In the cooler for the time being. I did a little poking around some weeks ago, planning to change the syntax slightly so that there would be two functions, accessed as generic methods: subset.data.frame(fr,...,where) transform.data.frame(fr,...) e.g., subset(data,visit1:visit5,where=(treat=="placebo")) transform(data,log.creatin=log(creatin)) I.e. subset now combines the old select.frame and subset.frame mechanisms. I also spent a litle while pondering whether the method for substituting names in an object of mode "call" could be generalized somehow, but decided that it was probably too difficult to get it right. Then the close-xterm bug zapped the .RData in the directory where I had been experimenting... Actually, I hadn't done all that much, mainly terminology cleanup, and what was lost should be easily recreated. What's really keeping me is that I've decided to try using R for our course in basic statistics for medical researchers, so now I need to focus on making sure things work that I absolutely *need*, and write various tutorials and missing functions (anyone have logrank.test and kaplan.meier.plot? Working with the Windows version, that is!).

Sounds very nice.

(Maybe run R from within Emacs?)

Yes, that would be nice, too. I remember you asked for that some time ago ... What's also needed is something to produce and plot empirical distribution functions. I thought I could write something for my Biostat course last semester, but it never happened ...
