similar to: Adding an Sweave Vignette to a package

I have just submitted MiscPsycho to CRAN. MiscPsycho contains functions for miscellaneous psychometrics that may be useful for applied psychometricians. MML estimation already exists in the ltm package. Hence, a jml option is provided for users who prefer this method. The jml function gives back rasch difficulties and the same Infit and Outfit statistics as Winsteps. Also, jml is known to return

I am having trouble converting the output from Sweave into a valid PDF file. I have created a simple .Rnw file which will become a full vignette at some point, but during the intermediate testing, I got errors from texi2dvi. This is what I have done. 0) Using a Windows Xp system 1) Created a file called GeneSpring.Rnw 2) Convert this to Tex using Sweave("GeneSpring.Rnw") from within R

Hi, What package would you recommend for analyzing the validity/reliability of multiple choice tests. Doing things such as classical test analysis, factor analysis, item response theory. I've used psychometric (item.exam), MiscPsycho (alpha.Summary), and ltm (rcor.test). MiscPsycho reported the numbers most similar to what I get in SPSS: corrected point biserial correlations,

Dear List, I recently stumbled over the possibility and need to specifiy % \VignetteDepends{} in my vignettes. I did not know about this, and I notice that it is not mentioned in the R-extensions manual section "Writing package vignettes". I have some questions with regards to that: - would it be possible to include into the section "Writing package vignettes" some hint

Could someone please point me to where information about the two entries %\VignetteDepends{} and %\VignettePackage{} are documented? I'm getting an error with %\VignetteDepends{} with my package name in braces. Looking at the vignettes on my system, some include the package name and some don't. Should it be there? If so, why might I be getting an error doing so? $ R CMD check SuperCurve

I?m preparing a package (fastR) for submission to CRAN, but the vignette index keeps going AWOL, or at least R CMD check ?as-cran thinks so. I?ve tried several things and gave myself the weekend to think of other things, but I can?t figure it out. Perhaps someone on the list can lend a hand. Here?s one example situation, where I build the index.html file myself and put it in inst/doc/index.html

R CMD check gives an error when a vignette entry %\VignetteDepends{} has any extra space at the end. Maybe this is by design, but I found it confusing. Changing the function "vignetteMetaRE" in tools package could solve the problem. I.e. vignetteMetaRE <- function(tag) paste("[[:space:]]*%+[[:space:]]*\\\\Vignette", tag,"\\{([^}]*)\\}", sep = "")

In ?Sweave, it refers to Sweave User Manual. In the doc folder of utils package, I see "Sweave.pdf". However, I can't find it from within R > vignette("Sweave User Manual") Warning message: vignette ?Sweave User Manual? not found > browseVignettes("utils") No vignettes found by browseVignettes("utils") > library(help=utils) does not

I recently wrote a vignette, with the following at the top of the .Rnw file: %%\VignetteIndexEntry{How to use look up tables for h() functions} %%\VignetteDepends{sjedmin, spatstat} Using vExplorer() on this function, I got an error from this part of getVigInfo(): lines <- grep("^%[[:space:]]*\\\\Vignette", file) if (length(lines) == 0) stop("File ", vig,

By the end of the day I will have a vignette completed for MiscPsycho. This vignette lays out the mathematical details for the primary functions in the package and provides substantive examples on how to use these functions in a sample session. This vignette will ultimately end up being distributed with the package itself. However, I plan to build new versions slowly. So, if you would like a copy

Hi, I have a package for which I'm writing a vignette. The vignette looks fine as indicated by R CMD check. However after installing the package (in my personal R library location) doing vignette('rcdk') says Warning message: vignette 'rcdk' *not* found But I can see the PDF file located under rcdk/doc in the R library directory. The header of the Rnw file is %

Hi R-devel, [Question]: * Is there a KEYWORDS file to lookup 'keywords' to supply the vignette command, '\VignetteKeywords{}'? -or, is the pkg writer free to tag the vignette using any keywords he/she chooses? i.e., free-tagging.

I've been building, checking, and installing a package all day today with no errors. I have even been able to bring the package into R on my machine and use it all day doing test runs. However, now, when I run Rcmd check, I get errors. Keep in mind not one thing has changed. I haven't touched any of the functions or .Rd files, yet I get the error below at this point and the package cannot

Version 1.1 of the MiscPsycho package had been uploaded to CRAN. The package has been updated to include the following: 1) The irt.ability() function that estimates examinee ability given a set of item parameters. The function is very general and can be used to estimate ability when there are only dichotomous items (1-, 2-, or 3PL), only polytomous items (generalized partial credit model), or a

Hello! I have just discovered a possible bug or lack of my knowledge. The last option is not so uncommon and I decided to ask here before flooding the bugs repository. Say I have a package test with vignette. Moving package directory to some other name, say test2, fails R CMD check with $ R CMD check test2 * checking for working latex ... OK * using log directory

Dear Professor Revelle and R-helpers, This is a two-part question: the first part is general, and the second is specific to the psych package. First question: In the past I've constructed composite variables from questionnaire data by using rowMeans(), and then correlating items with the scale using cor() as an informal check for "bad" items. Over the weekend I decided to take a

All of my resources for numerical analysis show that the spectral decomposition is A = CBC' Where C are the eigenvectors and B is a diagonal matrix of eigen values. Now, using the eigen function in R # Original matrix aa <- matrix(c(1,-1,-1,1), ncol=2) ss <- eigen(aa) # This results yields back the original matrix according to the formula above ss$vectors %*% diag(ss$values) %*%
