similar to: strange warning message

Hi all, I created environment "mytoolbox" by : mytoolbox <- new.env(parent=baseenv()) Is there anyway I put it in the search path ? If you need some background : In a project, I often write some small functions, and load them into my workspace directly, so when I list the objects with ls(), it looks pretty messy. So I am wondering if it is possible to creat an

Hi, this relates to the question "How to set a former environment?" asked yesterday. What is the best way to to return a function with a minimal environment from a function? Here is a dummy example: foo <- function(huge) { scale <- mean(huge) function(x) { scale * x } } fcn <- foo(1:10e5) The problem with this approach is that the environment of 'fcn' does not

I've just committed some changes to R-devel which affect environments. Specifically: - using NULL as an environment is now deprecated: use baseenv() instead. (baseenv() is already available in R 2.2.0, where it returns NULL. For most purposes it retains the same meaning in R-devel.) If you do use NULL, it will be converted to baseenv(), and a warning printed. For example: > f

I wish I had started with "I am disappointed that lm() doesn't continue its search for weights into the calling environment" or "the fact that lm() looks only in the formula environment and data frame for weights doesn't seem consistent with how other values are treated." But I did not. So I do apologize for both that and for negative tone on my part. Simplified

Hi, I'm not sure if this is an R problem, a Debian problem, a GNU Emacs problem or an ESS problem. I get the following warning the first time I call help on a command in a session, for example: > ?sessionInfo Warning message: use of NULL environment is deprecated This only occurs in GNU Emacs, not when running R from bash, and not with Xemacs. It started happening when I updated R

Thank you for your suggestion. I do know how to work around the issue. I usually build a fresh environment as a child of base-environment and then insurt the weights there. I was just trying to provide an example of the issue. emptyenv() can not be used, as it is needed for the eval (errors out even if weights are not used with "could not find function list"). For some applications

I understand why the following happens ($.proto delegates to get, which ascends the parent hierarchy up to globalenv()), but I still find it anti-intuitive: > z <- 1 > y <- proto(a=2) > y$z [1] 1 Although this is well-documented behavior; wouldn't it uphold the principle of least surprise to inherit instead from baseenv() or emptyenv()? (See attached patch.) Spurious

Hi, While installing precompiled packages I often get warnings like the one in the subject. I usually ignore them, but I still do not understand why windows packages are build with unreleased versions of R. Is there some way to get packages build under R-2.2.0? What are potential problems that can result from that version mismatch? My system: winXP R version: 2.2.0 Jarek Tuszynski

Hello, JIT compiler interferes with internal R completions: compiler::enableJIT(2) utils:::functionArgs("density", '') gives: utils:::functionArgs("density", '') Note: no visible global function definition for 'bw.nrd0' Note: no visible global function definition for 'bw.nrd' Note: no visible global function definition for 'bw.ucv'

Hi, I am writing a function and need to pass a function expression as an argument, for instance, myfun <- function( express) { x<- c(1,2,3) y<-express } if I call the above function by myfun( x*2 ), I get 2 as the result, instead of 2,4,6 , could someone help me to fix this problem ? Furthermore, is that

Dear R-users, Is there a way I can prevent global variables to be visible within my functions? Sebastien

Hi, I am trying to output a R data set for use in WinBugs, I used dput(list(x=rnorm(100),N=100),file="bug.dat") But I can't get the intended format: list(x=c(.......),N=100), instead, I got something like this (copied the first two lines): [00000000]???73?74?72?75??63?74?75?72??65?28?6C?69??73?74?28?78???? structure(list(x

Did some search but couldn't find useful result. I am trying to read a n*m dimension data with read.table, what i need is a numeric array, is there any efficient way to allow me get this array directly instead of a list? I tried to use as.array() to change the mode, but seems it doesn't work and i got this error message: "Error in "dimnames<-.data.frame"(`*tmp*`,

Hello, I apologise in advance for this question; I'm sure it is answered in the documentation or this mailing list many times, however the answer has eluded me. I'm trying to write a function where I don't want external variables to be scoped in from the parent environment. Given this function: test_func = function() { if (exists("kat") == FALSE) {

eapply() works on most environments, but not on baseenv(). For example, > x <- 1 > eapply(globalenv(), function(x) x) $x [1] 1 > eapply(baseenv(), function(x) x) list() I'm probably not going to have time to work on this before 2.3.0, but I don't think it's really urgent; if no one else fixes it first I'll do it after the release.

Hi, I would like to assign a value to a member b of the list a in position 3, by calling: assign( target, 2.34, 3) My question is what the "target" should be. I tried target <- paste("a", $, "b") and something else, but haven't got the right answer yet. BTW, if I attached a list named

Hi, I just got a quick question here, when I install a new version of R , is there an easy to keep the installed R packages ? Thanks a lot for any help. tong

Hello All, By default, a reference of a variable in a function cause R to look for the variable in the parent environment if it is not available in the current environment (without generating any errors or warnings). I'm wondering if there is a way to revert this behaviors, such that it will not look for the parent environment and will generate an error if the variable is not available in the
