A coworker got tired of having to type 'yes' or 'no' after quitting R: he never wanted to save the R workspace when quitting. So he added assignInNamespace lines to his .Rprofile file to replace base::q with one that, by default, called the original with save="no".. utils::assignInNamespace(".qOrig", base::q, "base")

I am trying to get a function written in R that calls a cascade of functions from the graphics package, and I want to eventually call replacements to functions in the graphics package instead of the originals. Specifically, I have a function that calls qqnorm in stats, which calls qqnorm.default in stats, which calls plot in graphics, which calls plot.default and plot.new, and I want my own

In my .Rprofile for Windows, I had the following functions defined to mirror a few features I miss from linux: (a) replace setwd() with a version that stashes the current directory so it can be easily restored (b) writes a short version of the current R directory to the Windows title bar: I can always see where I am, with multiple Rgui windows. (c) creates a cd() shorthand for setwd(), but

Hello, assignInNamespace refuses to assign an object to a name that is not already used in the namespace. Something like this would make it possible: --- src/library/utils/R/objects.R (revision 56024) +++ src/library/utils/R/objects.R (working copy) @@ -252,8 +252,9 @@ stop("environment specified is not a package") ns <- asNamespace(substring(nm, 9L))

[Env: Win XP, R 2.14.2, R 2.15.0] I have a replacement function for setwd() in my .Rprofile which displays the current R path in the R window title. It no longer works in R 2.15.x, giving the error below. Worse, the error prevents the rest of my .Rprofile script from completing. Is there some way to rescue this, i.e., preserve this behavior in R 2.15? If not, how can I modify my script so it

I see this argument often, and don't buy it. In any case, for this particular option, the

Hello - I'm currently maintaining an R package that uses a name space, and am also starting a new R package that will use a name space. According the the R News June 2003 issue, "Adding a name space to a package may complicate debugging code ... it is a good idea not to add a name space to a package until it is completely debugged, and to remove the name space if further debugging

for the moment, I'm using: .onAttach <- function(libname, pkgname) { .bbg.db.conn <<- dbConnect(dbDriver("PostgreSQL"), user="blah","blah") } .onUnload <- function(libpath) { dbDisconnect(.bbg.db.conn) } which results in a hidden global variable in the global environment. I would prefer to make the assignment only in the package namespace.

I started my laptop, opened a shell and get this error message: R : Copyright 2005, The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Version 2.2.1 (2005-12-20 r36812) ISBN 3-900051-07-0 lines deleted Error in fun(...) : couldn't find function "assignInNamespace" Error: .onLoad failed in 'loadNamespace' for 'Matrix' Fatal error: unable to restore saved data in .RData

In my .Rprofile I have the following functions which display the current directory in the main R window title bar, and modify base::setwd() to keep this up to date. I like this because I can always tell where I am in the file system. cd <- function(dir) { base::setwd(dir) utils::setWindowTitle( short.path(base::getwd()) ) } short.path <- function(dir, len=2) { np

Question: I am trying to impliment a function in R that we use quite regularly in Splus, and it fails due to a lack of the "terms.inner" function in R. The substitute is? Part question and part soapbox: Why remove terms.inner from R? It's little used, but rather innocuous. Mostly soapbox: I figured it was no big deal, as I originally discovered the use of terms.inner from

I'd like to get interaction terms in a model to be in another form. Namely, suppose I had variables age and group, the latter a factor with levels A, B, C, with age * group in the model. What I would like are the variables "age:group=A", "age:group=B" and "age:group=C" (and group itself of course). The coefficients of the model will then be the age effect

I've created some Splus code for a microarray problem that - needed to be in C, to take advantage of some sparse matrix properties - uses a cholesky decompostion as part of the computation For the cholesky, I used the cholesky2 routine, which is a part of the survival library. It does just what I want and I'm familiar with it (after all, I wrote it). In Splus, this all works

Dear R People: Could someone direct me to some documentation on the difference between S3 and S4 classes, please? For example, why would a person use one as opposed to another? Maybe pros and cons of each? Thanks in advance! R Version 2.2.0 (I'm downloading the new one this afternoon!) Windows. Happy New Year!

Hello, I'm trying to use coxph() function to fit a very simple Cox proportional hazards regression model (only one covariate) but the parameter space is restricted to an open set (0, 1). Can I still obtain a valid estimate by using coxph function in this scenario? If yes, how? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!! [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
