Dear R-developers, the following may seem a weird question for R-devel – I try anyway, because it does seem to be related to usage of R and R's way of interacting with the hardware. When running R (2.4.0) on my new dual core Windows XP system (Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, Mainboard ASUS P5B, BeQuiet Power Unit), I observe various types of sounds (not related to fans) when running at full

Dear helpeRs, on my new machine - Windows 7 64Bit, R 2.15-2, I can no longer source files for which the path contains the o-Umlaut (?). As a historical burden, my username is Gr?mping and contains that Umlaut (I wouldn't have chosen it now, but decided to keep it for easy transfer). I have had the difficulty that I couldn't use the R CMD tools on files with Umlauts in the path (and

Dear expeRts, I am trying to wrap up a package "utilities" (for my internal use). After adding a function datNAtreat that uses mapply, R CMD check gives WARNINGs for "S3 generic/method consistency", "checking replacement functions" and?"checking foreign function calls", all of which are accompanied by the following error message: Error in .try_quietly

Dear R experts, I have defined a class "myclass" and would like the slots to be extractable not only by "@" but also by "$". I now try to write a method for "$" that simply executes the request object at slotname, whenever someone calls object$slotname for any object of class "myclass". I don't manage to find out how I can provide this

Dear R-help crowd, is it possible to specify a time delay for plotting the points in a curve? I would like to make the plotting process slow enough to show the development of the graph, and therefore I am looking either for the possibility within the plot function to specify a plotting speed or (if that doesn't exist) for a function like "pause" or "wait" that allows

Hello, I would like to know what it means, when the hier.part's output has a data frame of a negative independent contribution for variables (?IJ) and how this can be caused. Thank you very much. Yours sincerely M. Heuner

Dear developeRs, with R 2.4.1 (and also 2.4.0), the function str() fails on objects of class relimplmbooteval, if there are unused slots, which is very often the case. I am not sure whether this is a bug in str() or a correct behavior of str() that unmasks some sloppiness in my usage of S4 classes (that I am not aware of)? Reproducible example (package relaimpo needed): The program

Dear all, I just noticed that the 0.9 update for FrF2 did not work out for Mac OS due to an error in an example that ran without error on all other platforms. I do not find any reason for this. In the past, umlauts or tab characters have sometimes been an issue, but I didn't find any of these. The function definition is FrF2(nruns = NULL, nfactors = NULL, factor.names = if

Dear R-helpers, I am puzzled by the following observation: On my home dual core Windows desktop computer, I am used to running two R sessions in parallel. These do very well in using the full CPU of the computer (half each) and don't seem to slow each other down. Today I have started some large computation effort in one of our university labs, and I intended to go for two R sessions per

Dear helpeRs, on my Windows 7 laptop, I have problems getting R CMD check to work. I believe it did work completely before, but I am not sure. Yesterday it almost worked, except for the tests: These were aborted because of a complaint that the temporary directory wasn't available. I played with windows environment variables for the temporary directory, but that didn't solve it.

Dear developeRs, I appreciate that boxplot now labels the axes with variable names per default. However, with argument "horizontal=TRUE" (which I always use), the default axis labels are mixed up, as can e.g. be seen with require(boot) boxplot(time ~ poison, poisons, horizontal=TRUE) The correct labels would be obtained by boxplot(time ~ poison, poisons, horizontal=TRUE,

Dear R-developers, I'm experiencing a problem with having an example run under R 2.6.1 RC (downloaded and installed today, r43513), which does not occur on R 2.6.0: The new version of package relaimpo does list package survey under "Depends", and an example directly (i.e. not only from within a function of relaimpo) uses function svydesign from package survey. Package survey is

Dear developeRs, I just discovered the function plot.design in package graphics that acts as a method for class design - the second time I come across a class design outside my own packages. (The first time was in package conf.design, where Bill Venables encouraged me to ignore it because he does not really use it.) Where can I find out more about the nature of the class design for which

Dear UseRs, I just learnt that the number of columns of a data frame is not always what I thought it to be, and I wonder where I should have learnt about this. Consider the following example: dat <- data.frame(X1=1:10, X2=LETTERS[1:10]) ncol(dat) ## evaluates to 2 (of course) dat$X1poly <- poly(dat$X1,3) dat ## five columns displayed ncol(dat) ##

Dear developeRs, I encounter the following problem: in the current version of my package FrF2, certain calls to a functioni do not work when package combinat is loaded, because function combn from combinat masks the function from utils that my package uses. I tried to solve this issue by importing function combn into the namespace of FrF2; I don't need to export it, I just want to use it

Full_Name: Ulrike Groemping Version: 2.9.0 (and older) OS: Windows Submission from: (NULL) (84.190.173.190) When using an older version of R, packages are not found although they are available for newer versions of R and do work when installed with the old version. For example, installing DoE.base on R 2.8.1 installs version 0.2, while CRAN is at version 0.4-1 currently. It would be nice if the

Dear DevelopeRs, the issue I am stuck with (I am on Windows, R-2.11): My Miktex (version 2.8) does not work with R CMD check, although Miktex on its own can pdflatex the tex-file in the Rcheck directory. (This issue has been going on for a while, and now, after having updated to R-2.11, I finally want to get it fixed.) Although I have found several similar posts, none of the answers appears

Dear all, I am working on a function formula.design that should automatically generate reasonable lm formulae for a number of different designs. All works well as long as all variables used are columns of the design data frame. For one function, I would like to incorporate a dummy variable for center points that is not a column of the design. Without this function, it would work like this (at

Dear all, I got stuck with a weird behavior of pretty: pretty(c(-1,1),n=1) yields -2, 0, 2 instead of the desired result -1 1. Likewise, pretty(c(-2,2),n=1) yields -5, 0, 5 instead of the desired result -2 2. With n=0, the result is the same, while with n=2 everything is as documented. This behavior nastily messed up some of my cube plots. Is there any chance that this can be fixed?
