similar to: General Question re R vs S-Plus

In the process of learning R, with a specific interest on financial time series. While I continue to get through the documents I am more a fan of learning by example and then looking up how each function is used. Any websites which post sample code for R? Thanks in advance. -- Jonathan jqm475 at gmail.com

Please consider adding the following to the next R release (I understand that it's too late for R-2.1.0). It adds the menu item `Search R Site' in the `Help' menu in Rgui (which calls RSiteSearch() on the input string).

Hello, I am not currently using R but I have been using S+ for sevaral years. I think that I fit in the category of power users, never using the GUI prefering the flexibility of a command line interface (CLI). In a short while I will try to move to R, that is if we can convince our IT people that installing a freeware package on a Unix server will not damaged the companie's network! The

Dear list mates, Are {utils} dialog box functions, and winMenuAdd... functions used to change (e.g. Console) menus, platform dependent? I'm writing a script loaded with .First that provides first time users in a lab course with the ability to select, load, and change between what I called a 'session' (more specific save that focuses on the session object I defined rather than the

Microsoft Windows R users, I am operating Windows 2000 (build2195) with R1.7. It may be pertinent that I am using a dual head screen with the initial RGui filing the entire area of both screens. When starting R I use the .First() function to add menu items to the RGui interface using winMenuAdd() and winMenuAddItem(). The menus do not display until the RGui window is physically manipulated in

Hi, I have downloaded and modified the source for rgui - because I wanted to add a few more custom menus to the GUI. I have almost got it completed, but have spent the last four hours trying to resolve the following issues (no pun intended !) Linking... R.lib(R.dll) : error LNK2005: _WatchCursor already defined in cursors.obj R.lib(R.dll) : error LNK2005: _ArrowCursor already defined in

Dear R-devel list members: I have two internationalization questions, related to questions that I posed previously. These pertain to Windows (I've tried under Win XP but assume the issue is more general) and R 2.1.1 patched and 2.2.0 devel. (1) I've noticed that the standard Windows dialogs in R -- whether initiated from the Rgui menus, from winDialog(), or from tcltk functions such as

Aside from An Introduction to R by W. N. Venables, D. M. Smith (the PDF is free), what would people recommend as a good starter book? I was thinking of introductory Statistics with R by Peter Dalgaard. Any thoughts?? My knowledge of Stats is stale and the primary use of R is for time series analysis. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- Jonathan jqm475 at gmail.com

Folks: Winnt; R1.7.0 (freshly installed) running under Rgui.exe.,MDI=yes. The following is repeatable: On startup, in my Rprofile.site file, I use winMenuAdd() etc. to install some user menus. However, they do not appear when R GUI window opens. If I minimize and restore the window, the added menus now are present. The exact same procedure under 1.6.2 with exactly the same Rprofile.site and

R 1.4.0 is now sinking into feature freeze, and we'd like some help testing it under Windows. Duncan Murdoch and Uwe Ligges have already volunteered. I've put a copy of SetupR140.exe at http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/RWin Also in that directory is a file TESTING suggesting some tests, not all of which have been run on this build. As the graphics internals have been changed a lot

Hi all: Newbies (and others!) may find useful the R Reference Card made available by Tom Short of EPRI Solutions at http://www.rpad.org/Rpad/Rpad-refcard.pdf or through the "Contributed" link on CRAN (where some other reference cards are also linked). It categorizes and organizes a bunch of R's basic, most used functions so that they can be easily found. For example,

just started using r. a few questions I can't figure out. first, when loading in a text file, I can do it from the web but not from hard drive. Fil<- 'http://www.test.com/file.txt' -- works Fil<- 'c:\program files\file.txt' --does not. what am i doing wrong?? also, how do you plot a graph of a time series that is lagged? i.e., plot(sp,type='l') but say

A few days ago I loaded R version 1.4.1 to run on Windows 98 and haven't been able to find information on the GUI approach in the FAQs, R Reference Index, or Search Engine . Edit has an item that allows changing GUI preferences, and the Target path in the icon ends in Rgui.exe, so it appears that R for Windows does include using the GUI approach. In S-Plus I wrote a application with

I'm using R on Windows XP Professional SP2. I figured out the fix for my buffer overflow problem that did not allow me to use Rgui.exe for about two weeks. I would keep getting "console not found" and even when I uninstalled and re-installed got the same problem. Here's how the problem started. In Rgui.exe, I attempted to get more visible output in the buffer (I wanted

Hi all, I have a .First <- function() {...} in the Rprofile.site file. Through .First() I'm adding several menus to the GUI to access several functions I've been developing for own use. However, I also need to launch R scripts silently in a batch way, and in this case I get the error message: "Error in winMenuAdd(menuname, NULL, NULL): Menu functions can only be used in the

Hello list, I have encountered a problem trying to save graphs using the R-graphics menu: File|Save as. The menu suggests that files may be saved as either Metafile, Postscript, pdf, png, bmp, jpeg. When I specify any of those file formats a menu comes up requesting a file name. After providing a name R invariably hangs and has to be restarted. I am able to save files under the various

Greetings, Can anyone confirm that R can access more than 2GB of virtual memory on Windows? We are in the process of porting a memory-hungry routine from Linux. We are using R 1.8.1 on Windows 2000 Advanced Server; we've set the 3GB switch in boot.ini, and rebooted twice. We have run editbin against Rgui.exe ad Rterm.exe and confirmed the header settings with dumpbin.exe. We are invoking R

In Rgui (rw0641) the dialog boxes opened by Help->R(standard interface) and Help->Apropos have to be closed by actually clicking on OK, rather than by hitting return. (Once I'm at the keyboard typing in the search term, return is more natural than going back to the mouse. But maybe I'm just old-fashioned.) Is it OK to mention two bugs in one report? After using
