I met today a computer crash and our maintenance officer had to reinstall some components of the OS (MS Windows XP Pro) as well as the Internet browser (among other things). Now, I cannot install packages from a distant repository: > utils:::menuInstallPkgs() Error in .readRDS(pfile) : unknown input format > traceback() 5: .readRDS(pfile) 4: .packages(all.available = TRUE) 3:

Dear all, I just installed R 2.5.0alpha and noticed new warnings related to the extractor "$" when using contributed packages.

Dear all, I've just downloaded R.12.0 from CRAN (http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/release.htm). I am unable to find RGUI.exe as well as Rterm.exe. Conversely to what is explained in readme.R.2.12.0: There are two versions of the R executable in R-2.12.0\bin\i386 (32-bit) or R-2.12.0\bin\x64 (64-bit). I can't find directories i386 or x64 in R-2.12.0\bin -- Renaud Lancelot EDEN

thanks a lot Renaud. but i was interested in Finney's fiducial confidence intervals of LD50 so to obtain comparable results with SPSS. But your reply leads me to the next question: does anybody know what is the best method (asymptotic, bootstrap etc.) for calculating confidence intervals of LD50? i could "get rid" of Finney's fiducial confidence intervals but

Dear all, I have computed a digital terrain model from a set of points (x, y, z) using the function interp() in package akima. I want to predict flooded surfaces given target values of z. I can display the flooded surfaces with contour() or image(), but I don't know how to get the polygons delimiting the surfaces. Did anyone write a function for this purpose ? Best regards, Renaud --

Dear all, I'd like to draw a color key beside a graph drawn with xyplot (lattice library). I am aware of the draw.colorkey function (grid library) but don't know how to handle it.

Dear R-Helpers, Is there a way to draw shaded (filled) polygons in panel graphs produced by xyplot ? I made different trials (see below) with polygon() and grid.polygon() but polygons are not drawn (probably for the same reason that prevents the use of lines, points, etc. in xyplot panels).

Dear all, 1. How can I compute the intersecting area between 2 polygons ? 2. I have polygons with coordinates in decimal degrees (i.e. 13 deg 30 min = 13.5 decimal degrees). I want to compute their area and get the results in square meters or square kiometers. Can anyone give me a conversion coefficient or a pointer where I can find this information (sorry for this off topic question) ? Thanks
