similar to: multicore - no parallel

It runs more than twice as slowly using 8 core than using a single core in inverting large matrix. Tested on 8 core Windows XP 64 machine. > n = 1000 > n.simu = 100 > func1 = function() + { + x = rnorm(n*n) + dim(x)=c(n,n) + y = solve(x) + } > > setMKLthreads(1) > system.time(for(i in 1:n.simu) func1()) user system elapsed 69.48 2.42 71.91

Hi Everybody, Thanks in advance for your help. This is my first time using the foreach statement and I cant get it to work properly so here is what i have test<-function(){ repeat { cand2[l-1]<-rinvgamma(1,phi,lambda[l-1]) q2<-dinvgamma(cand2[l-1],phi,lambda[l-1]) p2<-cand2[l-1]^-1.5*exp(-y[l]^2/(2*cand2[l-1]))*exp(-((log(cand2[l-1])-mu_t_cand[l-1])^2)/2*sigmasq)

Oftentimes, I see graphs on the web that *look* like they've been produced by R, but I can never be sure. Or can I? I notice that PostScript files include a "%%%Creator: R Software" line, but do R graphics drivers encode any identifying information in GIF or PNG files more commonly used on the web? And of so, would such evidence necessarily be obliterated in post-processing (e.g

For those who don't follow Ubuntu development carefully, the first Beta for the next Ubuntu was recently released, so I took my home system and upgraded to help out with filing bugs, etc. Just to be clear, I am not looking for help with the upgrade process. I've had R, and a few miscellaneous CRAN packages installed on this computer for years. Today, when I loaded an R session I had

Hi all - has anyone ot and experienced problems with R+. Have downloaded the trail and it will not work -does it need vista (like it says on the box!) Thanks glenn [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I found the following document on making R packages. But it is old. I'm wondering if there is more current ones and hopefully more complete ones. http://biosun1.harvard.edu/courses/individual/bio271/lectures/L6/Rpkg.pdf

Hi, I was told to use "<-" instead of "=" in the mailing list. I am wondering what the difference between them? Regards, Peng

Hi, I have seen a lot of problems from people trying to compile R with MKL. So I am writing my experience in case it helps and to ask one question. I installed R-2.8.1.patched in Ubuntu 9.04 (gcc 4.3.3) using MKL 10.1.1.019. I configured correctly (following MKL userguide) with : sudo ./configure --with-blas="-I/opt/intel/mkl/10.1.1.019/include -L/opt/intel/mkl/10.1.1.019/lib/em64t

There are now several R geographic user groups, and a few have mailing lists on the R mailing list system. Thanks to Martin M, there's also a pointer to a page I'm maintaining to list/describe the groups. The page is at http://macnash.telfer.uottawa.ca/RUG.html Contact me if you have a listing. I'm prepared to wikify it if there is sufficient interest. John Nash

Dear all, I am totally confused by the following R output, but don't have a clue for it. > a <- 1 - 0.2 > a == 0.8 [1] TRUE > a <- 1 - 0.8 > a == 0.2 [1] FALSE > a <- 1 - 0.5 > a == 0.5 [1] TRUE > a <- 1 - 0.6 > a == 0.4 [1] TRUE > a <- 1 - 0.9 > a == 0.1 [1] FALSE My R version is Windows XP R version 2.8.1 (2008-12-22).

*(note*: This is an R community question, not a statistical nor coding question. Since this is my first time writing such a post, I hope no one will take offence of it.) Hello all, I will be attending useR 2009 next week, and was wondering if there are any of you who are *bloggers *intending to participate and report on useR 2009? If so - I would love to know your blogs URL so as to follow you.

Hi all, I have successfully built from source the 32-bit version of R on my Vista 64-bit box. I was hoping to graduate to a 64-bit version so I could analyze some larger data sets. I have 8gb RAM installed. I downloaded the latest 64-bit versions of Perl and MinGW but wasn't sure how to edit the source code to have it build using the 64-bit versions. I did change my PATH variable to

It seems like a recent trend in R has been to make character vectors and factors almost equivalent (apart from the way that factors always remember their original range). There are a few exceptions: * summary.character != summary.factor * table(x, exclude = NULL) != table(factor(x), exclude=NULL) when x includes missing values * strsplit on a factor > strsplit(factor(c("a",

Hi, I have good understanding on Econometrics and statistical techniques. However, I am new to R. What would be the best way to learn R as I would be one of the few in my team started exploring R in your team. I have got a few downloads on R introduction, but I am not a FAN of online reading. Can some one guide me with some books on R and statistical models using R. Sincere thanks.... And

Greetings, I usually read this mailing list through google groups (http://groups.google.com/group/r-help-archive), but when I opened the webpage this morning it said: "The group named r-help-archive has been removed because it violated Google's Terms Of Service." Is there an alternative website which uses a similar structure to google groups? I had a quick browse on the R Wiki
