not

Hello R/Splus users.. I am posting in R discussion group in hope of wider response compared to what I received from Splus user groups.... Was wondering if there is any function available in Splus 8.2 that is equivalent to "reshape" of R? Below is a sample dataset. Size [both rows and columns) of the dataset may vary X1 Y1 Y2 Y3 0.25 40 38 22 0.5 44 41

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,

Hi, Is there any difference in the gam() function in R and Splus? I just tried to do an Ace Plot (plotting the result of the gam() ) on a dataset. R gave me four (the data set has one response and four explanatory variables) ace plot with perfectly straight lines. I kind of felt that it is highly unlikely, so I tried it in Splus. Using the exact commands Splus gave me four completely

Hi For bureaucratic reasons beyond my control I need to rewrite an R function (for producing operating characteristic curves) as an Splus function ( version 6 , windows XP ). The R function makes extensive use of the fact that the student's t distribution function pt() has a non-centrality parameter built in ... sadly that parameter is not present in the Splus pt() function .

I've recently installed R for RH5.0 Linux and been considering moving existing work from Splus (Windows, 4.5). Also installed the win95 R, but this doesn't seem to work as well, and in any case the idea is to move toward Linux. 1 I attach and detach directories freely and often in Splus. Is it anticipated that it will be possible to do this in R in the future? 2 The ascii representation
