Dear R People: I have finally seen the error of my ways and have decided to use ESS for R and S + stuff. However, I have a question right from the beginning. I'm somewhat confused by the installation instructions. Do I install XEMACS or ESS first, please? Windows XP R Version 2.0.1 (S + 6.2) Thanks so much! Sincerely, Laura Holt mailto: lauraholt_983 at hotmail.com

Hi, dear all, I just switch to vista (ultimate) and have heard there is some problem for the installation of xemacs on vista. Is there any insight or experience that you could share? I really appreciate any input. thank you so much!

Hi, I decided to try emacs and ess with R, but to no avail. How are these things suppose to work with R - or work, period? I downloaded the latest windows versions of each and installed them as the documentation says. But then the documentation for ess says to add (require 'ess-site) to /.emacs and restart emacs. Where is /.emacs???? I opened the ess-site.el file and it also says to

Hi, I have adviced my students to install R and an editor on a USB drive for working in the computer class. With R everything works fine following these instructions: http://personal.bgsu.edu/~mrizzo/Rmisc/usbR.htm. But several editors (e.g., Tinn-R and WinEdt) require administrator rights. I have found out that Emacs (Vincent Goulet's Emacs for Windows Modified

Dear all, I have to develop a (hopefully) small package for R in C++. I didn't code in C++ for some years, and i'm now searching for an adequate IDE for this task. Some of my criterions : not proprietary, not too heavy, open to linux, not java gasworks, still maintained, etc After looking on several places

I have been using the document written by John Fox titled Sn Introduction to ESS + XEmacs for Windows Users of R. It's a very nice document and I went through it carefully but I got an error when I finished it and launched XEmacs. The error is "cannot open load file : ess-site". So, I did more investigation and it seems like there is a folder Program

I decided to try out Xemacs instead of Emacs in Linux (RH 7.2). After doing lots of configuration of Xemacs, I finally discovered a major problem. With Emacs, when I use R, I start Emacs twice (at least), in different viewports, once as emacs -f R and once as emacs myfile.R Then I try commands in the first one, and, when they work (which isn't very often), I cut the command with C-w,

Is there a repository from which I can install a recent version of ess as a Debian/Ubuntu package for amd_64? On the Ubuntu list of packages the released version of ess for hardy is 5.3.0-1 which seems, well, ancient. I see that there is a 5.3.8 version from the SVN sources for intrepid but IIRC trying to install that bring you into all the fun with pinning, etc. It seems there is a binary

I'm trying to get R to simulate the sum of the values on 10 fair dice (yes, it's related to a homework problem, but is not the problem itself). I tried to do this: > rep(sum(sample(1:6,100,replace=T)), times=10) [1] 341 341 341 341 341 341 341 341 341 341 and noticed that sum(sample()) seems to be only evaluated once. How can I overcome this, so that I get a vector of values that

I'm trying to replicate some of the examples from my textbook in R (my text uses Minitab). In this problem, I'm trying to construct a 95% confidence interval for these distance measurements [1]: > # Case Study 7.4.1, p. 483 > x <- scan() 1: 62 52 68 23 34 45 27 42 83 56 40 12: Read 11 items > alpha<-.95 > mean(x) + qt(c((1-alpha)/2, 1-((1-alpha)/2)), df=length(x)-1) *

Hi List, I remember someone mentioning a R-specific bundle of Emacs. Can you please post link again? Regards, Atul. -- Atul S.

Hello: Could anyone point me to a nice example where someone has created methods for "[" on a user defined Class? I looked at the package Matrix but that was a little daunting. I'm looking for someone a little more introductory. I've tried to search the help section and the web but its difficult since "[" isn't searchable. Thanks in advance! Greg [[alternative

Is there a canonical way to check if all elements of a vector or matrix are the same?

Hi, I try to use Emacs or XEmacs with R in a MacOS X Panter without X11. Anybody can make this work? How?

Dear R developers, I'm a former APL programmer. In that language, the "take" (up arrow) and "drop" (down arrow) operators were extensively used to, well, take and drop elements of vectors. Functions head() and tail() are equivalents in R for the "take" operator, but nothing seems to mimic the "drop" operator. I think it would be useful. For

Hello, please excuse me if this is not the appropriate mailing list, but I'll give it a try! I recently switched from using Emacs 20.7.1 to XEmacs 21.4, both on cygwin / MS W2K. On Emacs the ESS 5.1.17 was working well, but now, when calling R from within XEmacs, it first asks for the working directory, then says "R process is not running". The ESS buffer holds the

Hi all, I don't know if this is the proper place to ask this, but I am trying to configure emacs/ess on Ubuntu 8.04 to run the way described for ESS and Xemacs in Windows (John Fox's guide). I installed ess as directed at http://ess.r-project.org/Manual/ . Under Windows I could use Emacs/ess fine (but I am obviously a novice at emacs), but am having trouble doing so in Ubuntu. At

Please ignore (and excuse) my previous message - it is incomplete. I'm trying to get R and ESS to work with Xemacs on a newly installed SuSE 9.0 system. Is some setup required beyond installing the rpms? I've installed the Xemacs packages from SuSE xemacs-info-21.4.13-35 xemacs-packages-el-20030629-37 xemacs-21.4.13-35 xemacs-el-21.4.13-35 xemacs-packages-info-20030629-37
