I'm currently working on writing up some documentation for some of my code, but am having the darndest time coding in equations. For example, the equation in the following: \details{ Calculated the R Squared for observed endogenous variables in a structural equation model, as well as several other useful summary statistics about the error in thoe variables. R Squared values are

The document R-exts contains the following example of using mathematics in R documentation. \deqn{p(x) = {\lambda^x\ \frac{e^{-\lambda}}{x!}} {p(x) = lambda^x exp(-lambda)/x!} There is a syntax error in there, but that's not my point. The problem is that using "R CMD Rd2dvi" I find that putting the alternate forms of the equation on top of each other doesn't work.

CRAN et al., I would like to add an extented introduction or other arbitrary sections to my package lmomco. I have been shipping inst/doc/Introduction.Rd. I would like to have this content inserted to the front of the PDF build for the CRAN. The R-exts.pdf seems to be a little silent on this subject? For my purposes, I have been doing this R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf

Hi, This is a problem about writing R documentation (R-exts 2.6). The command "\deqn" defined in "Rd.sty" is: \newcommand{\deqn}[2]{\[#1\]} which will put mathematical formulae in the "displaymath" environment; that means line breaks are not allowed (or will not be shown) in formulae, but sometimes we do need multiple lines of formulae. One solution is to write

Dear list, I got an automatic email complaining than some of my packages didn't pass 'R CMD check' for R-2.10.0 alpha anymore. Both of them make use of the "cases" LaTeX environment. Inspecting the log outputs I got: LaTeX errors when creating PDF version. This typically indicates Rd problems. LaTeX errors found: ! Misplaced alignment tab

Hi, I run into a problem with "R CMD Rd2dvi" command: it gives me "File `Rd.sty' not found" error (See the output message on the bottom). I get the same error when running "RCMD check". My system is: Windows 2000, R version 2.0.1, MiKTeX version 2.4. I do have a Rd.sty file in R_HOME/share/texm directory. I looked through newsgroups for any related discussions

Hi All, I am reading through section 2.6 (Mathematics) of the "Writing R Extensions" manuscript and am wondering where I can find more examples/documentation on the \deqn{ } function. I would like to learn how to display equations using this function but am not sure how to go about doing it. The one example provided in section 2.6 doesn't give me much of a sense on how to do this.

Is there any way of getting just the LaTex output which R CMD Rd2dvi generates on the way to produces a .dvi file, which could then be incoorporated into another document?

I am trying to compose some documentation for a package I hope to release soon. However when I do the following: R CMD Rd2dvi --pdf mypackage.Rd I get two mainly blank pages prepended to the top of the document - the only text on either (at the top of the first page) is as follows: hyperindex,colorlinks,pagebackref,linktocpage,plainpages=false,linkcolor=Blue

Hi, When writing formulae in Rd files I use \leq to get a less-than-or-equal-to sign, as this is what the LaTeX references I consulted suggested. This works correctly for the PDF output (Rcmd Rd2dvi.sh --pdf), however when the Rd file is converted to text or html this command is converted to "<=q". A workaround is to use \le instead of \leq which works with my LaTeX distribution

Hi I'm having difficulty following the advice in section 2.7 of R-exts. In one of my packages, there is a function called mobius(). I want to refer to it in the Rd file as the M??bius function, and to illustrate the M??bius inversion formula (just to be explicit: this is "Mobius" but with two dots over the second letter). R-exts section 2.7 gives \enc{J??reskog}{Joreskog}

First of all, thanks to those who've set up R to work so smoothly with Miktex-- even a total Latex bunny like me got it to work instantly, so that for the first time I'm able to run my Rd files through the Latex side of RCMD CHECK. Now the question/buglet. One of my Rd files contains the following: \code{mlazy( <<objname1>>, <<objname2>>, <<etc>>)}

Dear R-developers, I am trying to make use of my own defined macros in Rd-files in order I could simply type, say, \Splus, to get a font similar to \R in help files. So I put the corresponding entry in Rd.cfg which now contains the line: \newcommand{\Splus}{{\normalfont\textsf{Splus}}} similar to the way \R defined in Rd.sty. So now so good: R CMD Rd2dvi generates a dvi-file with a proper font.

Hello everybody I'm am trying to build a pdf out of the Rd files that i wrote for a package, so that I can attach it to my thesis. if i Run Rd2pdf (or Rd2dvi) I get this error massage: Hmm ... looks like a package Converting Rd files to LaTeX . Creating pdf output from LaTeX ... Error in texi2dvi("Rd2.tex", pdf = (out_ext == "pdf"), quiet = FALSE, : Running

I am porting some FORTRAN to R in which an Inf triggers an if(). The trigger is infinite on exp(lgamma(OVER)). What is the canonical R style of determining OVER when exp(OVER)== Inf? The code structure that I am porting is best left intact--so I need to query R somehow to the value of OVER that causes exp(lgamma(OVER)) to equal Inf. On my system, exp(lgamma(171)) is about first to equal Inf.

If I execute R CMD Rd2dvi foo.Rd I get messages of the form: Converting Rd files to LaTeX ... foo.Rd Creating dvi output from LaTeX ... Saving output to 'foo.dvi' ... cp: .Rd2dvi4366/Rd2.dvi: No such file or directory Done xdvi-xaw: Fatal error: foo.dvi: No such file. Indeed if I add the --no-clean flag and then cd to the .Rd2dvi<whatever> directory, I find that there is no

The patch below fixes the NChisquare documentation problem that I've been mentioning for some time now. NOTE: There is one DEQN where the LaTeX part contains real LaTeX code, because I did not see how to get a sum sign (and a roman math font) otherwise. Seems to work, though ...

I'd like to make MikTeX the default TeX package in 2.2.0, but we still need to let people use other packages. The problem is that MikTeX wants a command line option --include-directory $R_HOME/share/texmf, while other packages specify includes via environment variables, and barf when they see the unexpected option. The choice should be controlled by the user's settings in the MkRules
