R Team: This is most likely a trivial question, but after searching docs for several weeks and digging through Rweb and RCGI, I could not clearly identify the method to call an R method from Linux or Win32 systems and send the output to a file. I would like to implement R as part of an online client-server application for a geographically spaced engineering team an would like to know how to run

Hello, WRE contains the following information about the "exec" subdirectory of a package : "Subdirectory exec could contain additional executables the package needs, typically scripts for interpreters such as the shell, Perl, or Tcl. This mechanism is currently used only by a very few packages, and still experimental." I think it would be useful to expand "very

I was a bit puzzed by: > formatC(6.65,format="f",digits=1) [1] "6.6" So I experimented and found: > formatC(6.6500000000000001,format="f",digits=1) [1] "6.6" > formatC(6.650000000000001,format="f",digits=1) [1] "6.7" > round(6.6500000000000001,1) [1] 6.7 > round(6.650000000000001,1) [1] 6.7 > version

A funny thing happened when I wanted a student of mine to install Brugs. Using the InstallPackages in the windows version, firts gives an erro, but trying again works flawlessly. R version is 2.7.0 on WinXP. Any explanation?

Hi, I'm trying to run on Windows 7 a scriptfile with Rscript.exe from within Excel 2010 with the following code: Call Shell(rPath & "\Rscript.exe C:\Work\Latest\_Test.R", vbHide) The good news is: the above code works perfectly, but ... If I add white spaces to my map directory, like: Call Shell(rPath & "\Rscript.exe C:\Work\Latest 1\_Test.R", vbHide) In the

In version 2.8.1, running Rcmd check on the package foo would leave the file foo-manual.tex in the folder foo.Rcheck. But as of 2.9.0 only foo-manual.pdf and foo-manual.log are there. Is this intentional? Anyway it is inconvenient, because I would occasionally like to include the manual at the end of a set of exercises, and this was a convenient file to \input with a few select %'s added.

Dear R users I wonder if it is possible to run R code in the batch mode like in Splus (Splus5 scriptfile outputfile). Any hints?

Dear all, I import my data from a csv-file containing one row with date-entries. How can I tell R to treat this data as dates? I've tried to bring it in character-format (as.charachter()) followed by as.POSIXlt() but I get an error message, that the character string is not in a standard unambiguous format, although the date is of format yyyy-mm-dd (what is standard format according to R

I am updating the Epi package. I added functions named pc.points and pc.matpoints. Erroneously I wrote pc.plot and pc.matplot in the NAMESPACE file and of course got an error from Rcmd check. So I corrected the NAMESPACE file, but I still get from r-check: * install options are ' --no-html' Loading required package: utils Error in namespaceExport(ns, exports) : undefined exports:

Sometimes you want to compute the physical size of a plot based on data. In R itself this is no problem. But is there a way to compute the values of height and width in S-weave, say: <<graph,fig=TRUE,height=xx,width=yy>>= where xx and yy are computed and not physically written in the document?

I run Windows XP. and in a command window I get: > c:\stat\r\R-2.13.1\bin\i386\Rcmd Sweave Lexis.rnw Error in length(arg) : 'arg' is missing Calls: <Anonymous> Execution halted AND: > c:\stat\r\R-2.13.1\bin\i386\Rcmd Sweave --help Error in length(arg) : 'arg' is missing Calls: <Anonymous> Execution halted BUT: > c:\stat\r\R-2.13.0\bin\i386\Rcmd Sweave

In Venables \& Ripley 3rd edition (p. 231) the proportional odds model is described as: logit(p<=k) = zeta_k + eta but polr apparently thinks there is a minus in front of eta, as is apprent below. Is this a bug og a feature I have overlooked? Here is the naked code for reproduction, below the results. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- version

hi i want to ask a simple question: exists a samba VFS module for interpreting a file on access? (mostly the same as a dynamic file on an webserver) if not, i want to suggest it ;-) a simple example: a share with an single MS-DOS .bat file on it; this .bat file is (for example) a bash script file; if the file is accessed via SMB than smbd executes this script and handles the stdout output of

I have an odd problem in building a package with only R-code in it. I have a package mainly used by myself which I last build under R 1.9.0.

I have a samll package that works well and complies nicly on WinXP, using R-2.4.1 Now I want to add a document so i make a folder inst\doc and put the .tex and .pdf in there. But the complation then crashes. Is this because the installin expects some file to be present in inst if an inst folder is there? This is how the thing progress is on my command promp:

This is how I get the month names from within R: > mon <- rep(strptime("01/01/1952", format = "%d/%m/%Y"), 12) > mon$mon <- mon$mon + 0:11 > mnam <- months(mon, abbreviate = F) > mnam [1] "januar" "februar" "marts" "april" "maj" "juni" "juli" "august"

Has anyone written a function that will print a difftime in the form: hh:mm:ss or yy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss depending on the actual size. (sloppy notation for months/minutes, but surely you get the point).

Tha handy thinb about the fig=TRUE option in Sweave is that you do not have to bother about filenames and starting and stpping the device. I want the the resulting LaTeX to look as: \begin{Schunk} \begin{Sinput} > x <- seq(-2 * pi, 2 * pi, 0.1) > plot(x, cos(x), type = "l", lwd = 4) \end{Sinput} \end{Schunk} \begin{figure} \includegraphics[width=0.6\textwidth]{xx-001}
