Recently I was trying to cite a package where the authors have ? and ? in their names. I found that on Windows the citation() function did not return the authors' names at all, but on Linux there was no problem (sessionInfos at the bottom): On Windows, no author names are returned: #--------------- > citation("readr") To cite package ?readr? in publications use: (2017).

Does anyone know if there are any reseller for the book "VoIP Telephony with Asterisk" in Hong Kong/Asia region? I'm interested in purchasing the book but the shipping charge to Hong Kong is expensive. Thanks. Joseph -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Dear all, I have a question regarding the odfweave. I created an odt file (test_input.odt) using OO.o for WIndows XP. The code is generic. ---- Code for odt ----------- \Sexpr{dim(iris)[1]} <<listofSpecies, echo=FALSE, results=xml>>= odfItemize(levels(iris$Species)) @ Table 1: <<Table, echo=FALSE, results=xml>>= data.frame(N =tapply(iris$Petal.Length, iris$Species,

Hi Duncan, Thanks for your reply. Yes, it does seem to be specific to the CTYPE setting to Chinese on Windows. If I set it to English using Sys.setlocale() there is no problem, then back to Chinese and the authors disappear: Sys.setlocale("LC_ALL","English") citation("readr") #' To cite package ?readr? in publications use: #' #' Hadley Wickham, Jim

XML is a good tool reading data from web within R.

Hello, A post to R-Help by Oliver Soong reports what seems to be a bug specific to Windows (I'm on Windows 7).

Hi Tomas, Sorry for the delayed response. I have tested the problem on the latest R-devel build (2018-04-27 r74651), and it still exists. RGui is always fine with Chinese characters, but some IDEs rely on the CLI version of R (e.g. Visual Studio Code with R plugin). >Your example print("ABC\u4f60\u597dDEF") is printing two Chinese characters, right? Yes. U+4F60, U+597D or C4E3,

Dear All, I encounted in a problem with as.POSIXct() function. > as.POSIXct("2009/03/26 01:00:00 AM" , format="%Y/%m/%d %I:%M:%S %p") [1] NA > as.POSIXct("2009/03/26 02:00:00 PM" , format="%Y/%m/%d %I:%M:%S %p") [1] NA I have tried this in the R version 2.11.1, R version 2.10.1 and R version 2.9.2 .

To whom it may concern: The help page for ?legend refers to a `title.cex` parameter, which suggests that the function has such a parameter. As far as I can tell, though, it doesn't; here's an example: > plot(1,1) > legend("topright",pch=1, legend="something", title="my legend", title.cex=2) Error in legend("topright", pch = 1, legend =

Hello All I am trying to get the JRI examples from rJava to work on Windows XP and failing. (And as a more general and connected question is there any review/summary of front-end software for R?) I have installed rJava from the Windows binary supplied. I compile and run the example supplied (rtest.java) and get the results below. I do not think the notes about a deprecated API are a problem. But

Hi Duncan, I'm guessing I'll be able to look at this over the weekend/next week (probably closer to next week). It is on my list of things to do and I've just had a few other prior commitments that I have to finish first. Sorry for the delay. I'll chime in with a status update next week.

Airon, I used R2.4.0 on a Windows XP (SP2) (not Chinese :-)) and it still works: > data = read.csv("u:/airon.csv") > xdata = data$Adj..Close > modwt.la8 = modwt(xdata, "la8", n.level=6) > summary(modwt.la8) Length Class Mode d1 1467 -none- numeric d2 1467 -none- numeric d3 1467 -none- numeric d4 1467 -none- numeric d5 1467 -none- numeric d6 1467

It turns out that when I use GUI (file-change dir) to set the working directory, R will crash. If I use setwd() instead, the example runs well.

Diverted from ESS-help.
