Error message: 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

Survey of "moving window" statistical functions - still looking f or fast mad function
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

passing character vectors to FORTRAN
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,

GEE with user-specified link function
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.

Surprise when indexing with a factor.
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)]

stable backport apt problem (solved)
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

Multi-line string constants: proposed patch
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.
