Hello! I use Sweave for a report and up to now I always copied Sweave.sty to a folder where I have the report. But this can be done better (or did I miss anything) with * extension of TEXMF variable in texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf or * linking /usr/lib/R/share/texmf to somewhere in /usr/share/texmf I tried with the following and I didn't need to put Sweave.sty in folder with a report: cd

Hi All, is there a ETA for R 2.2.0 on Etch (Debian testing) or do I need pinning pinning (a solution I'd rather not use)? Cheers, Federico -- Federico C. F.

I have both gcc-3.4 and gcc-4.0(.1) installed on my system (debian-amd64 unstable), with links /usr/bin/gcc, g77, etc. to the 3.4 versions. When I build R, the 3.4 version is picked up, which is fine. However, when I 'install.packages("xyz")', R uses gcc-4.0 and gfortran-4.0! Should I accept this or do something about it? And if so, what? Of course, removing all 4.0 versions

Dear useRs, I timed the same code (simulation with for loops) on the same box (dual Xeon EM64T, 1.5 Gb RAM) under 3 OSs and was surprised by the results: Windows XP Pro (32-bit): Time difference of 5.966667 mins 64-bit GNU/Linux (Fedora Core 4): Time difference of 6.966667 mins 32-bit GNU/Linux (FC4): Time difference of 9.2 mins (R 2.1.0 binaries downloaded from CRAN) I searched the

Hi, I noticed that when I was conducting some calculation involving finding correlation coeficients, R stopped abnormally. So I did some research, and find out that 0/0 was the culprit. For sure 0/0 is not a valid expression, but R should give a warning, an error msg or NaN instead of segmentation fault. I am using R 2.1.0 under Gentoo Linux. My GCC version is 3.3.5. Xing

Dear R-help, Can someone please help me discover what function or code will give me a p-value from the input: 1) R-square statistic from a simple linear regression, and 2) sample size, n This would be greatly appreciated. I need this because I am using a database that gives me R-square and sample size for multiple comparisons, and I wish to determine the false discovery rate using q-value.

Dear Colleagues would someone know a suitable online-source for information regarding the TRAMO SEATS method for time series ?

Dear R list, I am reading in text file data prepared in Access database by someone. One of the field contains timestamp data, how can I separate the timestamp data into two varaibles: date and time. Can I specify the field is in timestamp format when I first reading in ? My reading in data are as below: 449 LWT 22/10/2003 15:43:00 441 143 449 LWT 17/11/2003 15:25:00 421 169 449 LWT

Hello, I'm adding a private library tree in my home directory by adding this to my ~/.Renviron: R_LIBS="~/R/library:${R_LIBS}" so that once in R: R> cat(Sys.getenv("R_LIBS"), "\n") ~/R/library:/usr/local/lib/R/site-library:/usr/lib/R/site-library:/usr/lib/R/library Is this the best way to proceed?

Dear R users, I am using R version 2.0.1 (2004/11/15) on an i386-pc-mingw32 platform. I encounter the following problem while using cumsum: > a <- rep(0.01, 100) > b <- cumsum(a) > sum(a) == 1 [1] TRUE > b[100] == 1 [1] FALSE Am I missing something? Should cumsum have such an outcome? Thanks in advance for any clarifications any of you can offer. Regards, Makram Talih --

How can one convert back slashes to forward slashes, e.g, changing "c:\a\b" to "c:/a/b"? I tried the following: > gsub("\\\\", "/", "c:\a\b") [1] "c:\a\b" Since this didn't work, I eliminated the replacement as a contributor as follows: > gsub("X", "/", "c:XaXb") [1] "c:/a/b"

Dear R People: When looking at the previous postings regarding TRAMO-SEATS, I am somewhat puzzled. Is it true that we CANNOT replicate TRAMO-SEATS because of licensing or ownership issues, please? If not, would anyone be interested in an R version of it, please? Thanks, Sincerely, Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences University of Houston -

Hi, I have C/C++ code from which I wish I could call R to do something useful. I saw a 2003 message by Thomas saying that "You can compile R as a shared library, which allows you to construct and evaluate R expressions from C." Any more information would be helpful. I am looking for some documentation that has a more step by step like instructions. Anyone who has experience, please

Hello list, A short time ago, I found http://johnhaller.com/jh/useful_stuff/portable_apps_suite/, which contains basically a complete set of office tools that can be run *entirely* from a USB key. The concept is: - find a Windows PC - put in your USB key - run OpenOffice, Firefox, Gaim, Nvu, Thunderbird, ... directly from your USB key, with no app installation required - save your files wherever

I would like to install the latest version of R (the statistical computing software). This is package r-base version 2.2.0 and is in the debian 'unstable' repository. Otherwise my system has 'sarge' packages, including r-base 2.1.0. What is the best way to do this? If I don't want to upgrade to unstable, must I compile R myself, or is there some way to install this as a
