similar to: how to undo automatic loading of packages?

As some of you will be aware, TeXLive 2009 was released last month having blocked updates on earlier versions since May. This has lead to a flood of updates of LaTeX packages, as a result of which the PDF manuals of R 2.10.0 and earlier will no longer build, for two separate reasons. For MiKTeX users: at least version 2.8 (the current one) has the same updates (a week or so later) and has

Dear R users and Dear authors of the distr package and sequels I am trying to use the (very nice) package distrMod as I want to implement maximum likelihood (ML) fit of some univariate data for which I have derived a theoretical continuous density (pdf). As it is a parametric density, I guess that I should implement myself a new distribution of class AbscontDistributions (as stated in the pdf

The new version 2.2 of our distr-family of packages has now been available on CRAN for several days. As there were many changes we will only sketch the most important ones here. For more details see the corresponding NEWS files (e.g. news(package = "distr") or using function NEWS from package startupmsg i.e. NEWS("distr")). First of all a new package distrEllipse was added

Could someone please tell me what I did wrong to create this message or what I should do to correct this problem? I downloaded 2.1.0 Windows binary and installed into C:/R/rw2010, using the installer. I ran md5check.exe in C:/R/rw2010/bin/ and got "No errors." The problem is this: When I start up Rgui.exe from its shortcut (target= C:\R\rw2010\bin\Rgui.exe --save -sdi, Start in

Hi r-users,   I would like to solve for z values using newton iteration method.  I 'm not sure which part of the code is wrong since I'm not very good at programming but would like to learn.  There seem to be some output but what I expected is a vector of z values.  Thank you so much for any help given.   newton.inputsingle <- function(pars,n) {  runi    <- runif(974, min=0, max=1)

I've only been using R on and off for 9 months and started using the glasso package for sparse covariance estimation. I know the concept is to shrink some of the elements of the covariance matrix to zero. However, say I have a dataset that I know has some underlying "baseline" covariance/correlation (say, a value of 0.3), how can I change or incorporate that into to the

Hello, I get a segfault when running glmmboot in my own package glmmML. Has happened many time before, but this time I get no hint of where in my C functions the error might be. I give the output below. Can this be an R bug? I suspect it has to do with repeated calls to 'vmmin' like this: for (...){ vmax = vmaxget(); vmmin(*p, b, &Fmin, bfun,

We are having problems building R on Red Hat Linux 6.0/Sparc. R compiles with no problem but then it fails "make tests". Specifically, the line eigen(cbind(-1,c(1:2,0),0:2)) # complex values causes a segmentation fault. Previous versions of Red Hat Linux did not give this problem. The eigen() function is one of the rare cases in the base library where Fortran code is called via the

I'm trying to implement a recursive function using integrate, and I suspect I need a Vectorize somewhere, but I can't suss it out. Any help would be appreciated. I've tried traceback() and various debugging ideas to no avail (most likely due to my inexperience with these tools.) Here's what I have. Nk <- function(m, C) { if (length(m) > 1) { rho <- C[1, -1]

Dear all, I need to do some calculation where the code used are below. I get error message when I choose k to be large, say greater than 25. The error message is "Error in integrate(temp, lower = 0, upper = 1, k, x, rho, m) : the integral is probably divergent". Can anyone give some help on resolving this. Thanks.

Hi R-users,   I have this code here: library(numDeriv)   fprime <- function(z) { alp  <- 2.0165;   rho  <- 0.868;   # simplified expressions   a      <- alp-0.5   c1     <- sqrt(pi)/(gamma(alp)*(1-rho)^alp)   c2     <- sqrt(rho)/(1-rho)   t1     <- exp(-z/(1-rho))   t2     <- (z/(2*c2))^a   bes1   <- besselI(z*c2,a)   t1bes1 <- t1*bes1   c1*t1bes1*t2 }   ## Newton

Suppose F(x, y; rho) is the cdf of a bivariate normal distribution, with standardized marginals and correlation parameter rho. For any fixed x and y, I wonder if F(x, y; rho) is a monotone increasing function of rho, i.e., there is a 1 to 1 map from rho to F(x, y; rho). I explored it using the function pmvnorm in package mvtnorm with different x and y. The plot suggests the statement may be true.

Hello, I'm using the function nlminb of the package stats inside a loop and when the number of trials grows, R crashes and says "R GUI front-end has stopped working". Could you help me with this problem? I have try in versions 2.15.1,2.15.2 and 3.0.0. > sessionInfo() R version 2.15.2 (2012-10-26) Platform: i386-w64-mingw32/i386 (32-bit) locale: [1]
