*(note*: This is an R community question, not a statistical nor coding question. Since this is my first time writing such a post, I hope no one will take offence of it.) Hello all, I will be attending useR 2009 next week, and was wondering if there are any of you who are *bloggers *intending to participate and report on useR 2009? If so - I would love to know your blogs URL so as to follow you.

Hi, I am trying to get R installed at work and I was asked if there were any companies that offered support. After searching on Google (many ways) and not find anything, I turn to you. BTW, I did see Revolution R supports their flavor. Thanks, Chris [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Will R have more glitches on one operating system as opposed to another, or is it pretty much the same? robert

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

Does anyone know any more than is in the following press release about REvolution Computing and their commercialization of R? http://www.intel.com/capital/news/releases/080122.htm "Intel Capital, the global investment arm of Intel Corporation, today announced that it has invested in the Series A financing of REvolution Computing, creator of parallel computing software for computational

I have a data frame with about 10^6 rows; I want to group the data according to entries in one of the columns and do something with it. For instance, suppose I want to count up the number of elements in each group. I tried something like aggregate(my.df$my.field, list(my.df$my.field), length) but it seems to be very slow. Likewise, the split() function was slow (I killed it before it completed).

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

Hi, everybody. Sorry to bring up the subject again but I have visited the revolution computing web page, but its not clear when or what will be the new release be. Does anybody have information about that?. Does anybody know if the version that will be released will be validated?.
