Dear R People: I have used ./R --no-save -q -f e.in >stuff.out with great success on SUSE10.1 with R-2.7.1. My question is, please: is there a way to pass in a variable to the e.in file? I'm fairly sure that the answer is no, but thought I'd double check. Thanks in advance, Sincerely, Erin -- Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences

Dear R People: I'm having some trouble with mpiexec and Rmpi.

Hi, If you are using roxygen-style function documentation then why not use devtools::document()?

Dear R People: If I use the fix or edit function for a new data frame, I would like to have my character data as factors. Is there a "built in" way to do this, please? Here is what I did: > test2.df <- data.frame() > test2.df <- fix(test2.df,factor.mode="character") > str(test2.df) 'data.frame': 5 obs. of 2 variables: $ var1: num 1 2 3 4 5 $

Hello everyone! I'm in the process of writing a package, and I'm using the lovely "R Package" book as a guideline. However, in the midst of my work, I discovered that I had omitted a function and am now putting in it the package. Not a problem. But the problem is the help file. What is the best way to generate a help file "after the fact" like that, please? Thank

Hello I would like to build R from source and use the PGI compiler, rather than the GCC compiler. I saw the instructions for the Intel compiler in the R Installation Manual, but I didn't see the PGI. I tried a few times without instructions, but without success. Any suggestions would be most welcome. Also, I hope this is the right group for the question. Sincerely, Erin -- Erin

Dear R People: I have generated the following table: > table(zza$DEATH,zza$GENDER) F M 2009-04-21 0 1 2009-04-22 4 2 2009-04-24 6 0 2009-04-25 1 3 2009-04-26 2 0 2009-04-28 3 0 2009-04-29 2 2 However, instead of total counts in the F and M columns, I would like percents. How would I do this, please? thanks, Erin -- Erin

Dear R People: When I want to produce a small sample confidence interval using t.test, I get the following: > t.test(buzz$var1, conf.level=.98)$conf.int [1] 2.239337 4.260663 attr(,"conf.level") [1] 0.98 How do I keep the attr statement from printing, please?

Dear R People: Is it possible to run R on an iPad, please? For some reason, I'm thinking that you can't have Fortran, C, etc., so you can't do it. But I thought I would check anyway.

Dear R People: I have a data frame, xm1, which has 12 rows and 4 columns. If I put is xm1[,-4], I get all rows, and columns 1 - 3, which is as it should be. Now, is there a way to use the names of the columns to omit them, please? Thanks so much in advance!

r-package-devel is probably a better place to post this, especially if you do not get a satisfactory reply here. This list is about R programming, as you presumably know; your query is not.

Hello R People: Is there a way to determine if a function exists in a particular package, please? I looked at exists and objects, but they seem to refer to an environment rather than a package. I was thinking of something like: ifelse(exists(functiona) in MASS, print(1:10), print(5)) Thanks, Erin -- Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences

Dear R People: Here is something that I am sure is very simple. I'm just trying to re-create the C convolution example in the Extensions manual. Here is the subroutine: void convolve(double *a, int *na, double *b, int *nb, double *ab) { R_len_t i, j, nab = *na + *nb - 1; for(i = 0; i < nab; i++) ab[i] = 0.0; for(i = 0; i < *na; i++) for(j = 0; j < *nb; j++) ab[i + j] += a[i] *
