Hi, useR- I am connecting to Oracle database using RODBC, but keep getting this error message: > library(RODBC) > channel <- odbcConnect(dsn="abc", uid="abc", pwd="abc", case='oracle') Warning in odbcDriverConnect(st, ...) : [RODBC] ERROR: state IM002, code 0, message [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default

Hi, I am new to R and I'm looking to perform some method comparison analysis and would be grateful for some help regarding package installation. There is a package 'MethComp' that I want to use (http://staff.pubhealth.ku.dk/~bxc/MethComp/Courses/Sthm.2007/.) Unfortunately I am unable to install it. I have tried numerous approaches but to no avail. this is the first time I have tried to

Dear WizaRds, I wrote a small function in R and would like to create a package. The necessary documentation is done, Rtools etc. are installed and I am still unable to complete the process under Windows. I did extensive research in the archives and read the Murdoch-Sutherland website on the Rtools and MikTeX hints. I realize that I understand only half or less of what is said there

Hi, useRs- I have a plot with a title generated automatically. I need to overwrite the title, but I can't figure out how to do that.

All, I'm running R v2.7.1 on Mac OS X. When I go to the R package installer GUI, I am not prompted to select a repository. The usual screen is there but the columns for package, installed version, and repository version are all populated via blank entries. If I select "Get List" the error below occurs. The same thing occurs if I go form the command line via install.packages.

Dear All: I have a question regarding the behavior of functions. Say I define a function that returns another function : A <- function(parameters) { # calculations w/ parameters returning 'y' tmpf <- function(x) { # function of 'y' } return(tmpf) } The value of the parameters are stored in an environment local to the function. Then I call x<- something

I tend to use the same tool-chain across various hosts so I made this very simple patch that allows you to pass the cross-compiler name to make ( e.g. make CROSS_COMPILE=i686-nptl-linux-gnu-). I'm not sure if patches should be attached or just pasted inline so I did both this time. BTW, it's relative to syslinux 4 but the same changes work with syslinux 3 although the patch won't

I cannot access internet through R. My IT-guys told me that I should set the proxy and the port and then everything will be fine. Where can I set them? I use R 2.6.2 under Windows 2000 and these settings are those of the Internet Explorer (no password). I read http://cran.at.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#The-Internet-download-functions-fail_002e but staring R by "C:\Program

Dear R-Users, I think I have encountered a potential bug (or at least unwanted behavior), but I'm not sure so I wanted to post here first. Lately I've been encountering an error when running a package I put together. I have my package set up to check for updates when it loads but this error occurs and stops the package from loading: Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for

Dear List, The following code produces a list, which is what I what: set.seed(123) tmpf <- function() { x <- rpois(rpois(1,4),2) } n <- 3 m <- replicate(n,tmpf()) m [[1]] [1] 3 2 4 [[2]] [1] 0 2 4 2 2 5 2 [[3]] [1] 2 0 4 1 0 Now I need something that would to extract iteratively (or as many times as the size of 'n') the values that are greater than 2 in each component of

Dear List, Below is a simple, standard loss model that takes into account the terms of an insurance policy: deductible <- 15 coverage.limit <- 75 insurance.threshold <- deductible + coverage.limit tmpf <- function() { loss <- rlnorm(rpois(1, 3), 2, 5) sum(ifelse(loss > insurance.threshold, loss - coverage.limit, pmin(loss, deductible))) } net <- replicate(1000000, tmpf())

Hello everyone, I get (reproducible) segfaults when I try to update my packages, and was wondering whether anyone knows why this might be happening. I am trying to update my packages: 1. I start R via sudo in a terminal 2. I type update.packages() - a Tcl/Tk list pops up, I select a mirror 3. R segfaults. Maybe I need to update to a newer version of R or something? Slightly OT, but does anyone

It would be really nice if nlm took a set of "..." optional arguments that were passed through to the objective function. This level of hacking is probably slightly beyond me: is there a reason it would be technically difficult/inefficient? (I have a vague memory that it used to work this way either in S-PLUS or in some previous version of R, but I could easily be wrong.) Here's
