My organization has a policy against "installing software downloaded from the Internet." There is a waiver procedure, but it is difficult and lengthy. It is much easier to get approval to purchase software, even if it is a CD copy of open-source. However, a search on r-project.org didn't seem to show any way of obtaining the distribution in this way. Any clues would be

Dear List, Some of you have been following the discussion of the GPL and its inclusion in the glmmADMB package we created for R users. I would like to provide a bit of background and include an email we received from Prof. Ripley so that everyone can be aware of how some might use the GPL to try to force access to proprietary software. I think this is interesting because many have voiced the

Hi, Has anyone had any joy getting the rgdal package to compile under windows? I've been trying with MinGW using Duncan Murdoch's Rtools but to no avail. After unpacking the tarball I put it here: D:\rw1091\src\library\rgdal>ls DESCRIPTION R configure inst man INDEX cleanup configure.in install.R src And then tried:

I getting compilation errors when trying to install GLMMGibbs (see below). I'm running R v 1.7.1 on SuSE Linux 8.2. Has anyone else had this problem? I tried it on a Win2000/R 1.5.1 combination and it worked fine. Any hints are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, Damien >install.packages("GLMMGibbs") trying URL `http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/PACKAGES'

My understanding is that if a licensee wants to redistribute GPL code (or work derived from GPL code), then it has to be done under GPL as well, meaning the person must make it known to users that they can have access to the source code if so desired, and they can do anything they want with that code (including selling), but GPL must remain in force for further redistribution. FSF used to sell

I am attempting to build a package on r-forge and running into a weird error. I have been in correspondence with the R-forge admins and am turning to r-devel on the remote chance that someone might have a guess as to what is going wrong or a suggestion about further diagnostics/experiments I could try ... The package seems to build fine on my system(s) with R CMD build --compact-vignettes

Hi there, I am new to the package glmmadmb, but need it to perform a zero-inflated gzlmm with a binomial error structure. I can't seem to get it to work without getting some strange error messages. I am trying to find out what is affecting the number of seabird calls on an array of recorders placed at 4 sites on 6 islands. I have nightly variables (weather and moonlight), site variables

Dear R-users, Half a year ago we put out the R package "glmmADMB" for fitting overdispersed count data. http://otter-rsch.com/admbre/examples/glmmadmb/glmmADMB.html Several people who used this package have requested additional features. We now have a new version ready. The major new feature is that glmmADMB allows Bernoulli responses with logistic and probit links. In addition there

Greetings glmmADMB function users, I am trying to run a series of models using the glmmADMB function with several different distribution families (e.g., poisson, negbinom). I am using a Optiplex 790 PC with Windows 7, 16.0 GB of RAM and a 64-bit operating system. I am running R version 2.15.0 and started out using the most recent version of glmmADMB (I believe version 7.2.15). My data is zero

Dear all, I am having some problems trying to run a GLMM model with zero-inflation using the alpha version of glmmADMB (0.6.4) using R (2.13.1) in Windows and I would greatly appreciate some help. My count response variable (number of birds: count) fits a negative binomial distribution and the explanatory variables are both continuous and categorical (species= 17). The three random effects are

Dear all, First of all, I thank you for the creation of the package. I write this message concerning the write.foreign() function from the foreign package and a bug that I discovered. When we want to save our dataset as a .sas file, the limit of variable names character is 8 by default. In SAS this limit is 32 character and an argument in the function, validvarname, can theorically switch the

[cc'ed back to r-help] I've started to take a look, and there's nothing immediately obvious about the problem with the fit (the warnings and errors are about a "non-positive-definite Hessian", which usually means an overfitted/poorly identified model) -- still working on whether there's a way to get more useful information. As it turns out, glmmADMB's default

I did manage to dv-tape this from the front row, and thus got pretty fair audio, but a slightly awkward camera angle. NYU Media Lab had a tripod set up at the back, and were apparently intending to webcast the results via real. They were a little taken aback when I mentioned Richard's aversion to propietary formats, and thanked me profusely for pointing it out, and saving them grief.

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
