Hi All, When I tried to catch a returned value from a R graphical function or command (e.g., plot, lines, points, abline, title, xyplot, etc.), I always get a NULL value if it is executed correctly. For example: x <- c(1,2,3,4,5,9,13,19,36) plot.Comm <- plot(x) # plot.Comm <- try(eval(plot(x))) then plot.Comm has a NULL value. Obviously, this is not a good way to check if or

Hi, is there a way to retrieve the line number of where en error occurred when sourcing a file in a tryCatch statement? Is it stored somewhere accessible? It is not found in the error object. Consider the following code/output and note the difference in the traceback between source (has line number) and sys.source (has no line number). Thank you, Renaud ######## # code ######## codefile <-

Hi all, I'm trying to use the package read.table within a foreach loop. I'm grabbing 500M rows of data at a time from two different files and then doing an aggregate/tapply like function in read.table after that. I had planned on doing a foreach loop 39 times at once for the 39 files I have, but obviously that won't work until I figure out why the segfault is occurring. The

I'm using caret to assess classifier performance (and it's great!). However, I've found that my results differ between R2.* and R3.* - reported accuracies are reduced dramatically. I suspect that a code change to kernlab ksvm may be responsible (see version 5.16-24 here: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/caret/news.html). I get very different results between caret_5.15-61 +

Hi Martin, It is really a 'PATH' problem. After adding C:\Program Files\Graphviz2.20\bin to the 'PATH' environment variable, the Rgraphviz package can be loaded without any error messages. Sorry that I ONLY set my 'PATH' environment variable correctly for R but not for Graphviz. Thank you and Duncan so much for your great help. Howard On Tue Mar 30 18:12:54

Hi All, I tried to install the package of Rgraphviz in the following two ways successfully: source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") biocLite("Rgraphviz") install.packages(pkgs="C:/Progra~1/R/lib_download/Rgraphviz_1.24.0.zip", lib="C:/Progra~1/R/R-2.10.1/library", repos=NULL) but when I loaded the package though library(Rgraphviz) or

I've run into a scoping problem in R. I'm calling a function that * creates a formula * calculates a weight vector * calls lm with that formula and weights This fails. Here's a simplified reproduce example: # f works, g doesn't, h is a workaround rm(w) data <- data.frame(y=runif(20), x=runif(20), z=runif(20)) f <- function(k){ w <- data$z^k coef(lm(y~x, data

I got the following after running succesfully through this loop 28 million times... the loop opens text files in a directory and inserts line by line into a database... *** caught segfault *** address 0xc0000010, cause 'memory not mapped' Traceback: 1: .getGeneric(f, where, package) 2: getGeneric("coerce", where = where) 3: as(obj, "integer") 4:

My points: - The 'withCallingHandlers' construct that is used in current 'stopifnot' code has no effect. Without it, the warning message is the same. The overridden warning is not raised. The original warning stays. - Overriding call in error and warning to 'cl.i' doesn't always give better outcome. The original call may be "narrower" than 'cl.i'. I

Hi Jim, What you told me works well. I have tried using 'eval(parse(text="1:20 = x"))' as well as 'try(parse(text="1:20 = x"))' before but not using eval anfd try functions together. I just added try function following your suggestion, e.g. 'try(eval(parse(text="1:20 = x")))'and then it worked well. Thank you very much for the nice

I would like to be able, inside a function, to create a new function, and use it as part of a formula as an argument to, say, gnls or nlme. for example: MyTop <- function(data=dta) { Cexp <- function(dose,A,B,m){...} Model <- as.formula(paste("y","~ Cexp(",paste(formals(Cexp),collapse =", "),")")) MyCall <-

The survexp function can fail when called from another function. The "why" of this has me baffled, however. Here is a simple test case, using a very stripped down version of survexp: survexp.test <- function(formula, data, weights, subset, na.action, rmap, times, cohort=TRUE, conditional=FALSE, ratetable=survexp.us, scale=1, npoints, se.fit,

Martin, thanks for the good news and sorry for wasting your (and others time) by not doing my homework and query bugzilla first (lesson learned! ). I have tested the new implementation from R-devel and observe a semantic difference when playing with the parameters: # Test script 1 g <- "global" f <- function(p) { l <- "local" dump.frames() }

The help page of eval says: The 'evalq' form is equivalent to 'eval(quote(expr), ...)'. But the following is not equivalent. Can anyone give me some explaination? Thanks very much. > f1 <- function(x,digits=5) lapply(x, f2) > f2 <- function(x) eval(quote(print(x+1,digits=digits)),list(x=x),parent.frame(2)) > f1(list(x1=1)) [1] 2 $x1 [1] 2 > > f1 <-

Dear all, I have the following (rather) strange problem.. For some reasons, I finally work with a variable whose name includes an R function, "a.log(z)", say. And that is a problem when I call it in a formula, for instance: > myname<-"a.log(z)" > dd<-data.frame("a.log(z)"=1:10,y=rnorm(10)) > o<-lm(y~1,data=dd) >

I encounter such problem with lmer under FreeBSD, but not under Windows. Anyone knows why?

Hi all, I know I shouldn't really expect the following to work, but it provokes a crash of the GUI on my computer (Win xp professional). --- >sessionInfo() Version 2.3.1 (2006-06-01) i386-pc-mingw32 attached base packages: [1] "methods" "stats" "graphics" "grDevices" "utils" "datasets" [7] "base"

Dear R friends, to allow post-mortem debugging In my Rscript based batch jobs I use tryCatch( <R expression>, error = function(e) { dump.frames(to.file = TRUE) }) to write the called frames into a dump file. This is similar to the method recommended in the "Writing R extensions" manual in section 4.2 Debugging R code (page 96):

Hi All, I'm running into a problem with GAM (in the MGCV package).
