I have this problem with R 2.6.1 and 2.7.1 (have not tried others) running on Windows XP: Html help has wrong links to help files. The index.html is correctly found from file:///C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-26~1.1/doc/html/index.html as well as the search engine file:///C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-26~1.1/doc/html/search/SearchEngine.html However, when I search for, say, "paste", I will be pointed to

Hello, I have the TCl/Tk command "tkmessageBox(titel="",message="x",icon="question",type="okcancel")" in my R script. Now I want to perform some operation in relation to the user's choice, something like "if (okpressed) xxx else yyy" What values does this command give and how are they used? Thank you, Richard -- Richard M?ller -

Is there a way to force certain formula parameters to be nonnegative? What I want to do is to estimate student capacity over time, namely by > capacity ~ Student + Student:Day I add this formula to a glm call and obtain negative learning slope estimates (Student:Day) in some cases. However, I don't want to allow for that. In such a case, glm should solve > capacity ~ Student and

A new version of the 'snow' package for parallel computing in R is available at http://www.stat.uiowa.edu/~luke/R/cluster/snow_0.3-3.tar.gz This substantially revises the way in which worker processes are started to allow snow to be used on Windows and Mac/Windows/Linux combinations. I have successfully used the SOCK version on a standalone Windows machine and combinations of

Guys, I'm running R on both Windows & Linux. I'm looking at a number of packages for parallel execution. It seems that the most used packages are "snow" and "Rmpi". snow seems more user friendly, but it doesn't run on windows. I see from searching the mailing list that I'm not the first one to try it on Windows. There was a message that kind of shed some

Dear R Users, I have a relatively simple rmpi question. My configation is: - R version 2.7.2 - rmpi 0.5-6 - Deino MPI 1.1.0 - Windows XP SP2 After succesfully spawning slaves, I am trying to assign values to variables in the environment of each slave and run some simple calcs. This appears to fail, as below: my assignment of value "1" to variable "a" appears to come back

Hello, the package snow is not working on a windows cluster with MPICH2 and Rmpi. There is an error in makeCluster: launch failed: CreateProcess(/usr/bin/env "RPROG="C:\Programme\R\R-2.5.1\bin\R" "OUT=/dev/null" "R_LIBS=" C:/Programme/R/R-2.5.1/library/snow/RMPInode.sh) on 'cl1' failed, error 3 - Das System kann den angegbenen Pfad nicht finden.

Dear R People: I'm having some trouble with mpiexec and Rmpi. I would like to be able to pass in the number of "children" via the mpiexec command (from the command line). this is in SUSE10.1, with R-2.7.1 Here are my files: cat eb.R library(Rmpi) mpi.remote.exec(paste("i am",mpi.comm.rank(),"of",mpi.comm.size())) mpi.quit() hodgesse at

Hello R users and developers, I would like to install Rmpi so that I may take advantage of all of the CPUs in my computer, but I cannot get it to install and I am not very good with linux so it is adding to the headache. I have looked through the help archive, but I have not been successful at getting Rmpi to work. I am not sure if I am even installing openMPI correctly in linux. I would really

Dear R Users, I am attempting to use snow with rmpi. My configuration is: - R Version 2.7.2, rmpi - RMPI 0.5-6 - DeinoMPI 1.1.0 - Windows Xp SP2 I can sucessfully create a cluster and execute simple commands but for some reason, I cannot change the working directory in my nodes. > noclusters<-2 > cl <- makeCluster(noclusters, type = "MPI") 2 slaves are spawned

Hi All, I'm trying to parallelize some code using Rmpi and I've started with a sample 'hello world' program that's available at http://math.acadiau.ca/ACMMaC/Rmpi/sample.html. The code is as follows; # Load the R MPI package if it is not already loaded. if (!is.loaded("mpi_initialize")) { library("Rmpi") } # Spawn as many slaves as possible

Dear R Users, I have set-up: - R 2.7.2 - rmpi using deinoMPI, and - snpw on two Windows XP machines. I would like to use the makeCluster(...,"MPI") command to create a cluster. Assume the machines are A and B. I would like the master to be on A and the nodes to be on B. How do I achieve this outcome ? I can see both machines using the DeinoMPI GUI. Thanks in advance, Tolga

Hello, I try to write parts of my code in C to accelerate the for-loops. But basic operations I want to do in R (e.g. start cluster). My R code looks something like this: library(Rmpi) mpi.spawn.Rslaves() mpi.remote.exec(....) dyn.load("test.so") erg <- .Call("test", ....) .... mpi.close.Rslaves() mpi.quit() And my C function looks something like this: #include

Hi everybody! I have the next code which makes a reduction of the *a *variable in two slaves, using the Rmpi package. library(Rmpi) mpi.spawn.Rslaves(nslaves=2) reduc<-function(){ a<-mpi.comm.rank()+2 mpi.reduce(a,type=2, op="prod") return(paste("a=",a)) } mpi.bcast.Robj2slave(reduc) mpi.remote.exec(reduc()) cat("Product: ")

Dear all, I would like to know if there is a function for sorting a data.frame based on one column. sort() does it for a single vector but not for the whole data. order() does it if there are relations between the columns but in my case it is simply a data.frame. Further, I would like to plot other data, pop.size<- c(800, 800, 1500, 1000, 158, 300, 740, 250, 2000, 1500, 250, 700)

Dear all, I'm using zeroinfl() from the pscl-package for zero inflated Poisson regression. I would like to calculate (aproximate) prediction intervals for the fitted values. The package itself does not provide them. Can this be calculated analyticaly? Or do I have to use bootstrap? What I tried until now is to use bootstrap to estimate these intervals. Any comments on the code are welcome.

Hi I am trying to utilize my dual core processor (and later a High-performance clusters (HPC) ) by using the Rmpi, snow, snowfall, ... packages, but I am struggling at the beginning, i.e. to initialise the "cluster" on my dual core computer. Whenever I try to initialize it (via sfInit(parallel=TRUE, cpus=2) or mpi.spawn.Rslaves(nslaves=2) ), I get an error message: >

Hi, I'm testing the efficiency of the Rmpi package regarding parallelization using a cluster. I've found and tried the task pull programming method, but even if it is described as the best method, it seems to cause deadlock, anyone could help me in using this method? here is the code I've found and tried: # Initialize MPI library("Rmpi") # Notice we just say "give us
