Hi Dave. I'll try to offer some feedback from a fellow non-stats guy working in a business setting. I've not directly transitioned from S+ to R, but I've previously hit roadblocks with SAS and SPSS that compelled me to investigate the S/R languages. I think that as you read messages on this list, you'll find that most users don't implement R as a back end to a chain of

We've been working on making it easier to write packages that work in both R and Splus. One issue is that R and Splus use different internal representations of integers and this makes a difference on their 64-bit versions: R uses ints (32 bits on 32-bit and 64-bit versions of R) and Splus uses longs (32 bits on 32-bit Splus and 64 bits on 64-bit Splus). The obvious ways to deal with the

The source of the incompatibility: In S-PLUS 6.2: > methods("unique") splus splus menu splus "unique.data.frame" "unique.default" "unique.name" "unique.rowcol.names" In R-1.9.1: > methods("unique") [1] unique.array unique.data.frame unique.default unique.matrix

Hello, I learnt there's an advanced R/Splus course in Boston this january. Anyone got the announcement? please kindly forward it to me. Best, Eugene

Hi, I have an R script (transferred from SPLUS) and would like to compile a standalone EXE (or DLL) for WINNT. Would somebody know how this works or how it could be done ?

Hi all, Thanks for the wonderful forum with all the valuable help and comments here. I have been a splus user for the past 7 to 8 years and now crossing the mind of changing over to R. Have been doing a lot of reading and one of the main reasons is being an open source and the wonderful things that comes with that. My question is though, is it possible to export any of the function or librarys

Hi all, I have Splus and R both on my unix machine. I intend to keep only one of them. R looks to be a better choice. But I want to confirm. Is there any function or group of functions in Splus that are absent in R?

Hello Everyone,   I’m a SAS user who has recently become interested in sequential clinical trials designs. I’ve discovered that the SAS based approaches for these designs are either too costly or are “experimental.” So now I’m looking for alternative software. Two programs that seem promising are SPLUS Seqtrial and R.   I recently obtained a 30 day trial for the SPLUS Seqtrial add-on and have

Hello there, I spent all day yesterday trying to get a small data set from Splus into R, no luck! Both, Splus and R, are run on a 64-bit RedHat Linux machine, the versions of the softwares are 64-bit and are as what follows: Splus: TIBCO Software Inc. Confidential Information Copyright (c) 1988-2008 TIBCO Software Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. TIBCO Spotfire S+ Version 8.1.1 for Linux 2.6.9-34.EL,

Good afternoon, Hope you all have a wonderful day. I am glad to be here. Hope you could help me with the following errors that i have been trying to figure it all out since last week. I am using Splus from Insightful, and as i read, R and Splus are very similar. So hope you could help me. I have been continously received these error messages after i ran my small program for couple of

list.files() (and dir()) don't appear to return names of directories when one uses the recursive=T argument. E.g., > dir(file.path(R.home(),"library"), pattern="^R$", recursive=T) [1] "Malmig/help/R" but the unix find commmand finds lots of R directories > z <- system(paste("find", file.path(R.home(),"library"), "-name

A few days ago, I sent a question to the r-help list enquiring about the *** LEGALITY *** of porting a function from Splus into R. As a particular example, I referred to error.bar. Several people posted code for various versions of error.bar which they had written, but that was NOT WHAT I WAS ASKING FOR/ABOUT!!! [Can't anybody ***read*** these days?] I asked: IS IT

I've recently installed R for RH5.0 Linux and been considering moving existing work from Splus (Windows, 4.5). Also installed the win95 R, but this doesn't seem to work as well, and in any case the idea is to move toward Linux. 1 I attach and detach directories freely and often in Splus. Is it anticipated that it will be possible to do this in R in the future? 2 The ascii representation

Dear R developpers, I am a user of Splus since many years and I have developped lots of functions to plot graph of data and model results of irregular or regular times series. In Splus regular times series are created using the rts function and irregular time series using the its functions. In both cases, times is given as a numeric vector. There is no problem in plotting a regular and an

You need to tell us what compare() in S-PLUS does; i.e., what does it take as input and what does it output. Presumably the information would be in the help page for compare(). Telling us what the function looks like in S-PLUS is of no use, since most likely the code cannot be used in R without violating S-PLUS copyright and/or license. Even if that wasn't an obstacle, the fact that it

supsmu(periodic=TRUE) can crash R by reading before start of array. To reproduce: set.seed(1) xx <- runif(29000) yy <- rnorm(29000) span <- 0.49 i <- 1 while(i < 200){ cat(i,"\n") int <- supsmu(xx,yy,periodic=T,span=span) i <-i+1 } results in: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Program received signal SIGSEGV,

Hello, I am looking for an explanation and/or fix for a discrepancy in the behaviour of the R lm.influence() function [ version R 1.5.0 (2002-04-29) ] and the same function in Splus [ Splus version 5.1 release 1, running on SGI IRIX 6.2]. The discrepancy is of concern because I am migrating some Splus scripts to R and need to ensure consistency of results. Specifically, when I fit a glm()

Hi all I have a couple of obscure questions for R/Splus experts (which unfortunately isn't me!) I am trying to compute Bayes Factors using some Splus code of Raftery in Gilks et al (1996). Only problem is 1) R doesn't seem to have a robust covariance (cov.mve) which I suspect I need rather than a non-robust classical estimate 2) Splus has cov.mve BUT dgamma in Splus doesn't have a
