State Space models in R
Hello everybody,
I am writing a review paper about State Space models in R, and I would
like to cover as many packages as I reasonably can.
So far I am familiar with the following tools to deal with SS models:
* StructTS, Kalman* (in stats)
* packages dse[1-2]
* package sspir
* package dlm
I would like to have some input from users who work with SS models:
are there any other packages for SS

tapply and empty subsets
I am using tapply to compute means by group, as in
> tapply(y, z, mean)
1 2 3
21.00757 20.50031 NA
where y is a vector and z a factor with levels 1:3.
I would like to get a zero instead of the NA I get when a subset is
empty. The problem is that FUN is not applied to empty cells of the
ragged array. (Of course I am willing to define a function my.mean

knitr customization
I am trying to transition from Sweave to knitr, but there are a few
things about customization of the appearence of R input and output that
I did not get yet. Maybe somebody on the list can help me.
In my Sweave presentations I used a slanted font for the R input and a
normal font for the output, both in a small font. I also indented
everything by an extra 2em. All this was achieved by the

Two math expressions in plot
Hello!
I am trying to put two math expressions in the title of a plot. As
you can see below, I can place correctly one expression at a time, but
not both. Ideally I would like to have them separated by a comma. Any
suggestions?

Sweave, beamer and alert within code chunks
Hi all,
Using Beamer, in order to highlight a piece of R code I do something
like this - note the "\structure" and "\alert" commands:

What is the difference between S and R?

I'll take a look at this book.
Since S and R are not completely the same, there are delicate
differences between S and R, which an S book may be confusing if I
want to learn R. One example is Statistical Models

quantile function
I am trying to `cut' a continuous variable into contiguous classes
containing approximately an equal number of observations. I thought
quantile() was the appropriate function to use in order to find the
breakpoints, but I end up with classes of different sizes - see
example below. Does anybody have an explanation for that? And what is

Means of Monte Carlo simulated lists
Hello,
I am doing simulations, and I generate a list at each iteration (with
three component matrices in the example below), saving the results in
a list. For example, after two iterations, I have something like

Forecasting with dlm
Hi All,
I have a problem trying to forecast using the dlm package, can anyone offer
any advise?
I setup my problem as follows, (following the manual as much as possible)
data for example to run code

Printing zero as dot
I'm pretty sure I've seen some examples of a function printing zero
entries in a matrix as dots, but I'm not able to find it now...
Any suggestions...? Thanks in advance. (Of course, I might have dreamt
of such a function...)
Best,

SVD of a variance matrix
Hello!
I suppose this is more a matrix theory question than a question on R,
but I will give it a try...
I am using La.svd to compute the singular value decomposition (SVD) of
a variance matrix, i.e., a symmetric nonnegative definite square
matrix. Let S be my variance matrix, and S = U D V' be its SVD. In my
numerical experiments I always got U = V. Is this necessarily the
case? Or I might

Synchronizing R libraries on N machines?
Hello!
I am using R on two different machines (under Ubuntu and OS X, but this
is probably irrelevant) and I would like to keep the two installations
'synchronized', in particular in terms of installed packages. For
example, if I install package xxx on my Linux machine, I would like to
find it installed also on my Mac, and vice versa.
I imagine this to be a fairly common problem, so I

dlm with constant terms
Hi,
I am trying to figure how to use dlm with constant terms
(possibly time-dependent) added to both equations
y_t = c_t + F_t\theta_t + v_t
\theta_t = d_t + G_t\theta_{t-1} + w_t,
in the way that S-PLUS Finmetrics does?
Is there any straightforward way to transform the above to
the default setup?
Thanks,

Improving efficiency in "outer"-like calculation

I am doing mcmc=10000 simulations from a posterior distribution of the parameters
of a mixture of K=6 normal densities.
I have mcmc by K matrices simMeans, simVars and simWeights containing
the simulation output: one row for each simulation, one column for
each normal component of the mixture.
One thing I would like to do is a plot of the posterior predictive
