Hi, This question seems to be old, however I am asking it from a different point of view. R introduces itself as a 'statistical' language and environment. There are many discussions about comparing R to MATLAB or mathematica (or other similar software). It seems to me that these other software have a broader range of applications. For example, in Mathematica one can solve a partial

Hi, I'm trying to use R to get eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix whose elements are of the form (2 * lambda), -(lambda + mu), etc. I'd like R to treat this matrix as a numeric matrix without treating lambda and mu as variable names but rather as some sort of atomic quantities (and hence give eigenvectors in terms of mu and/or lambda). MatLab and Mathematica both do this,

Also sent to Codeweavers - [what is this list's insights?] I have a 32 GB, dual quad-core desktop machine and was considering 32-bit Windows XP w/SP2, but discovered it only supports up to 4 GB RAM, so that idea is shot. Next in line is 64-bit CentOS 5. The major need for Windows would be very active use of Adobe Acrobat 8, Photoshop CS3, and Illustrator CS3. There may also be the need

I have some programs which were writen in mathematica or c language, but I donot know how to use these software. So I want to run them in R. Can I do it ? How to run "mathematica" or "c" programs in R? Jian Zhang [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello all, I hope I'm writing to the correct place. I believe that the R homepage will benefit from including the "description" meta tag in it's homepage. The reason is that google uses that tag to decide what to show when the R homepage shows up on a search result. The current description of the first result of searching "R" in google is: "*R*, also called GNU

Hi People, I have just started building my own RPMS on both Fedora and CentOS and generally things have gone well. Currently I am trying to create RPMS for some commercial software that we have purchased. Step 1 was install the software using its JAVA Based installer ensuring that all files were installed into a particular directory in /usr/local. Step 2 was create a tar file of the

Hi, this is not an R-help post, but I found this extract below that was written by a leading mathematician back in 1999 when he was talking about statistics and computing. I found it interesting to share and I ask your opinion do you think this still holds today or things have changed? Thanks. ?...we would also like to mention that in our opinion Mathematica provides an excellent and indeed

Hi, I'm responding to a post about finding roots of a cubic or quartic equation non-iteratively. One obviously could create functions using the explicit algebraic solutions. One post on the subject noted that the square-roots in those solutions also require iteration, and one post claimed iterative solutions are more accurate than the explicit solutions. This post, however, is about

What are some effective ways to leverage the strengths of R and Mathematica for the analysis of a single data set? More specifically, are there any functions that can assist with any of the following? 1. Calling an R function from Mathematica. 2. Calling a Mathematica function from R. 3. Using XML or another reliable data format to pass vectors, matrices, and/or lists from one environment to

Dear R-list members, I have a problem with translating a mathematica script into R. The whole script is at the end of the email (with initial values for easy reproduction) and can be pasted directly into R. The problematic part (which is included below of course) is <--- Original Mathematica ---> (* p_svbar *) UiA = Ni (Dsi - 2Di A + A^2)/2; UiiA = Nii (Dsii - 2Dii A + A^2)/2; psvbar =

Hello, I discovered R two years ago and thanks to the R-community I managed to write some scripts to analyze my data stored in mysql databases. The only problem is that I am the only one using R in the lab. Colleagues mainly use Matlab (but not with mysql, only with text files) but regularly come to me to get data treated with R-scripts !!!. To allow the use of my scripts by other people, my

I think the computations for the cumulative distribution function of the students t distribution in R are not very accurate. For instance, the cdf of a students t distribution with 13 degrees of freedom

Hi all, I am an R newbie trying to do some calculations I do in Mathematica in R on a GNU/Linux system. The main thing I am interested in doing is taking a 0.999 quantile on a data set in a file who's data is normally distributed, say foo.csv. e.g in Mathematica if I have something like this : a=Import["foo.csv"] b=Transpose[a][[1]] Quantile[b,0.999] In R I can load all the data

I just tried rendering a plot of 166 data point (time series) on my PPC mac, and compared it with the same data rendered by Mathematica. The R plotting is very slow to paint and repaint, compared to Mathematica. This also makes it extremely awkward to use in other documentation such as pdfLatex. On closer inspection, it looks like the Mathematica plot is just a polyline, while in R it is a

Hello list, I am dealing with a noisy function (gradient,hessian not available) with simple boundary constraints (x_i>0). I've tried constrOptim() using nelder mead to minimize it but it is way too slow and the returned results are not satisfying. simulated annealing is so hard to tune and it always crashes R program in my case. I wonder if there are any packages or functions can do
