Hi List, Would you please send me a good link to talk me through on how to write a R package?
See the ?package.skeleton help page. After you have run it, follow the instructions in the "Read-and-delete-me" file that it will create. For full details, see the Writing R Extensions manual. For modifying the package after you've finished the "Read-and-delete-me" instructions, just manually add *.R files where the rest of them are, and use the prompt() function to produce skeleton documentation. That's about it, but you can read more if you like in a tutorial I gave a few years ago at a UseR meeting in Dortmund: http://www.statistik.uni-dortmund.de/useR-2008/slides/Murdoch.pdf
... and there are others who gave talks or tutorials about it (inlcuding myself). Nevertheless, I'd recommend to look into the manual "Writing R Extensions" which is updated with R and with the changes in the package related mechanisms --- while all our talks and tutorials won't get updated. Probably Duncan's is still correct, but I want to make this remark for the list's archives. Best, Uwe Ligges
