Dear all, I'd like tweaking the ... arguments that one user can pass in my function for fitting a model. More precisely, my objective function is (really) problematic to optimize using the "optim" function. Consequently, I'd like to add in the "control" argument of the latter function a "ndeps = rep(something, #par)" and/or "parscale =

Hi every one. I have a exponential function (3 fitting parameters) that I would like to use to produce data (6 series) without having to use a loop. Here wl = seq(300,500,1) k1 = c(1.2e-6, 4.9e-6, 9.6e-6, 2.7e-10, 6.7e-8, 7.44e-6) k2 = c(726, 352, 128, 5232, 1538, 128) k3 = c(-176, -224, -257, 88.7, -111, -256) stations = c('R5d', 'R5a', 'R9', '108',

Dear r-list folks, I have a problem which has been bugging me for a while now and I was hoping someone out there might be able to help. If I have a user-defined function with an indeterminate number of arguments, using the well-known "..." construct, how can I get the function to return the names of the items which were the arguments of the function as part of the function's

Hi to all I did not found the right hints for functions with the dot-dot-dot argument. Is it possible to write own functions with the tree dots and if yes what's wrong with the following example? test <- function(x, ...) { print (x) if (exists("y"))print(y) if (exists("z"))print(z) } test(4,y=2) With regards Carmen

This is was something like a request for your comments, thoughts on the topic... Many of you will know that the "..." (aka \dots) argument is very useful for passing ``further graphical parameters'', but can be a pain when itself is passed to too many plotting functions inside your own function. An artificial example being myplot <- function(x,y, ...) { plot(0:1, 0:1,

I'm trying to write some functions to deal with empty actual arguments that are picked up by '...' formals. Such actual arguments are common (and very useful) in calls to subsetting functions, e.g., x[1:2,]. It seems that R and S-PLUS treat these arguments differently: in S-PLUS list(...) will return a list containing just the non-empty arguments, whereas in R list(...) stops

Hi, I am trying to create a BioMoby client in R using SSOAP. BioMoby is a normal SOAP web service, with request and response messages wrapped in BioMoby XML dialect. Since the particular WSDL I am having problems with is autogenerated and used similarly by *many* services, it would be quite important to a) fix SSOAP or b) fix the WSDL generator. I am a bit lost how to continue debugging

I am trying to create a frequency distribution and I am a bit confused. Here are the commands I have entered: > data <- read.csv(file="40609_sortedfinal.csv",head=TRUE,sep=",") > NumberOfActionsByStatus = data$STATUS > NumberOfActionsByUser = data$ETS_LOGIN > NumberOfBidOffer = data$BID_OFFER > NumberOfActionsByUser.freq = table(NumberOfActionsByUser) >
