Hi. I have the following question about reading from large data objects from within R functions; I have tried to simplify my problem as much as possible in what follows. Imagine I have various large data objects sitting in my global environment (call them "data1", "data2", ...). I want to write a function "extract" that extracts some of the rows of a particular

What is the "classic" R function for solving a (possibly over determined) system of non-linear equations? Thank you!

Hi Does anyone know of any R routines to send emails from R, under Windows? I thought about writing such a facility using the R(D)COM package to drive e.g. MS Outlook, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel. I have found a function Sys.mail in the library syskern, but this only works under Unix by shelling out a mail command. Thanks, David

Hi Does anybody know of any R packages under Windows to produce video files from a sequence of R graphs -- e.g. in .wmv or avi format? Thanks David

Hello I am using Duncan Lang's RDCOM Client package (available on omegahat.org) under R 1.7.0 and Windows XP Pro. Is this the right forum for questions about this package? In case it is, here is my question: Instances of COM objects do not seem to terminate as expected, but leave residual processes running. For example, if I try the simple example: E <-

hi I need 'rw1062.zip' since i can't get excel, R1070 or R1071 to work with the R (D)COM Server everything worked fine in the god rw1062 days the lapack routines can't be loaded 'unable to load shared library c:\r/moduleslapack.dll, the specified library could not be found' don't know if it's the forward slashes that anoys windows btw, the libraries are in the

Hi I'm having problems getting the "factorized" argument in solve.QP (part of the quadprog library) to work as expected. The helpfile states that when the factorized argument is set to TRUE, then the function requires the inverse of a square-root factor of the Hessian instead of the Hessian itself. That is, when factorized=TRUE, the Dmat argument should be a matrix R^(-1), such

Hi I am using package RODBC version 1.0-1 under R version 1.7.1 on Windows XP Pro. I am having problems writing a new table to an (Excel) database using sqlSave. I connect to an empty Excel spreadsheet using odbcConnectExcel (which, I believe, uses the Microsoft Excel Driver DSN). Then I try and save a new table to the database(spreadsheet) using SqlSave, but obtain an error message. Below is

Hi Does anyone know of any automatic way of mapping out the dependencies of a function -- i.e. automatically listing which other functions that function calls? I tried using all.names or all.vars, but I can't get it to work on a function: e.g. > test = function(x, y) return(sin(x + y)*cos(x + y)) > all.names(expression(test)) [1] "test" I guess the problem is that all.names

Hi Is there a way to specify the location on the screen where a new graphics device opens, for example with a call to win.graph()? I'm using R 1.7.0 on Windows XP. Thank you. Regards, David

Hi I am using the heatmap function in package mva to look at large correlation matrices visually. Is there any way to "flip" the output of heatmap plot left-right so that, if presented with a correlation matrix, it plots the unity elements in the correlation matrix along a diagonal from top left to bottom right? For example: library(mva) x = matrix(rnorm(1000), ncol=10) z = cor(x)

The example from the help page for strptime has the following oddity: > dates <- c("02/27/92", "02/27/92", "01/14/92", + "02/28/92", "02/01/92") > times <- c("23:03:20", "22:29:56", "01:03:30", + "18:21:03", "16:56:26") > x <-

Hi all. I've been lurking and posting on this list for a few years now. Prior to that, I managed the US Convertible Arbitrage portfolio for Amaranth Advisors. I recently agreed to manage a similar portfolio for a different hedge fund and am looking for someone to join me, essentially as the principal quant for a new San Francisco office. I've been very impressed with the posters on

Hello all: Why arbitrage rarely works. Peter Dalgaard's "Introductory Statistics with R" sells on AMAZON U.S. website at USD 44.95 and on AMAZON U.K at GBP 21.00. At the current exchange rate, the U.K. price translates to USD 32.68, a 27% savings BUT for delivery: the U.S. AMAZON promises 6-10 days whereas in the U.K. 4-6 weeks is promised.

I think the thing that is missing is a simple way for end users on windows to replace blas/lapack libraries with MKL-a package that you install that puts the libraries in the right place. Microsoft provides something for their distro, but we don't have the equivalent if you get R from cran. On 29 October 2017 at 22:01, Kenny Bell wrote: | User here: incorporating Intel's MKL, as MRO
