[cc'ing to R-devel] It's moderately obscure to me too, but ... There are two sets of bessel code in the package, one in C++ from Chris Bond and the other in FORTRAN from Netlib (I think). The FORTRAN code is the one that's giving trouble, you might try just removing the FORTRAN code from the src directory and trying again.

I am currently attempting to hack the recently featured profileModels package so that it can handle models generated by the lme4 (mixed models) package. I'm getting really confused by different behavior of summary() before and after loading the lme4 package, and inside and outside the profileMethod() function. The basic behavior is that with lme4 loaded, and "obj" a fitted object

The CRAN host in Tampa, FL (cran.hostingzero.net) isn't responding, and hasn't responded in quite a while -- at least problems were reported more than a year ago (Oct 2007) http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/116706.html although someone apparently succeeded in July 2008 http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/137451.html Perhaps it's just flaky, and not

In the wake of discussions about documentation of R's random number generation (and whether there should be links to .Random.seed in other places), here is a proposed patch to Uniform.Rd from 2.8.1. (Watch out for line breaks.) [R-core may choose not to accept this, but at least it's easy if they want it.] cheers Ben Bolker *** Uniform.Rd.orig 2009-01-04 14:10:47.000000000 -0500

Another dumb ggplot2 question: a facet plot with free x scale, lots of different ranges, want to specify that the x axis ticks be sparse -- only 2 or 3. I was about to say that I could figure out how to manually set the ticks for each facet if necessary, but now that I've looked around some more (at scale_continuous, facet_grid, facet_wrap, the Book ...) I think I can't even do that.

Dear Daniel (and Duncan): back in January you reported that you were having trouble saving an rgl movie on Vista. I don't know if you ever got that resolved, but a student of mine is now having a similar problem, not specific to dynamic graphics (which would have to be a problem outside of rgl anyway). He may report more on the symptoms, but essentially rgl.snapshot produces black or funky

the version 2 parser thinks I have unnecessary braces, but I can't find any. False positive or am I missing something? If a false positive, is there any way to work around the warning? * checking Rd files against version 2 parser ...

Dear Zongshan Li, I'm forwarding this back to r-help ... it's generally best to keep the conversation going in public, so that (a) other people can chime in with ideas and suggestions, (b) your question doesn't get lost if the original respondent doesn't have time to deal with it, (c) the answers are archived for future reference. Your example (I've attached it, hope it

I am having difficulty with evaluation/environment construction for a formula to be evaluated by model.matrix(). Basically, I want to construct a model matrix that first looks in "newdata" for the values of the model parameters, then in "object at data". Here's what I've tried: 1. model.matrix(~f,data=c(newdata,object at data)) -- fails because something (terms()?)

Is there a reason that Reduce() doesn't take a "..." argument that would allow arbitrary extra arguments to be passed through to the function? Here is a little example of how this would be convenient: z <- list( data.frame(state=c("California"), cases=0), data.frame(state=c("California","Massachusetts"),

Consider the following situation: we have quantified algal concentrations for a variety of species using many samples at each of three years. It seems to make sense to generate a line plot (matplot-like), with each species plotted as a separate line, with the points connected to emphasize the temporal pattern. The problem: lots of overlapping error bars. The question: from both a

I have found the "simulate" method (incorporated in some packages) very handy. As far as I can tell the only class for which simulate is actually implemented in base R is lm ... this is actually a little dangerous for a naive user who might be tempted to try simulate(X) where X is a glm fit instead, because it defaults to simulate.lm (since glm inherits from the lm class), and the

I think this is probably known by someone, but I wanted to ask/comment: The 'adapt' package has been removed from CRAN because of an 'unclear' license. That makes sense, but it actually took a bit of digging for me to discover that, and if I had been a student I might not have figured it out. The package is simply missing from the CRAN compiled packages page; I did find

Not really a bug (I eventually discovered), but ... When running GaussRF()/DoSimulateRF() with n>1, the default pch="!" prints backspaces to the terminal, which causes problems (LaTeX barfs) if you're running this within an Sweave() job. Setting RFparameters(pch="") fixes the problem. Could put this in the documentation, but I don't know where you could
