Hi I came across this strange bug the other day, I'm not sure how to solve it and I wonder if anyone can even replicate it. Using OS Ubuntu 7.10 Step 1) Make an R package using the package.skeleton() command with only these two functions: error <- function(){ cmd <- paste(" -a ",1," -a ",1," -a ",1, " -a ",1," -a

Dear all, I already posted a question regarding this to an existing thread: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e2/devel/06/10/0852.html#start I apologize for the double posting but I have some further information that might be illuminating. I am trying to cross-compile my R-package under ubuntu linux, kernel 2.6.17-10-generic, on an IBM T60. I am following the suggested steps in

Hello, I have difficulties combining boxes and lines in plot legend. I searched previous R-posts and found this (with no solution): http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/06/07/30248.html. Is there a way to avoid boxes behind the line legends? x1 <- rnorm(100) x2 <- rnorm(100, 2) hist(x1, main = "", col = "orange",ylab = "density", xlab = "x", freq =

<posted & mailed> Dear all, I'm trying to solve the problem, of how to find clusters of values in a vector that are closer than a given value. Illustrated this might look as follows: vector <- c(0,0.45,1,2,3,3.25,3.33,3.75,4.1,5,6,6.45,7,7.1,8) When using '0.5' as the proximity requirement, the following groups would result: 0,0.45 3,3.25,3.33,3.75,4.1 6,6.45 7,7.1

Hi, First, let me thank Jaroslaw for making this survey. I find it quite illuminating. Now the questions: * the #1 solution below (based on cumsum) is numerically unstable. Specifically if you do the runmean on a positive vector you can easily get negative numbers due to rounding errors. Does anyone see a modification which is free of this deficiency? * is it possible to optimize the

Anyone know what's up w/ tolstoi.newcast.edu.au (home of the threaded R-help archives)? I've got a "can't connect" for several days now. Carl

Dear R help, In the middle of my session, I started receiving the error message "bad value" regardless of what I entered. I had to close R and restart it. When the error occurred, I was creating basic lattice plots, with no other add-on packages running. I am running R through John Fox's XEmacs interface, XEmacs version 21.4.20 on a Windows XP Pro machine with 2 GB of RAM. I have

To me it seems like writeBin() writes one char/byte more than expected. > con <- file("testbin", "wb") > writeBin("ttccggaa", con) > close(con) > con <- file("testbin", "rb") > readBin(con, what="character") [1] "ttccggaa" > seek(con, what=NA) [1] 9 > close(con) > con <-

I am attempting to import dates in the following format to R: 5/20/2010 6:45:32 PM Unfortunately I am unable to get the AM/PM function (%p) to work correctly under either 2.11.0 or 2.8.1. > strptime("5/20/2010 6:45:32 PM", "%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p") [1] NA but > strptime("5/20/2010 6:45:32", "%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S") [1] "2010-05-20 06:45:32"

Dear All I'm logging the stdout and stderr of an R program into two separate files (stderr.txt and stdout.txt) using sink() I would like to append extra information such as "date", "memory usage" etc to every line of output that goes to stdout or stderr. For example > cat("hello \n") should give output that looks something like: "hello --- Thu Jun 19

Hi, Using tab spaces in mtext e.g. > mtext("\t") little squares are plotted. Is there a way to use "\t" without getting squares displayed? Thanks Thomas [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Folks, I'm having trouble with how datetime objects with time zones are set and plotted. This may be the result of my running R (2.4.0) on a Windoze XP box. Perhaps not. Here are two example problems I need advise on if you have time: 1) I collect data with dates (often as a fractional day of year) in UTC. Using strptime to create date time objects appears to force the data into

Hi, There is an object, ".Last.value" to which the result of the most recent evaluation is assigned. This is similar to "ans" in Matlab. In Matlab "ans" can be very useful and time-saving, but typing the larger R version is somewhat clunky and takes away from the usefulness. Is it possible to reassign '.Last.value' to something simpler, like

Just out of curiosity, what is the difference between the terms for package and library ? Why are we loading a package with the library() command ? If this is a case of RTFM, I would be happy to do so if pointed in the right direction. I have searched the FAQ and mail archives and only came up with http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/05/02/12162.html but this still does not explain what is

Hi list,I apologize if you see funny fonts, b/c I'm using the new Windows Live Hotmail and don't know how to turn off the "rich text" mode.....I have successfully built and installed a R package in windowsXP for R-2.5.1. But when I tried to create a .zip file so I can use "Packages/install package(s) from local .zip files..." to install it, it seems R only recognizes

Dear R users, I have multi-argument returns in a function and I am warned by the program they are deprecated. I have found this in the R-help archives : http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/01c/0319.html http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/01c/0356.html Since I am not too good at programming, the list solution seems the better one for me. It is also the one advocated by Kevin Murphy. So

I am using the RODBC package to read data from an Excel file.
