similar to: modifying INSTALL to make html but not build package

First, my site will be down December 27-28 because of a network upgrade at Penn. It will also be down at least one day before that, while I upgrade the operating system. (And another day some time in January because of a planned power outage.) Second, I have replaced the search engine in my R site: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/ I am now using Namazu instead of HtDig. The direct link to the

Does anyone know how to read a SYSTAT .syd file on Linux? (Splus 6 does it, but it is easier to find a Windows box with Systat than to download their demo. I'm wondering if there is a better way than either of these options.)

My search site, http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu, has had several problems recently, all my fault, for which I apologize. But it now seems to be running reliably, on a new computer that is much faster than the old one. It uses htdig to permit search of the Rhelp mailing list, R documents, R functions, and various combinations of these. Search has several options, including Boolean search (with AND,

Unfortunately, I am unable to get this search site working again. (The message below explains why I had to rebuild it.) The computer worked for the better part of a day downloading and installing all the help files from all CRAN packages. Somehow it failed to get the vignettes this time. But I pushed ahead and ran the part of namazu that makes the search indices: mknmz. And you can see the

It used to be that, whenever I added or updated a new package, the file /usr/lib/R/doc/html/packages.html would be updated (on Linux). Now I find that this does not happen anymore. So I found this function make.packages.html, which seems to do what I think should be done automatically. But it puts its output in a file in /tmp/..., which I then have to move, in an extra step, to where it should

I have always avoided missing data by keeping my distance from the real world. But I have a student who is doing a study of real patients. We're trying to test regression models using multiple imputation. We did the following (roughly): f <- aregImpute(~ [list of 32 variables, separated by + signs], n.impute=20, defaultLinear=T, data=t1) # I read that 20 is better than the default of

Inspired by the functions that Barry Rawlingson and Dave Forrest posted for searching Rwiki and R-help archive, I've made up a function that does the search on Prof. Baron's site (Thanks to Prof. Baron's help on setting up the query string!): RSiteSearch <- function(string, restrict="Rhelp", format="long", sortby="score",

The Goodman/Kruskal gamma is a nice descriptive rank-order correlation statistic, often used in psychology. It is nice because it is easy to understand. It takes all pairs of values of each variable and asks whether they are congruent (S+ is the number in the same order for both variables) or discordant (S-, opposite ranking). The statistic is (S+ - S-)/(S+ + S-). It is like tau except for the

I recently updated my search site at http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu It took about 7 hours with htDig, instead of the usual 3 hours. Now, when I search the "functions" index I get all sorts of non-html documents (indicated with brackets). These have never shown up before. Did htDig mogrify itself while it sat on my computer? (I didn't do anything to change it.) Or, more likely, I

Hello, All: Jonathan Baron is "giving up" maintaining the RSiteSearch database. This breaks three things: (1) The R Site Search web service that Baron has maintained. (2) The RSiteSearch function in the utils package. (3) The sos package, for which I'm the maintainer and lead author. Might someone else be willing to take these over? For me,

Don't do anything yet. I may have found the problem by accident. I tried to use the computer from something else, and it was being drastically slowed down by some leftover processes, which turned out to be xlhtml. That is something that converts Excel files. Apparently, some excel files got into the libraries, and they were causing the indexing to hang completely. I am now running everything

I've made a few changes in the indices in my R search site. http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu is the general URL, and RSiteSearch takes you to http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/search.html, which is equivalent to http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/nmz.html. The main change is that I have eliminated "Previous message" and "Next message" from each page. (I still have "Next in

I would like to impute missing data in a set of correlated variables (columns of a matrix). It looks like transcan() from Hmisc is roughly what I want. It says, "transcan automatically transforms continuous and categorical variables to have maximum correlation with the best linear combination of the other variables." And, "By default, transcan imputes NAs with "best

I'd like to generate 00Index.html for a bunch of libraries for my R search page. I have now almost all the html help files for individual functions, even for packages that won't install on my computer (e.g., because they are specific to Windows). I made these using Rdconv. But that won't make the 00Index file, and neither will Rdindex, which makes a text file. I'm probably

For maintaining my R search page at http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu (also used for RSiteSearch(), I have been extracting only the html help pages and the vignettes from most packages. (Many will not compile on Linux. And, more generally, this saves wear and tear on the computer and me.) I wrote a version of the old INSTALL script that does this. I removed various parts of it, not fully

OK. It is sort of fixed and sort of works. We'll keep it for now, but this is not going to work forever. When namazu fails completely I will not have the time to install a new search engine. One option is to use google. For a site like this, I think they will want some money, but I'm not sure, and I do not have the time to deal with it. We have over 10,000 packages now. I wonder if

This is about my searchable archive. The function RSiteSearch() now searches this archive. I'm considering the following changes. If you have comments, please write me. Try to avoid cc'ing the list. The Rhelp02a directory, which now contains all list mail from 2002 (about 100 MB), is getting larger and larger. This probably cannot go on forever, and performance might even improve if

Spencer, Thanks for the quick reply. I am open to someone who knows Perl getting an account on my site and trying to get it working. It will probably involve fixing more than one thing, as mknmz depends on some perl modules that also generate errors. My main contribution is figuring out how to extract the html help files and vignettes only, with some help from R developers and Fedora
