Hi, The following is a cut/paste from http://developer.r-project.org/200update.txt: ... 3) When a package is installed, all the data sets are loaded to see what they produce. If this is undesirable (because they are enormous, or depend on other packages that need to be installed later, ...), add a `datalist' file to the data subdirectory as described in `Writing R

The following can't be right, first rw2010: > 1 %% 0.001 [1] 0.001 Then rw2001: > 1 %% 0.001 [1] -2.081668e-17 > and the last seems about right. -- Kjetil Halvorsen.

FYI, I've tried posting the below message twice to the bug tracking system, once by email (below), and the second time 5 days later directly to the bugs.r-project.org website. As far as I can tell, the bug tracking system hasn't picked this up. Also it looks like the latest "incoming" bug is dated 25 May 2008, so perhaps others are having difficulty as well. (cc: r-bugs)

I was recently browsing through CRAN's Finance task view to remind myself of the publicly available packages relevant to my work. As the reference manuals are all online, I am able to flip through the available functions to get an idea of the package's scope before downloading. That said, many authors have taken the time to additionally provide a useful vignette which provides a better

R-help, Given a simple linear model, say lm(x ~ y + z), I would like to remove model terms that are factors with only one level. Thus, if 'z' were a factor with only one level, lm(x ~ y + z) becomes lm(x ~ y + 1). Likewise, if both 'y' and 'z' are one-level factors, then the resulting calculation is simply lm(x ~ 1). Unfortunately, I have not been able to come up with an

R-Developers, I'm looking for some help computing on the R language. I'm hoping to write a function that parses a language or expression object and returns another expression with all instances of certain argument of a given function altered. For instance, say I would like my function, myFun to take an expression and whenever the argument 'x' appears within the function FUN inside

Hello, I found a potential problem in R 2.1.0 (and R 2.0.1) I expect that > tmp <- FUN(x1, x2, x3, x4) > as.data.frame(tmp) is the same as > as.data.frame(FUN(x1, x2, x3, x4)) since the tmp variable in this case is unnecessary. However, below I will demonstrate that under an odd set of conditions, I can correctly perform as.data.frame(tmp), but not as.data.frame(FUN(x1, x2, x3,

Upon upgrading to R 2.2.0 on my Windows box, I found that one of my packages no longer compiled, giving this error: Error in read.table(zfile, header =3D TRUE) : more columns than column names Execution halted After removing every line of code from my package and still not being able to compile it, I found the error to be related to a .txt file in my data directory. I reduced my data file to a

I have found a solution to the new("call") problem that I believe produces the correct behavior for the default call object, and am also reclassifying this as a bug, as I believe the current behavior to be incorrect. Recap, the following error occurs: > new("call") Error in print("<undef>"()) : couldn't find function "<undef>" It looks

Hello, I've decided to take the leap and try my hand at the lattice package, though I am getting stuck at what one might consider a trivial problem, plotting text at a point in a graph. Apologies in advance if (that) I'm missing something extremely basic. Consider in base graphics: > plot(1:10) > text(2, 4, "Text") In the above you will see text centered at the point (2,

I was unaware until recently that partial matching was used to index data frames and lists. This is now causing a great deal of problems in my code as I sometimes index a list without knowing what elements it contains, expecting a NULL if the column does not exist. However, if partial matching is used, sometimes R will return an object I do not want. My question, is there an easy way of getting

Hello all, I just upgraded to R 2.7.0 and found that the behavior of 'var' and 'sd' have changed in the presence NAs (this wasn't explicit in the NEWS file, though I see it probably has to do with the change for cor/cov). Anyway, I just want to make sure that it was intentional to produce an error when there was all NAs and na.rm=TRUE, rather than returning an NA (like R

Hello, I'm trying to convert times in the EST/EDT (New York) format to times in the GMT/BST (London) and UTC+9 format (Tokyo). That is, if I know what time it is in New York, what is local time in London and Tokyo? Ex: Here's the conversion from New York EST/EDT time to London's GMT/BST time zone for three days in 2007. Note that the US and London change to daylight savings on

Hello all, I had some trouble recently with write.csv because I couldn't change one of the default options. A quick view of the code showed that the function was not defined in the most optimal way. Currently, write.csv <- function (..., col.names = NA, sep = ",", qmethod = "double") write.table(..., col.names = NA, sep = ",", qmethod = "double")

I'm trying to build a recursive set of functions that take a set of arguments, change some of the arguments and recursively call the same (or different) function. For example here's a stupid recursive counting function that prints back all integers from x to 0 (and ignores arguments y and z) cnt <- function(x, y, z) { stopifnot(is.numeric(x)) print (x) recursionFUN <-

R-Help, I discovered a "mis-feature" is ghostscript, which is used by the bitmap function. It seems that specifying file names in the form "~/abc.png" rather than "/home/directory/abc.png" causes my GS to crash when I open the bitmap device on my Linux box. The easiest solution would seem to be to intercept any file names in the form "~/abc.png" and replace

I came across the below mis-feature/bug using match with POSIXlt objects (from strptime) in R 2.11.1 (though this appears to be an old issue). > x <- as.POSIXlt(Sys.Date()) > table <- as.POSIXlt(Sys.Date()+0:5) > length(x) [1] 1 > x %in% table # I expect TRUE [1] FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE > match(x, table) # I expect 1 [1] NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA

Greetings, I'm having some difficulties with evaluating very long expressions (Windows/Linux 2.0.1), as seen below, and would greatly appreciate any help, thoughts or work arounds. Let's say that I wanted to see what I would get if I added 1 to itself 498 times. One way of doing this would be to evaluate the expression 1+1+1+... > eval(parse(text = paste(rep(1, 498), collapse =

There seems to be a bug in seq.Date such that it will not allow the user to pass in length.out =3D NULL, despite the fact that this is the = default argument. For example: > dt1 <- as.Date("2004-12-31") > dt2 <- as.Date("2005-12-31") > seq.Date(dt1, dt2, length.out =3D NULL, by =3D "month") Error in seq.Date(dt1, dt2, length.out =3D NULL, by =3D
