Greetings from Switzerland! Are there any plans/initiatives/considerations in future versions of R for commenting out regions via something like " /* */ "? (I've got an application for which something like that would be useful; if not, there are less simple solutions). best, -tony "Commit early,commit often, and commit in a repository from which we can easily roll-back

Greetings! I have a few colleagues who like the idea of Sweave, but have failed to become enlightened monks of the One True Editor (http://www.dina.dk/~abraham/religion/) Are there any other Microsoft-centric editors or IDEs which have solid support for writing SWeave documents (dual R / LaTeX enhancements similar to ESS's support)? Has anyone tried the folding editors which support Noweb?

Dear colleague, Just an e-mail to know if they are people working in the field of chemoinformatic that are using R in their work. If yes I was wondering if we couldn't exchange tips and tricks about the use of R in this area ? Best regards Fred Ooms [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I will say this first -- I can't copy/paste the error message from the screen, so it's being retyped. Errors might occur. SORRY. I've been experiencing some interesting stack warnings recently when moving from R 2.2.x to the R 2.3.0 series and the R 2.4.0 series. In particular, I'm getting warnings of "Error: C stack usage is too close to the limit" before

For those who suggest other ways to do this, I ALREADY HAVE ANOTHER DESIGN SOLUTION, DESCRIBED AT THE END. That being said, I want to know if it's possible to reference a slot in an S4 class from another slot, i.e. I'd like to have the "self.*" semantics of Python so that I can reuse a slot. That is, for various reasons it would be nice to be able to do something like:

R-devel, SVN revision 35729 (this morning, euro-time) So far, I'm having awful luck with the "installWithVers" flags. Recent example: I can install.packages("lattice", installWithVers=TRUE) successfully (no errors, at least it looks like a successful install), but can't load it: Error in library.dynam(pkg,pkg,lib) : shared library 'lattice_0.12-7' not found

Well, nothing has changed in the issues that I brought up earlier, except that I can confirm core dumps in non-threaded lisps as well (CLISP), using svn version 37840 (this morning, Seattle time) for R-2-3-patches. I've not tried Thomas' suggested fixes, as I'm hesistant to go down the road of fixing R in such a way that would require constant patching. (so for those counting,

Hello, I am trying to understand how to utilize the "mvr" function in the pls Package of R. I am utilizing the R "pls Package" document dated 18 May 2005 as guidance. My data set consists of a 12 x 12 data frame created from reading in a table of values. I have read the data in via the command: volumes <- read.table("THA_vol.txt", header = TRUE) and then

Hello, I'm a newbie on this list. I have a R code but its execution take a very long time. Is it possible to compile it (in C for example) to decrease the execution time ? -- ---------------- Alexandre DEPIRE INRETS / GARIG

(1) It seems to me that, generally, in R it is not possible to overload functions. Is that right? (2) Assuming that the above is true, or partially true, is there any extra packages to handle overloading in R? (3) Assuming (1) is TRUE and (2) is FALSE, can anyone provide some advice on developing some function that understand what the arguments are and then calls the right overloaded

I'm trying to develop some graphic methods for glm objects, but they only apply for models where all predictors are discrete factors. How can I test for this in a function, given the glm model object? That is, I want something that will serve as an equivalent of is.discrete.glm() in the following context: myplot.glm <- function(model, ...) { if (!inherits(model,"glm"))

Suppose one wanted to build an R wizard for packaging... One would need to specify and create: package-name/ package-name/Description package-name/INDEX package-name/R/ package-name/man/ package-name/src/ >From this, we'd "probably" like to: - script-up the Description - provide a script for regenerating INDEX by calling out to the

Hi, I've just managed to install R on Suse-9.2. Unfortunately there seem to be no Ess packages in Suse distri available. Doesn't seem like that Suse is ever to integrate these packages (since 2000)!? Are there any precompiled binaries around? So far I haven't been lucky to find any of them on rpmfind and similar sites. Maybe someone has already Ess binary for Suse-9.2 and is willing

Hello, I am looking for any packages, tutorials, documents,... about the use of R for the analysis of HTS data. Thanks for your help Fred [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, this is the first announcement of a *developer version* of the R package BRugs, which is based on OpenBUGS 2.1.0. OpenBUGS 2.1.0 has been released earlier this week (http://mathstat.helsinki.fi/openbugs/). BRugs contains a complete OpenBUGS installation as well as R code to access OpenBUGS functionality from R. Simply install the package, load it and say ?BRugs and ?BRugsFit

Hi We have been cross-compiling windows packages under Linux using the excellent Makefile and instructions by Tony Rossini and Jun Yan. Specifically we have been cross-compiling c++ code and it used to work. Now the minGW tools located at www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools have changed from version 4 to version 5, and our cross-compiling have stopped working. Inspecting the tarball we are

Hello, I am guessing this is not a difficult question. But at the same time, I haven't had much luck figuring this issue out from the R documentation and help pages. How can I create superscript text in the labels of a plot? The parameter along my y-axis is volume and my desire is for the y-axis label to read "Volume (cm^3)" except with the "3" in the superscript

Hi, is there any way to execute scripts in R (Windows) without the script being copied to the console, so that only error messages are reported? Or to have a second console in parallel? Please. Not being able to hit the F10 button like in S-Plus seriously impairs my productivity (not only because it is slow and clutters my console history). And totally unrelated: Is there any chance that R
