Source versions would only have been available with a nondisclosure agreement, and relatively few copies would have been distributed in source. There was a small but valuable "beta test" network, mainly university

Hello there fellow R-users, I have received some data which comes in the following format: example1<-"200301" The first 4 digits correspond to the year and the remaining 2 digits correspond to the week of the year. I have tried to convert this to a date by using strptime as follows: strptime(example1,format="%Y%U") where U (looking up strptime) is the week of the

I don't think anyone denies that you *could* make an EXE to do all that. The discussion is on *how easy* it should be to create a single file that contains an initial "main" function plus a set of bundled code (potentially as a package) and which when run will install its package code (which is contained in itself, its not in a repo), install dependencies, and run the main()

A colleague is receiving some data from another person. That person reads the data in SAS and it takes 30s and uses 64k RAM. That person then tries to read the data in R and it takes 10 minutes and uses a gigabyte of RAM. Person then goes on to say: It's not that I think SAS is such great software, it's not. But I really hate badly designed software. R is designed by

If you index a vector with a vector that has NA in it, you get NA back: > x=101:107 > x[c(NA,4,NA)] [1] NA 104 NA > x[c(4,NA)] [1] 104 NA All well and good. ?"[" says, under NAs in indexing: When extracting, a numerical, logical or character ?NA? index picks an unknown element and so returns ?NA? in the corresponding element of a logical, integer,

I see some value in Duncan?s proposal to implement this as an extra package instead of a change to base R, if only to see if the idea has legs. I?m minded to do so myself using your suggestion, but is there a particular reason why you recommend using the remotes package instead of devtools? The latter seems to have the same functions I would need, and I believe it is more widely installed that

A little while ago here we had a short discussion about Task Views - I think ignited by someone saying 'how many times do I have to say "have you read the Optimisation Task View?"?' and I poured some fuel on that fire by saying "Task Views" was a stupid name. Anyway, I did say that Task Views were rather brilliant, but were let down by their hidden position on the R

I'm often wanting to develop functions whilst manipulating data. But I don't want to end up with a .RData full of functions and data. It might be that I have functions that are re-usable but not worth sticking in a package. So I've tried to come up with a paradigm for function development that more closely follows the way Matlab and Python do it (partly inspired by a confused Matlab

In response to an earlier discussion about finding the fastest/best/nearest CRAN site, I geocoded (using my geonames package) the locations of the CRAN sites returned by getCRANmirrors. I've mapped them here: http://www.maths.lancs.ac.uk/~rowlings/R/Cranography/ The geocoding may have got it wrong, so if CRAN site maintainers want to send me a real lat-long (in WGS 84 aka EPSG:4326) I'll

Hi folks, OS - Ubuntu 10.04 On R I create a datafile named "data". I can evoke it on R with; > data On R Commander Data -> Active data set -> Select active data set -> (data) OK only one data set there "data" -> View data set I can read it -> Edit data set showing 25 rows of data. Clicking the box shows a thick border around it. But I couldn't

How do people go about synchronizing multiple workspaces on different workstations? I tend to wind up with projects spread around the various machines I work on. I find that placing the directories on a server and reading them remotely tends to slow things down. thanks, Eric -- Eric Turkheimer, PhD Department of Psychology University of Virginia PO Box 400400 Charlottesville, VA 22904-4400

dear users, we have got the following question: we have got a text-file looking like this: ... <trkpt lat="48.272000" lon="16.342984"> <ele>387</ele> <time>2012-01-01T15:32:03Z</time> <sat>9</sat> </trkpt> <trkpt lat="48.271909" lon="16.343563"> <ele>381</ele>

Is there any interest in a method of taking a package with documentation in Rd files and attaching it to package R files in Roxygen format? I can see a few problems with a totally general solution but it might be possible to make a script that provides a kickstart to converting a package to Roxygen. Or is it trickier than it seems?

After accusing someone of typing 'install.packages("weather")' instead of 'install.packages("webmaps")', I discovered that R-forge really is currently returning the wrong source tarball for packages after 'Repitools' in the alphabet. The data returned from available.package in install.packages goes out of sync at 'Repitools': RemoteREngine

Hi all, I have seen that R can be switched on to a Broker called IB. There is another one similar to IB that permits to make a "code" and send orders to broker to buy or sell stocks? Can be done trough R, writte in excel and trough API sell/buy to the broker? Can someone send me an example (easy example?) Many thanks. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
