similar to: How do I get my IT department to "bless" R?

Hi, I have set up two monitors. I am using windows XP. I would like to keep one window- command line in one monitor and the script and graphs in the second monitor. How do I set it up? It works for word documents simply by dragging the document. It does not work if I drag and drop the scripts window. Is R not compatible for this? Thanks.

Start the REvolution without me... http://danesecooper.blogs.com/divablog/2009/10/start-the-revolution-without-me.html *From Danese Cooper's Blog* Some of you may have become aware of REvolution Computing<http://revolution-computing.com/>, a commercial open source company organized around the R Language<http://www.r-project.org/>, when I joined in March

It seems like a recent trend in R has been to make character vectors and factors almost equivalent (apart from the way that factors always remember their original range). There are a few exceptions: * summary.character != summary.factor * table(x, exclude = NULL) != table(factor(x), exclude=NULL) when x includes missing values * strsplit on a factor > strsplit(factor(c("a",

Hello, How do people here handle the situation mentioned in RH bug #379791 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=379791)? We have a web site built using Perl Catalyst which warns about this issue. So far we managed to avoid this by not upgrading the perl package handed to us as part of an old Xen image based on CentOS 5.0, but we are now building the Xen guests without this image and

Hello, I'm looking for a textbook that can explain some of the math behind the intro-to-intermediate stuff like ANOVA, multiple regression, non- parametric tests, etc. A little background: I took an intro stats course last year and would like to further my education. Being as that was the highest (and only) stats class the local community college offers, it looks like I'm on

Hello, I have an XP (SP2) CPU that has just been reloaded with the OS (hard drive was reformatted). The NIC works and I can access the Internet with no problem. When I join the CPU to the domain (there are many other CPUs already on this domain), it joins. After the mandatory reboot, if I try to log in using a domain account, I get an error saying the username and password are incorrect. I

I have recently started a new job at an NHS hospital in Scotland. Since I took up this post 6 months ago I have had an ongoing dispute with the IT secutiry dept. who refuse to install R on my computer. I previously worked in another branch of the NHS where R was widely used and yet there is nothing I can say which will persuade the IT dept here to even visit the website! With some help from our

For those who don't follow Ubuntu development carefully, the first Beta for the next Ubuntu was recently released, so I took my home system and upgraded to help out with filing bugs, etc. Just to be clear, I am not looking for help with the upgrade process. I've had R, and a few miscellaneous CRAN packages installed on this computer for years. Today, when I loaded an R session I had

As an end-user, I wonder about Revolution R. Is the relationship between Revolution R and the R community at-large a positive one? Do the former contribute to the development efforts of the latter? Is there a competitive aspect? is their forum competitive with r-help? any other thoughts? (most of all, I simply hope that they help some of the many helpful experts on this forum, who have

Hi list, I was testing out the "doSMP" package from REvolutionR in my regular R2.11.0 installation and I got the following error message.? Well, one obvious thing is that R2.11.0 was built using "i386-pc-mingw32" which is different from what revoIPC used.? I could just use REvolutionR, but all my R peripherals were set up to work with the regular R2.11.0.? So, I really want

I know this is not a revolution support forum, but as anyone noticed the following? I have a foreach loop to generate random samples. If I run the exact code below in normal r (2.14.1) it works as expected, but if I run it from revolution 4.2.0 each loop returns the same numbers. The only way I can get revolution to give different numbers is using 1 instead of 8 in registerDoSNOW(makeCluster(8,

Hello How do you compare R to SAS in terms of speed and management of large datasets? What about Revolution R? I've seen on their site, they claim that Revolution R is much faster than R and it's multithread... Can you really notice the difference?. What dissadvantage does it have? I think it's based on R 2.10. but R already issued the version 2.12 Regards What alternative

Dear R-devel, REvolution appear to be offering ParallelR only when bundled with their R Enterprise edition. As such it appears to be non-free and closed source. http://www.revolution-computing.com/products/parallel-r.php Since R is GPL and not LGPL, is this a breach of the GPL ? Below is the "GPL and ParallelR" thread from their R forum. mdowle > It appears that ParallelR
