Hi folks, if you want to use MKL (the fast BLAS I have tested on my Thinkpad T410) with the R 2.14.0 built as Debian/Ubuntu packages available on CRAN mirror, the following tricks may works for without some known side-effects (likes openmp breaking issues), you may try to build your own libblas.so.3gf.0 with following command: $ gfortran -L/opt/intel/lib/intel64 -liomp5

I've attempted to use the optimized GotoBLAS2 library with a freshly compiled R-2.11.1 patched on 64-bit Ubuntu 10.4. (See details below). When I run this version of R, the timings are not different than the original install, and only one core is used in test computations. Can someone point out my error? Thanks. --Dale Details ... I'm running the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 10.04 on my 2

I want to eliminate certain observations in a large dataframe (21000x100). I have written code which does this using a binary vector (0=delete obs, 1=keep), but it uses for loops, and so it's slow and in the extreme it causes R to hang for indefinite time periods. I'm looking for one of two things: 1. A document which discusses how to avoid for loops and situations in which it's

Hi. I'm trying to install a new package. I'm a relatively long-time (though not advanced) R user and have never seen this error before. For the first example, I tried a few different CRAN mirrors. In the second example, the file does exist; I downloaded it from the CRAN website for the package and pasted in the name exactly a few different times to make sure it was right. >

I have a question for our European readers: how common is it to use commas as decimal points in spread-sheet and statistics applications? Is it an inconvenience to require that all data use a period as decimal point? (i.e., 3.14159 rather than 3,14159). We're trying to make our program as foolproof as possible, and would prefer not to give users a chance to have commas as both decimal

Sorry, my question is if exists a command tkexit in R, i need a command how exit of tcl for close an aplication. How to use him. Thank

I have successfully built R version 2.8.0 RC (2008-10-13 r46702) from subversion director on Ubuntu 8.04. I would like to build a version which uses goto BLAS. Thus far, I've downloaded the academic version of goto blas and run the quickbuild command on my system: ./quickbuild.32bit This command is successful creates a file: libgoto_baniasp-r1.26.so I'm a little vague on

We installed the Samba 3.5.1 rpms for OpenSuSE 10.2 from ftp.sernet.de. The VFS modules seem to be broken. Is this an error in the packaging or do I need to be looking else where.

Hi. I want to use R with very large files, a couple hundred megabytes, but R crashes every time that I try. Reading help files seems to indicate that R ought to manage its memory itself. I know I have enough memory since stata handles these files perfectly well. I have a mac running OS 10.3 and am running RAqua 1.8.1. Is there anything I can do to make it deal with these files successfully?

Hi, I am running Linux (64 bit) R, compiled under gnu compilers. I am looking to compile a Fortran program with the ifort (the intel compiler) and then be able to import that as a library into my version of R. I am using the flags FC=ifort and SHLIB_FCLD=ifort, however ifort does not seem to recognize the libR.so file. Does any one have experience with this/know of a a way to load an ifort

Hi, I am trying to use the merge command in the data.tables package. However, when I run the command I am not sure if it is running the merge command from the base package or the merge command from data.tables. When I run "methods(generic.function="merge")' it informs me that 'merge.data.table" is "non-visible". I am just trying to run the merge command on two

How does one put quotes within quotes, if it's possible? I've tried replacing one set of the quotes by single quotes. If it's not possible, is there any way to do the following? > cmd <- "read.dta" > opt <- "convert.factors=FALSE" > data.file <- " file="/full/path/name.dta" " > eval(call(cmd,data.file,opt)) Prior to

Dear all, I am currently trying to link R 2.1.0 to the GOTO BLAS 0.99.3 library on a box running Fedora Core 3 , basically following the steps indicated in the R-Admin document: 1: I downloaded the current libgoto.xxx.so from http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kgoto/libraries/libgoto_prescott-32-r0.99-3.so.gz, a version suitable for our XEON machine (Nocona core), unpacked it to /usr/lib and created

I hope someone here knows the answer to this since it will save me from delving deep into documentation. Based on 22 pairs of vectors, I have noticed that tetrachoric correlation coefficients in stata are almost uniformly higher than those in R, sometimes dramatically so (TCC=.61 in stata, .51 in R; .51 in stata, .39 in R). Stata's estimate is higher than R's in 20 out of 22

The R documentation for some of the foreign package's functions says that the set of variable labels becomes attributes in the resulting data frame. Thus, e.g., 5="strongly agree", 4="agree", etc. I'm happy that the labels are being passed, but unfortunately, when R summarizes the data, it will list it only as categories, and doesn't deal with the

Hi, I am doing a small experiment to test if I can use MathJax ( official site: http://www.mathjax.org ) in R's html help pages (i.e. options(help_type='html')) and it seems working with some minor modifications. The screenshot (rendered by Firefox 4.0 beta and with STIX fonts) of the help page in html format with MathJax enabled is at the following url:

Windows (both XP and 98) seems to have a problem with our GUI, written using R's tcl/tk package. When we open another window, and then return to the GUI, the GUI has old pieces of text left from the previous windows and/or places which are cut off where a window had been. Also, when it computes something, the window will often decide to move itself over for no apparent reason, so it moves

Dear List, I have a theoretical question related to epidemiological data analysis: If the treatment status (tx = 0,1) changes over time for the patients in a non-randomized cohort, is there a way to estimate the treatment effect? (i.e., after joining the study, some patients may have to wait for a period of time before receiving the treatment, i.e., the situation of patient with id == 2 for the
