similar to: changes in RSiteSearch() and http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/search.html

My search site, http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu, has had several problems recently, all my fault, for which I apologize. But it now seems to be running reliably, on a new computer that is much faster than the old one. It uses htdig to permit search of the Rhelp mailing list, R documents, R functions, and various combinations of these. Search has several options, including Boolean search (with AND,

I've made a few changes in the indices in my R search site. http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu is the general URL, and RSiteSearch takes you to http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/search.html, which is equivalent to http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/nmz.html. The main change is that I have eliminated "Previous message" and "Next message" from each page. (I still have "Next in

First, my site will be down December 27-28 because of a network upgrade at Penn. It will also be down at least one day before that, while I upgrade the operating system. (And another day some time in January because of a planned power outage.) Second, I have replaced the search engine in my R site: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/ I am now using Namazu instead of HtDig. The direct link to the

Unfortunately, I am unable to get this search site working again. (The message below explains why I had to rebuild it.) The computer worked for the better part of a day downloading and installing all the help files from all CRAN packages. Somehow it failed to get the vignettes this time. But I pushed ahead and ran the part of namazu that makes the search indices: mknmz. And you can see the

[If I knew who to report this to privately, I would. Sorry to embarrass anyone who's just trying to contribute to the R-project.] There seems to be some oddities with the RSiteSearch web page. When I enter 'RSiteSearch("console")' I'm taken to http://search.r-project.org/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query=console&max=20&resu

OK. It is sort of fixed and sort of works. We'll keep it for now, but this is not going to work forever. When namazu fails completely I will not have the time to install a new search engine. One option is to use google. For a site like this, I think they will want some money, but I'm not sure, and I do not have the time to deal with it. We have over 10,000 packages now. I wonder if

I looked at rdocumentation.org. At first I thought it was a superior replacement for namazu, but after I tried a few things I decided that it wasn't. I could not find any documentation about how to search, and the various things I tried seemed to yield very strange responses, e.g., a search for "Hayes mediation bootstrap" gave me mostly functions that had nothing to do with the

Hi, Jonathan: Thanks for letting us know. I can't imagine that the unavailability of RSiteSearch would be more than an inconvenience. When you get time, I'd like to know more about what you know about how it was hacked, the host operating system, any anti-virus / Internet protection software that failed and anything you think might reduce the risk of a repeat in the

I tried to search for a string of words ``as one entity'' following the example in the help file: > RSiteSearch("{logistic regression}") and got the error message: 2008-09-11 08:55:41.356 open[823] No such file: /Users/rturner/http:/ search.r-project.org/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query={logistic+regression}

Spencer, Thanks for the quick reply. I am open to someone who knows Perl getting an account on my site and trying to get it working. It will probably involve fixing more than one thing, as mknmz depends on some perl modules that also generate errors. My main contribution is figuring out how to extract the html help files and vignettes only, with some help from R developers and Fedora

Don't do anything yet. I may have found the problem by accident. I tried to use the computer from something else, and it was being drastically slowed down by some leftover processes, which turned out to be xlhtml. That is something that converts Excel files. Apparently, some excel files got into the libraries, and they were causing the indexing to hang completely. I am now running everything

Inspired by the functions that Barry Rawlingson and Dave Forrest posted for searching Rwiki and R-help archive, I've made up a function that does the search on Prof. Baron's site (Thanks to Prof. Baron's help on setting up the query string!): RSiteSearch <- function(string, restrict="Rhelp", format="long", sortby="score",

For my R page at http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/ (also the target of RSiteSearch()), I'm trying to find a way to get the html versions of the help pages without actually installing packages. This will allow me to include packages that don't install. And it will also vastly speed up the monthly update, and make it easier to replicate everything in case of disaster. I have made a modified

Hello, All: Jonathan Baron is "giving up" maintaining the RSiteSearch database. This breaks three things: (1) The R Site Search web service that Baron has maintained. (2) The RSiteSearch function in the utils package. (3) The sos package, for which I'm the maintainer and lead author. Might someone else be willing to take these over? For me,

For maintaining my R search page at http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu (also used for RSiteSearch(), I have been extracting only the html help pages and the vignettes from most packages. (Many will not compile on Linux. And, more generally, this saves wear and tear on the computer and me.) I wrote a version of the old INSTALL script that does this. I removed various parts of it, not fully

How can I get prediction intervals from a mixed-effects model? Consider the following example: library(nlme) fm3 <- lme(distance ~ age*Sex, data = Orthodont, random = ~ 1) df3.1 <- with(Orthodont, data.frame(age=seq(5, 20, 5), Subject=rep(Subject[1], 4), Sex=rep(Sex[1], 4))) predict(fm3, df3.1, interval='prediction') # M01 M01

Dear All, I have the following function tstpar <- function(n = 200, want.pdf = FALSE, pdfFileName = NULL){ oldpar <- par(no.readonly = TRUE) on.exit(par(oldpar)) steps <- seq(from = 1, to = 8, by = 1) h <- 10; w <- 6 if(want.pdf){pdf(file = pdfFileName, onefile = TRUE, paper = "letter", width = w, height = h)} par(mfrow = c(4,2)) for(i
