S4 generic masking S3 generic when using namespace
Hi, I have two example packages, test1 and test2, where the only code in them is: setGeneric("predict", function(object, ...) standardGeneric("predict")) (get them from http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/~gabraham/test1.tar and http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/~gabraham/test2.tar) The difference between them is that first does not have a namespace, and loads fine. The second has a namespace

predict.prcomp: 'newdata' does not have the correct number of columns
Hi, I'm doing PCA on wide matrices and I don't understand why calling predict.prcomp on it throws an error: > x1 <- matrix(rnorm(100), 5, 20) > x2 <- matrix(rnorm(100), 5, 20) > p <- prcomp(x1) > predict(p, x2) Error in predict.prcomp(p, x2) : 'newdata' does not have the correct number of columns > dim(x2) [1] 5 20 > dim(p$rotation) [1] 20 5

Lapack error in Design:::ols
Hi, I'm trying to use Frank Harrell's Design:::ols function to do regression of y (numeric) on the interaction of two factors (x1 and x2), but Lapack throws an error: > library(Design) ... > load(url("http://www.csse.unimelb.edu.au/~gabraham/x")) > ols(y ~ x1 * x2, data=x) Error in chol2inv(fit$qr$qr) : 'size' cannot exceed nrow(x) = 20 > traceback()

ARIMA standard error
Hi, Can anyone explain how the standard error in arima() is calculated? Also, how can I extract it from the Arima object? I don't see it in there. > x <- rnorm(1000) > a <- arima(x, order = c(4, 0, 0)) > a Call: arima(x = x, order = c(4, 0, 0)) Coefficients: ar1 ar2 ar3 ar4 intercept -0.0451 0.0448 0.0139 -0.0688 0.0010 s.e.

Time series labeling with Zoo
Hi, I'm using zoo because it can automatically label the months of a time series composed of daily observations. This works well for certain time series lengths, but not for others, e.g.: While: > library(zoo) > plot(zoo(runif(10), as.Date("2005-06-01") + 0:50)) Shows up the months and day of month, > plot(zoo(runif(10), as.Date("2005-06-01") + 0:380))

survreg's algorithm
Hi, I'm using survreg() from the survival package for parametric survival regression (modelling inter-arrival times of patients to a waiting list as exponentially distributed, with various regressors such as queue size and season). Does anyone know which algorithm survreg() uses for this? Thanks, Gad -- Gad Abraham Department of Mathematics and Statistics The University of Melbourne

Dimensions of svd V matrix
Hi, I'm trying to do PCA on a n by p wide matrix (n < p), and I'd like to get more principal components than there are rows. However, svd() only returns a V matrix of with n columns (instead of p) unless the argument nv=p is set (prcomp calls svd without setting it). Moreover, the eigenvalues returned are always min(n, p) instead of p, even if nv is set: > x <-

Conflict between octave3.0-headers and r-base-dev
Hi, I'm using Ubuntu Hardy i386, and the R 2.7.1 Ubuntu packages from CRAN. The CRAN r-base-dev package depends on refblas3-dev or atlas3-base-dev, but octave3.0-headers depends on libblas-dev. The two blas packages seem to conflict, so r-base-dev and octave3.0-headers can't be installed together. Is this a known issue? Thanks, Gad $ sudo apt-get install octave3.0-headers Reading

Symmetric Matrix classes
Hi, I'd like to store large covariance matrices using Matrix classes. dsyMatrix seems like the right one, but I want to specify just the upper/lower triangle and diagonal and not have to instantiate a huge n^2 vector just for the sake of having half of it ignored: Dumb example: M <- new("dsyMatrix", uplo="U", x=rnorm(1e4), Dim=as.integer(c(100, 100))) diag(M) <- 1

Rscript segfaults with lazy loading
Hi, I have an RData file containing a GeneSetCollection object (Bioconductor), http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/~gabraham/c2.RData. I think it uses lazy loading because packages are only loaded when I access the object (see below) in the R console. When I try the same with Rscript, it segfaults. This happens on 2.9.0 both on Linux and Mac: Rscript -e 'load("c2.RData"); c2[1]' ***

Error in solvet: apparently singular matrix
Hi, Again I'm doing logistic regression using lrm from Harrell's Design package, but on wide matrices (28 observations, 1891 variables) so L2 penalisation is used. I get the following error, although I've tried different penalties and different tolerances. The X matrix is scaled and centred. > library(Design) >

Handling masked methods
Hi, Say I have two packages, test1 and test2, that both define the generic method train (identical definition), and each has a specific train method for a different S4 object (foo and bar, resp.) I want to be able to call train(foo, x, y) and train(bar, x, y), which doesn't work since test2 masks test1, as seen below. The two solutions I can think of are to a) prefix train,

Scaling in predict.prcomp
Hi, Say x.train is a matrix of covariates that I want to do PCA on, so I can do regression on its principal components, and x.test is a test set of the same covariates on which I want to evaluate the regression fit. I would like the covariates to be centred and scaled: p <- prcomp(x.train, center=TRUE, scale=TRUE) x.train.pc <- predict(p) Now I want to get the PCs from the test set.

Make natural splines constant outside boundary
Hi, I'm using natural cubic splines from splines::ns() in survival regression (regressing inter-arrival times of patients to a queue on queue size). The queue size fluctuates between 3600 and 3900. I would like to be able to run predict.survreg() for sizes <3600 and >3900 by assuming that the rate for <3600 is the same as for 3600 and that for >4000 it's the same as for

Error in Design package: dataset not found for options(datadist)
Hi, Design isn't strictly an R base package, but maybe someone can explain the following. When lrm is called within a function, it can't find the dataset dd: > library(Design) > age <- rnorm(30, 50, 10) > cholesterol <- rnorm(30, 200, 25) > ch <- cut2(cholesterol, g=5, levels.mean=TRUE) > fit <- function(ch, age) + { + d <- data.frame(ch, age) +

bootstrap: definition of original statistic
Hi, In the boot package, the original statistic is simply the statistic function evaluated on the original data (called t0). However, in Harrell et al 1996 "Multivariable prognostic models..." Stats Med vol 15, pp. 361--387, it is different (p. 372): The statistic function evaluated on the original data is called "D_app" (apparent statistic), whereas "D_orig"

Not showing dvi with Hmisc latex()
Hi, I'm using latex() from Frank Harrell's Hmisc library to produce LaTeX files. By default, it calls xdvi and displays the dvi. How can I make xdvi not show? I couldn't find a clue in the extensive documentation.
