Subject: Calling R from within Matlab Code
In-Reply-To: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0208201358460.5872-100000@serum.scl.csd.uwo.ca>; from kamyar_hazaveh@ieee.org on Tue, Aug 20, 2002 at 02:00:23PM -0400
As far as I am aware, there is no package that currently does this.
Some people (Friedrich Leisch and others in Vienna) are working on
using XML to communicate between the two systems.
I am in the process of putting together an R-Octave interface
which allows one to call R from Octave. An R-Matlab interface
would be relatively easy to construct by adapting the R-Octave
code in a few spots. I have looked at embedding R in Matlab
over the past few years and it appears that there are enough
hooks for this.
In principal, all you need to do is create R as a shared library
and then dynamically load some code into Matlab that is linked
against that and which creates R expressions to be evaluated
from Matlab calls. Many of the Omegahat packages do this, so example
code is available.
I'll hopefully make the R-Octave code available in the next few weeks.
