Full_Name: Steven McKinney Version: 2.6.0 OS: OS X Submission from: (NULL) (142.103.207.10) Function ar() in package "stats" is showing a quirky bug. Some calls to ar() run to completion, others throw an error. The bug is reproducible by several people on different machines, however, the ar() function itself ends up throwing the error sporadically. Several calls to ar() may be

Dears Sirs During my computational work I encountered unexpected behaviour when calling "ar" function. I want to select the order p of the autoregressive approximation by AIC criterion and sometimes an error occurs. Example: # time series

Hi all, What are current methods people use in R to identify mis-spelled column names when selecting columns from a data frame? Alice Johnson recently tackled this issue (see [BioC] posting below). Due to a mis-spelled column name ("FileName" instead of "Filename") which produced no warning, Alice spent a fair amount of time tracking down this bug. With my fumbling fingers

Hi useRs, A recent coding infelicity along these lines yielded a corrupt data frame. foo <- matrix(1:12, nrow = 3) bar <- data.frame(foo) bar$NewCol <- foo[foo[, 1] == 4, 4] bar lapply(bar, length) > foo <- matrix(1:12, nrow = 3) > bar <- data.frame(foo) > bar$NewCol <- foo[foo[, 1] == 4, 4] > bar X1 X2 X3 X4 NewCol 1 1 4 7 10 <NA> 2 2 5 8 11

Hi all, I have been having problems generating png files on a Mac running OS X 10.6.8. Here's a simple example > png("foo.png", type = "cairo"); plot(1:10); dev.off(); null device 1 libpng warning: Application built with libpng-1.2.26 but running with 1.5.2 The resultant file is of size 0 Kb. Is this the proper place to report this issue? Or should

Hi, ?rawToChar 'rawToChar' converts raw bytes either to a single character string or a character vector of single bytes. (Note that a single character string could contain embedded nuls.) Allowing embedded nuls in a string might be an interesting experiment but it seems to cause some troubles to most of the string manipulation functions. A string with an embedded 0:

Full_Name: Steven McKinney Version: 2.9.0 OS: Mac OS X 10.5.6 Submission from: (NULL) (142.103.207.10) A corrupt data frame can be constructed as follows: foo <- matrix(1:12, nrow = 3) bar <- data.frame(foo) bar$NewCol <- foo[foo[, 1] == 4, 4] bar lapply(bar, length) > foo <- matrix(1:12, nrow = 3) > bar <- data.frame(foo) > bar$NewCol <- foo[foo[, 1] == 4, 4]

Hi all, I believe this is a bug in the model.matrix function. I'd like a second opinion before filing a bug report. If I have a nested covariate B with multiple values for just one level of A, I can not get a non-singular design matrix out of model.matrix > df <- data.frame(A = factor(c("a", "a", "x", "x"), levels = c("x",

Is anyone aware of a fast way of doing fisher's exact test for a series of 2 x 2 tables in R? The fisher.test is really slow if n1=1000 and n2 = 1000. -- Thanks, Jim. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

My setup: R 2.4.0, Windows 2000, Acrobat Reader 7. When I create a .pdf with translucent colors, the translucency works correctly for points, but not for text. Below is some R code that creates a .pdf with this phenomenon. I was going to report this as a bug in R, but then I tried to view the pdf with a couple of other viewers and found that at least one of the viewers correctly displayed the

Windows 2000, updated R and packages. could somebody pleaseeeeeeeee help with saving a data.frame with column names into "\t" text files for later importing in other programs? It seems an easy task, yet... it beats me. thanks, Mihai Nica Jackson State University [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi there, we are beginners in R and we are trying to fit the following time series using ar(2): > x <- c(1.89, 2.46, 3.23, 3.95, 4.56, 5.07, 5.62, 6.16, 6.26, 6.56, 6.98, > 7.36, 7.53, 7.84, 8.09) The reason of choosing the present time series is that the we have previously calculated analitically the autoregressive coefficients using the direct inversion method as 1.1, 0.765, 0.1173.

Dear R-helpers, I have a very simple question and I really hope that someone could help me I would like to estimate a simple fixed effect regression model with clustered standard errors by individuals. For those using Stata, the counterpart would be xtreg with the "fe" option, or areg with the "absorb" option and in both case the clustering is achieved with "vce(cluster

I am trying, without success, to compile a custom locale for the utf-8 character set. I have issued this command: localedef --no-archive -f UTF-8 -i /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_CA at yyyy-mmm-dd en_CA at yyyy-mmm-dd.utf8 which produces the requisite files without reporting an error but which none-the-less insists on using the iso-8859-1 charset: LC_ALL=en_CA at yyyy-mm-dd locale charmap

Hi, x <- c(rep(1800000003L, 10000000), -rep(1200000002L, 15000000)) This is correct: > sum(as.double(x)) [1] 0 This is not: > sum(x) [1] 4996000 Returning NA (with a warning) would also be acceptable for the latter. That would make it consistent with cumsum(x): > cumsum(x)[length(x)] [1] NA Warning message: Integer overflow in 'cumsum'; use

There is still issues with the reversed y-log scale plot: # Test case A: works as expected plot(10:100,log="y",ylim=c(100,11)) grid() par("yaxp") # Test case B: grid does not have horizontal lines; par("yaxp") is different plot(1:100,log="y",ylim=c(100,10)) grid() par("yaxp") In the second test case, axTicks for the horizontal lines (in

What am I missing? When I run the code below I get the error message "Error: ggplot2 doesn't know how to deal with data of class function" Googling suggests a message of "Error: ggplot2 doesn't know how to deal with data of class XXX" is not uncommon but I don't see why I am getting a "function" error unless I am using some reserved word?
