similar to: error: bad value ???

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

Hello, all. When I try to install the most recent BRugs package (the one that uses version 3.1.2), found here: http://www.openbugs.info/w/UserContributedCode I get the following error: > utils:::menuInstallLocal() Error in gzfile(file, "r") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In gzfile(file, "r") : cannot open compressed file

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

Hi, I've been trying to pass a character vector from R to a FORTRAN subroutine. There have been several posts discussing this issue (e.g. http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/98a/0547.html, http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/05/10/13558.html, http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/01a/2577.html, http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/01c/1795.html,

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

Hello, I would like to try to fit a GEE with user-specified link function. I read through a couple of thread on the list, for example http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/04/12/9768.html#start and http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/06/04/25298.html. I noticed that they are all 6 or more years old and the answer is very clear for GLM, however for GEE I am still not sure. There are two

Hello, I had been thinking for years, without having ever checked (shame on me), that indexing a named vector by a factor 'f' produced the same results as indexing it by 'as.character(f)'. I was wrong, as the following example shows: (m <- c(a=1,b=2)) (f <- factor(c(1,2),labels=c('b','a'))) m[f] m[as.character(f)] m[as.numeric(f)] When the

Hello, I started writing this email to describe a problem, then fixed it, so I'll display my ignorance anyway in case other people have a problem with it. What happened was that I could get apt-get to upgrade the documentation packages, but not the others. What I think was the problem was some remaining r-cran-* packages that are now in r-recommended. These seemed to be blocking the

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

R 1.9.1 requires multi-line strings to contain a backslash at the end of each line (except the last line). As noted by Mark Bravington (http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/02b/5199.html) this requirement appears to be undocumented. In S-Plus 6.2, multi-line strings do not need a backslash for continuation. I recently (http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/devel/04b/0256.html) requested

Hello! I have already reported on this behaviour at [1] and now I have checked the same example on r-devel and the problem is still there. Thomas Lumley inidicated problem [2].
