There are some interesting comments re Paul Murrell's new book, R, & SAS on Andrew Gelman's blog: http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~cook/movabletype/archives/2005/04/a_new_book_on_r.html -- Tony Plate

Dear List Is there a package for leapfrog plotting (Hamiltonian Monte Carlo estimation) in R? I tried the actual "LEAPFrOG" package which doesn't actually give the plot like this one? http://xianblog.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/hamilton.jpg How doe one plot this in R? So, there semi-circle and dots on that semi-circle. I don't think curve() or plot() would produce such plot.

I read this paper <https://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~ihaka/downloads/Compstat-2008.pdf> and haven't been able to find out what happened - I have seen some sporadic mention in message groups but nothing definitive. Does anyone know? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I came across a quite interesting post from Ross Ihaka, thought would be good to share it and get the opinion of folks around here.

Is it conceivable that Julia could be ported to use R syntax in a way that would allow the vastly larger numbers of R programmers to seamlessly switch? Or equivalently, could an iteration of R itself do this?

But you can easily fall back to R from within Julia; see http://juliastats.github.io/RCall.jl/latest/ On Aug 5, 2016 1:27 PM, "Hadley Wickham" <h.wickham at gmail.com> wrote: > No. > > Hadley > > On Fri, Aug 5, 2016 at 11:12 AM, Kenny Bell <kmbell56 at gmail.com> wrote: > > Is it conceivable that Julia could be ported to use R syntax in a way > that

Hello, this might be little off-topic, but still... I have not found any official web forum for R users. Did I look good? If not, I'm sorry and shame on me! :-) Such forums are very probably the most common way to share information about all sorts of problems, to ask and get answer. See http://forums.opensuse.org/ as an example. Admins, developers, users, do You think to have such forum

This isn''t Rails or Ruby related, but I just need some advice and thought I''d ask the bright individuals here. I want to start my own blog but I''m not sure where to begin. I don''t want to get a blogger account because I want to have my own domain. Blogger also doesn''t have many features. My hosting service is 1AND1 so it supports php, cgi and mysql.

Dear R-users, I've recently switched to Ubuntu and I've decided to use Kate to edit my R code. I really like how Kate allows one to simply pipe their code to the terminal. However, I would find it even better if I could actually get the Kate console to display error messages (or any console outputs in fact) in red and my input in a different color. The instance of xterm that Ubuntu

Hi, The R FAQ suggests that we can cite Ihaka and Gentleman (1996) in publications. Does anyone have an electronic copy of this that could be (legally) made publically available -- my library here doesn't take this journal (Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics). Otherwise, I can order it through interlibrary loan. Thanks, Stephen

In their paper, "Lexical Scope and Statistical Computing", the authors ( Gentleman and Ihaka ) go to great length explaining why R's use of lexical scoping creates advantages when doing statistical computations. If anyone has or is familiar with this paper, could they provide the main program code for how the "newton" function would be called in their example on page 500

I am really new with R Graphical user interfacefunctions. I am developing a software package to calculate pKa (biochemistry) but I want to make it look aesthetically pleasing and make it user friendly. I have heard that R has some GUI (Graphical user interface) and you can do some really cool stuff out there. What are the limitations and what are some resources for help. I have found a couple of

I am creating a Slovak translation of an interactive website ( http://mazamascience.com/OilExport/index_sk.html ) and am running into problems with R's lack of support for the caron found in the following letters: Č/č, Š/š and Ž/ž. I am using R 2.6.1 running on a recent version of CentOS. Any information about whether these characters are supported or any possible workarounds would be

I am pleased to announce the immediate release of Radius 0.5.0. Radius is a small, but powerful tag-based template language for Ruby inspired by the template languages used in MovableType <www.movabletype.org> and TextPattern <www.textpattern.com>. It uses tags similar to XML, but can be used to generate any form of plain text (HTML, e-mail, etc...). This release is much more feature
