Hi everyone, I could have posted this on R-devel or the GUI list, however don't feel it's that serious. Hence, decided R-help would be the most appropriate. I'm not so much interested in which is the best user interface for R. Rather which is the best ***platform*** for developing ***new*** user interfaces for R. Noting I'm using the term user interface is a very general sense.

Hi I was wondering if a task view for marketing would be a good idea???? I realise that it would have some overlap with other task views. Social science, cluster and multivariate are the most obvious ones. There seem to be a lot of packages (quite in your face, if I may say so) for finance and econometrics (however this is a good thing, mostly...). However, marketing focused packages seem to be

Hi everyone, I would like to request the following features for Sweave: 1. The keep.source option, to respect empty lines in input. 2. The prefix.string option, to apply to all generated files, e.g. no Rplots.pdf. 3. That Sweave, doesn't change the graphics settings for the entire Latex Document. By default including a pdf image, should use it's actual size, rather than making it a fixed

Dear friends, I have several sets of points in a transformed environmental space. Each set of points can be represented as a cloud in the environmental space. This space is spanned by n coordinates, corresponding to the first n PCs of 36 PCs of some environmental variables (12 monthly minimum temperatures, 12 monthly maximum temperature, 12 monthly precipitations). I would like to calculate

I use Fedora 10. I need to update my computer's R version. I apologise if this has come up before. The Debian and Ubuntu download links appear reasonably up to date. The Suse download links appear almost up to date. Unfortunately, the Fedora download links are from 2008/2009. http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ Should the Fedora links be removed or updated?

Hey all, Does anyone know if there are any R packages with a copy of the KJV? I'm guessing the answer is no... So the next question, and the more important one is: Does anyone think it would be useful (e.g. for text-mining purposes)? I know almost nothing about theology, so I'm not sure what kind of questions theologists might have (that R could answer). An alternative, that would

Hi This is for developers of extension packages that provide extra *graphics devices* for R. In the *development* version of R, support has been added to the graphics engine for sending raster images (bitmaps) to a graphics device. This consists mainly of two new device functions: dev_Raster() and dev_Cap(). The R_GE_version constant (in GraphicsEngine.h) has been bumped up to 6 as a

Hi all Does anyone know if there are any R packages available for creating UML class and object diagrams in R (suitable for use with Latex)? I'm considering developing such a system... Note, I'm aware there are Latex packages (so no one needs to state the obvious). On a side issue I'm thinking about (mostly) abandoning the class system I mentioned earlier. Thank you to Martin

Hi all, Legend has it, that polite R programmers don't overwrite, say, the print function. However, this seems quite un-Darwinian to me (especially given that I don't want to call all my arguments x and y). I might want a function print.foo (myfoo, ...). So I decided to be very impolite (in one of my packages) and overwrite a few standard generics. Plus, to the best of my knowledge it

Hi all, I'm seeking feedback (good, bad or indifferent) in regards to developing (further) a new class system for R, that uses encapsulated class definitions (i.e. the method definitions are literally inside the body of the class definition). A working (however very rough and poorly tested) system is available in my R package "oosp" with documentation in the vignette

The help file for "[<-" (and "[[<-" doesn't contain those functions in it's usage section ( .../src/library/base/man/Extract.Rd ). Although that file lists "[<-" and "[[<-" as aliases, it doesn't document them in a formal manner (consequently, the "value" argument is not described in the "arguments" section.)

If R-2.10.0 were the current version of R then by default there will be an R-2.10.0 directory on your machine and when R-2.10.1 comes along a new directory R-2-10.1 will be created if you use the installation defaults. I normally don't use the defaults but rather put all R-2.10.* versions in the same directory so that R-2.10.1 overwrites R-2.10.0; however, if the first or second number in the

Dear R-users, after seeking for help in R-search I did not find any hint on my particular problem. Countless help on "true" overlay, but nothing on this. Please consider the following: par(mfrow = c(2, 1)) T <- seq(0, 20, by = 0.01) ## PLOT 1 plot(T, 30*exp(-0.65*T), type = "l" ) points(T, 30*exp(-0.26 * T), type = "l", lty = "F8") points(T,

Hi, Annoying???? I love it (except possibly when re-directing standard out to a file). I think it's one of the command line options (in which case, it will be clearly documented). No idea how it works on the GUI systems (maybe an option somewhere...). In saying that, I have to assume that if people (you?) want control over R, they are using the *command line in the first place. The GUI

Hi, I am going to sound mean here, however I don't feel the document is "very comprehensive". Maybe concise is a better word. I quickly looked through the document. The biggest problem is that there is very little discussion on multivariate distributions. Noting that multivariate distributions play a critical role in statistical theory, plus are gaining an increasing number of

I doubt str is intended to work the way you want it to. I certainly wouldn't use it that way. The choice of data structure here is inappropriate, use a vector not a list. If you absolutely must do what you are asking, then simply write your own function. Use a heuristic for object length, say if less than 200 do such and such, otherwise do something else. In regards to some of your other

Hey R people, I have just put a package on CRAN, mecdf 0.2.1. It computes multivariate ECDFs. i.e. Estimates (or perhaps I should say evaluates) a multivariate cumulative distribution function, using data, without any assumptions per se. Plus contrary to my own advise, the vignette contains some pretty pictures of the bivariate normal... The current package is relatively simple. However, I have

Hi fellow R developers/users, I've recently revised a package called rtv, and now consider it reasonably stable. Description: A package for conveniently representing, manipulating and visualising time data. Here, time is regarded as a random variable, and objects are used to represent realisations of that random variable. This is particularly useful for change points, irregular timeseries
