similar to: seq unexpected behavior

Hi All, I recently encountered results that I did not expect, exhibited by the following code snippet: test <- function() { minX <- 4.2 min0 <- 4.1 sigmaG <- 0.1 Diff <- minX-min0 print(c(Diff=Diff,sigmaG=sigmaG)) cat("is Diff > sigmaG?:", Diff > sigmaG,"\n") cat("is (4.2 - 4.1) > 0.1?:",(4.2 - 4.1) >

When I run some large optimizations in R under Windows it puts a heavy load on the CPU, which makes other applications that run at the same time very slow. Is it possible to instruct R to be less aggressive in its use of computer resources, so I can use my computer for other purposes while running R (probably considerably slower) in the background?

Hello, I am having problems installing RSQLite under FC8. The error message seems to indicate Rversion.h and Rconfig.h are missing. To illustrate the problem, I have copied below the output shown when I first install R (binary distribution) and then try to install RSQLite. Because the problem does not occur when installing RSQLite with R under Windows I suspect the problem is perhaps due to my

I'd be curious to know what others think of Rich's patch. If it is acceptable, I can spend time that I was going to look at it this week on another bug. -----Original Message----- From: Rich Calaway Sent: Friday, June 23, 2017 6:34 PM To: Nathan Sosnovske <nsosnov at microsoft.com>; Duncan Murdoch <murdoch.duncan at gmail.com>; Andrie de Vries <apdevries at gmail.com>

Dear helpers, I'm trying out the embedFonts() to embed fonts into my pdf files. However, when I inspect the new pdf with a program designed to look for embedded fonts, I see that the fonts have in fact not been embedded. Below are my calls.

I rebuilt R with export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 and the test still fail. Surprisingly, when I run R from the bin directory and execute the test code, it runs without error: > oloc <- Sys.getlocale("LC_CTYPE") > mbyte.lc <- { + if(.Platform$OS.type == "windows") + "English_United States.28605" + else if(grepl("[.]UTF-8$", oloc,

Arrrrr, I think I've found a bug in the behavior of the stats::cor function when NAs are present, but in case I'm missing something, could you look over this example and let me know what you think: > a = c(1,3,NA,1,2) > b = c(1,2,1,1,4) > cor(a,b,method="spearman", use="complete.obs") [1] 0.8164966 > cor(a,b,method="spearman",

Hello, I came across a strange behavior of expand.grid (or at least strange to me). For certain values of one of my input variables - created by seq() - I have to use strings (e.g ==".6") to select a row of the object created by expand.grid(), for other values numerical (e.g. ==.8) and for some both work. Please find an example below. #Example x<- seq(0,1,1/10) y <-

Hello, I'm trying to create birth centile charts from about 90000 birth weights using the package lmsqreg. As this is not a CRAN package I have problems finding any examples, which explain how to estimate the LMS parameters needed for the equivalent degrees of freedom. (I only have some basic understanding of statistics, I roughly understand the formulas, but then I don't know how to

Dear all, given two numeric vectors x and y, the ACF(x) at lag k is cor(x(t),x(t+k)) while the CCF(x,y) at lag k is cor(x(t),y(t-k)). See below for a simple example. > set.seed(1) > x <- rnorm(10) > y <- rnorm(10) > x [1] -0.6264538 0.1836433 -0.8356286 1.5952808 0.3295078 -0.8204684 0.4874291 0.7383247 0.5757814 -0.3053884 > y [1] 1.51178117 0.38984324

Hi R-list, I'll apologize in advance for (1) the wordiness of my note (not sure how to avoid it) and (2) any deficiencies on my part that lead to my difficulties. I have an application with several stages that is meant to simulate and explore different scenarios with respect to product sales (in units sold per month). My session info is at the bottom of this note. The steps include (1) an

Hi Duncan, I'm guessing I'll be able to look at this over the weekend/next week (probably closer to next week). It is on my list of things to do and I've just had a few other prior commitments that I have to finish first. Sorry for the delay. I'll chime in with a status update next week.

Dear R-help, I am attempting to plot data using standard R plot utilities. The data was retrieved from FRED (St. Louis Federal Reserve) using the package quantmod. My question is NOT about quantmod. While I retrieve data using quantmod, I am not using its charting utility. I have been having success using the standard R "plot" utilities to this point with this type of data.

Dear all, the number of significant digits in summary default is digits = max(3, getOption("digits") - 3) on my platform this results to be 4. The point is that if you have, say, integer data of magnitude greater than 10^3 the command summary will produce heavily rounded results. A simple example follow: > x <- c(123456,234567,345678) > x [1] 123456 234567 345678 >

On RedHat Enterprise Linux 6, the test below fails (this is using the stock GCC 4.4.7) from R-devel r72707. LC_CTYPE is unset when I run it, but LANG=en_US.UTF-8 It also failed "yesterday" where as far as I recall the test code looked a bit different.
