When I create a manual for a package that I create and use locally, e.g. via R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf foo where ``foo'' is the name of the directory containing the source for the package (also named ``foo'') the resulting manual does not appear to have an index. The package.pdf files appearing on CRAN all seem to have indices. What must I do to get an index appended to the

If I execute R CMD Rd2dvi foo.Rd I get messages of the form: Converting Rd files to LaTeX ... foo.Rd Creating dvi output from LaTeX ... Saving output to 'foo.dvi' ... cp: .Rd2dvi4366/Rd2.dvi: No such file or directory Done xdvi-xaw: Fatal error: foo.dvi: No such file. Indeed if I add the --no-clean flag and then cd to the .Rd2dvi<whatever> directory, I find that there is no

I tried to search for a string of words ``as one entity'' following the example in the help file: > RSiteSearch("{logistic regression}") and got the error message: 2008-09-11 08:55:41.356 open[823] No such file: /Users/rturner/http:/ search.r-project.org/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query={logistic+regression}

I recently tried to install the latest version of spatstat, from CRAN, using the install.packages() function. It proceeded to install version 1.17-5 of spatstat, although the current version is 1.18-4. Checking the CRAN mirror that I used (New Zealand) via Firefox, I found that version 1.18-4 is indeed present on CRAN. I was able to download and install version 1.18-4 ``manually''

In an elderly version of ``plotSymbols'' (now in the cwhmisc package) that I had lying around, there was the example plot(1:10,xlab="\374") which the comments said would give a u-umlaut as the x-axis label. When I execute this plot (a) I get no x-axis label at all, and (b) the plot ``freezes'' in that further plotting commands (e.g. plot(runif(42))) produce no

I was flummoxed for a long time by errors generated when I did something like install.packages(foo,lib="Rlib") where ``Rlib'' is my personalized directory of R packages, which lives in my home directory (from which I started R before issuing the foregoing install.packages() call. Recently someone (I forget who, but thanks very much to whomever it was) pointed out that I

I used to have the following in my .Rprofile: if (length(.libPaths())==1) .libPaths(paste(Sys.getenv("HOME"),"/Library/R/",paste(R.version$major,as.integer(R.version$minor),sep='.'),"/library",sep='')) -- and it added my user-defined library directory. Then I installed packages there, so during an upgrade, I'd know exactly which packages I

Suppose I have multiple time series with names for each one, for example, x <- ts(matrix(rnorm(30,0,1),10,3), names=c("Juan", "Tuey", "Trey"), frequency=4) So now, as I start to explore these series, if I do everything at once, the names stay attached to the series. For example, plot(x) # gives a plot of the series with their names acf(x) # gives the ACFs &

A professor here at Vanderbilt sent me the following code. Each of the text strings should right justify against the center vertical bar, but because of font issues it doesn't. I understand that there are workarounds, but I was just curious if this was consistent across all platforms. On linux with R 2.7.1 and R-trunk (r46103), both acrobat reader 8 and kpdf render it incorrectly. How

Dear list-member, I am currently developing a package with S4 classes. The NAMESPACE and DESCRIPTION is printed below. Within this package I have set a method "residuals" for two classes. In version 2.8.1 these two are reported whereas in R-Devel (2009-01-28 r47766). What have I missed? What has changed and how can I rectify the issue? Your help and pointers are welcome. For 2.8.1:

Dear R users, I am having a minor but annoying issue with R.app. It doesn't retain the history information from the previous sessions. By "history," I mean a record of commands/functions entered into R rather than the list of objects--that is properly recorded in the .Rdata file as well as in a workspace file I save separately.

Dear all - I have followed the thread the reply to which was lead by Thomas Lumley about using pweibull to generate fitted survival curves for survreg models. http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/04/11/7766.html Using the lung data set, data(lung) lung.wbs <- survreg( Surv(time, status)~ 1, data=lung, dist='weibull') curve(pweibull(x, scale=exp(coef(lung.wbs)),

I'm getting an error when applying all.equal() to objects of class POSIXt. E.g. x <- strptime(rep("2007-02-12",10),format="%Y-%m-%d") all.equal(x,x) Error in target[[i]] : subscript out of bounds The object seems to have to be of double-digit length to trigger the error. E.g. all.equal(x[1:9],x[1:9]) returns TRUE. I did a cursory search of the r-help pages and

Hello, I apologize for the post as I am certainly overlooking a simple solution to my difficulties with getting a legend to print on a survplot from the rms package. I am plotting the following: survplot(survest(fita), n.risk=T, conf='none', cex.n.risk=.85, dots=T, col='gray10', lty=2) survplot(survest(fit), n.risk=F, conf='none', add=T) survplot(survest(fitb), n.risk=F,

Is there an easy way to compare complex numbers? Here is a small example: > (z1=polyroot(c(1,-.4,-.45))) [1] 1.111111-0i -2.000000+0i > (z2=polyroot(c(1,1,.25))) [1] -2+0i -2+0i > x=0 > if(any(identical(z1,z2))) x=99 > x [1] 0 # real and imaginary parts: > Re(z1); Im(z1) [1] 1.111111 -2.000000 [1] -8.4968e-21 8.4968e-21 > Re(z2); Im(z2) [1] -2

I've got read.table to successfully read in my table of three columns. Most of the time I will have a set number of rows, but sometime that will be variable and sometimes there will be only be two variables in one row, e.g. Time Loc1 Loc2 1 22.33 44.55 2 66.77 88.99 3 222.33344.55 4 66.77 88.99 Is there any way to have read.table handle (1) a variable number of rows, and (2) sometime there

Hello Again R Folk: I have found items about this in the archives, but I?m still not getting it right. I want to use ggplot2 with facet_grid inside a function with user specified variables, for instance: p <- ggplot(data, aes_string(x = fac1, y = res)) + facet_grid(. ~ fac2) Where data, fac1, fac2 and res are arguments to the function. I have tried p <- ggplot(data,

Dear all, I had trouble in setting up WinBUGS on my Mac, and I'm seeking for some help here. I followed the instruction by Tom Palmer here: http://www.ruudwetzels.com/MacBUGS/winbugsonmacosx.pdf I installed Darwine 1.1.21, and downloaded WinBUGS14. However, when I double-clicked the WinBUGS14.exe file, a black-box dialog window poped up, and I got error message in the Wine log as

Dear all, I am trying to use the Cairo package to avoid some X11 issues and it works very well. However, when I want to add a legend to my plots, I receive an error message from Cairo: > library(Cairo) > CairoPNG(file="test.png") > plot(1:100) > dev.off() null device 1 This works fine. But: > CairoPNG(file="test.png") > plot(1:100) >

Hello Again... I?m making a faceted plot of a response on two categorical variables using ggplot2 and having troubles with the coloring. Here is a sample that produces the desired plot: compareCats <- function(data, res, fac1, fac2, colors) { require(ggplot2) p <- ggplot(data, aes(fac1, res)) + facet_grid(. ~ fac2) jit <- position_jitter(width = 0.1) p <- p +
