Hi, I read about the by() function, but it does not seem to do the job I need. Here is the problem: Say - I have a data frame, with three columns. The first one contains strings that describe the data points, with repeats (for example, days of a week). The other two contain numbers. Something like that: Day val1 val2 Tue 1 2 Tue 2 8 Tue 3 5 Wed 1 2 Wed 1 8 etc. Now I would

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone here as successfully converted a package for windows to one that will work in Linux? What are the necessary steps if you have the source code? Thanks, Josh

Hello everybody, for serveral hours we had "Had Sum mismatch" errors for the following packages from the mirror of U of M?nster -- r-project works fine as a temp. fallback: r-cran-cluster 2.0.6-2~stretchcran.0 r-cran-foreign 0.8.69-1~stretchcran.0 r-cran-kernsmooth 2.23-15-3~stretchcran.0 r-cran-class 7.3-14-2~stretchcran.0 r-cran-nnet 7.3-12-2~stretchcran.0 r-cran-spatial

Dear list, I'm using the windows version of R. When plotting a curve or a line for time series with annual data , e. g. GDP growth 1991-2003, the line seems to exist of a lot of smaller lines. Printing the results the curves and lines seems to be "unclean" (because of using small resolution bitmaps?). Comparing the result of R with the same results of Excel the lines in excel seems

Hi all, A couple of people are trying to convince me to come to FOSDEM in Belgium at the end of February. I''m a bit hesitant because I''ve been doing so much travel, but LinuxConf.au was a great experience and seems to have really helped get exposure to Puppet. There seems to be a pretty strong European contingent of Puppet users, and it''d be great to meet

Thanks for the tip using a smoothing technique before plotiing in order to get a curve instead of a line connecting the observations. But that's not the solution for my main problem with the "unclean" line plot. In order to show my problem let's take this simple example: > xval <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) > yval <- c(10, 30, 40, 50, 70, 90, 100, 110) > plot

When running a = runif(10) class(a) = "foo" Math.foo = function(x, ...) { NextMethod(.Generic) } signif(a, 3) cumsum(a) I don't understand why cumsum strips the class, but signif does not. Both claim in the documentation that "These are generic functions: methods can be defined for them individually or via the ?Math? group generic." -- Edzer Pebesma Institute for

Hi all, The call parallel::makeCluster(1L) hangs infinitely on my MacOS machine which seems to be already reported by some people (e.g., https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2018-February/075565.html). However, the solutions posted on SO, GH or R-devel do not work in my case. So far, I unsuccessfully tested ? 1. Couple of reboots 2. Adding 192.0.0.1 to /etc/hosts 3. Using R.app

List, In order to get rid of some old, unreadable S3 code in package sp, I'm trying to rewrite things using S4 methods. Somewhere I fail, and I cannot sort out why. In order to isolate the problem, I created two functions, doNothing<- and dosth, and both should do nothing. The issue is that in most cases they do nothing, but in some cases dosth(obj) changes the class of obj and breaks with

Dear All, I want to plot a heat map with annotated columns. Both functions heatmap (stats) and heatmap.2 (gplots) can plot a horizontal side bar that can be used to visualize a categorical variable. In addition to a categorical variable, I would like to visualize a continuous variable. This could be done by small bars, a curve or simply numbers above the columns. (The Sample names are already

Hi, I am using a samba server for file sharing in our companies IPv4 based LAN. The samba server is running as VM on a ubuntu 14.04 qemu/kvm host using ubuntu 14.04 as OS. I am using the lastet version available for samba: 4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.3 My Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 client are able to find the server and connect to the shares but the Windows 8.1 client of a colleague is not able to

Hi Thomas, thanks for your reply (and thanks for your patience...). I am now using the following minimal reprex: > library(parallel) > cl <- makeCluster(2L) I freshly started the machine and did not open any other app. Just R.app (3.6.1). After executing the second line of code, R seems to hang infinitely and does not respond. The R process itself uses almost no CPU. Unfortunately,

Hello Mongrel Users, I''m writing a web server called Ebb. It''s written in C, makes use of the Mongrel HTTP parser, and uses libev its event loop. The goal is to be small, fast, and language independent server that can host web frameworks. I have written a small Ruby binding which provides a Rack handler - this will allow Ebb to host Rails, Merb, and other Ruby frameworks. In the

Hi List, I just updated an old sendmail installation to a modern postfix/dovecot system with mysql backend. Everything works fine but SMTP-AUTH fails with some clients. The problem is, that with PLAIN (old) clients send the base64 coded form: USERNAME\0USERNAME\0PASSWORD which, as i understand dovecot interprets as MASTERUSER\0USERNAME\PASSWORD. New clients send \0USERNAME\0PASSWORD which works

Hi! I noticed that `ssh -D /tmp/socket $myhost` will actually provide a socks server listing on the unix domain socket /tmp/socket (this does not appear to be documented, though it is semi-documented for -L and -R). Do you know of any "socksification" script to go along with it, in the spirit of tsocks of socksify (from dante)? Those do not seem to support socks servers running on
