R CMD build error

Dear list,

I try to update the prabclus package.
R CMD check works nicely, no warnings, good results in all tests.
However, building the package fails:

ginkgo:/disk5/home/chrish/RAusw/libsrc R CMD build prabclus
* checking for file 'prabclus/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* preparing 'prabclus':
* checking whether 'INDEX' is up-to-date ... OK
* removing junk files
* building 'prabclus_2.0-1.tar.gz'
tar: prabclus/man/.#prabinit.Rd: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Does anybody have an idea why tar is looking for
prabclus/man/.#prabinit.Rd (which indeed doesn't exist, but why should
it?)

Thank you,
Christian

I  have a large vector of around 12597 elements and I wish to calculate
p-value for each element using a formula of something like:
                        p-value= 1- exp^(kexp^(-labda))
I was wondering someone could give some ideas how to implement for each element.
thankyou very much

#
if labda is the elements of the vector and you know what kexp is , you can
use apply

apply(your_vector, 1, function(x) 1- exp^(kexp^(-x)))

Each element of what? lambda (sic), k? What are these? vectors, scalars? 
R is vectorised, so you should be able to do following, assuming lambda 
is a vector and k is a scalar, for example:

p <- 1 - exp(k * exp(-lambda))

(I am assuming I parsed your formula correctly. If not, please do clarify.)

If both k and lambda are both vectors then the above still applies as 
long as they are the same length (including length 1). If they differ in 
length, beware of R's recycling rules.

HTH,

--sundar

P.S. Have you read the posting guide and subsequent literature, 
especially, an Introduction to R? Because you used "exp^(...)" and 
"kexp" suggests, no.

Hi,

I tried to do a logistic regression with polr(MASS). I
thought I already converted the response to factor,
but obvious I was wrong. Could anyone tell me what I
did wrong and how to correct it? Thank you very much!
as.integer(factor(Lease$EarlyTermination))
RegA=polr(ID~1+MSA+SIC.Code+TenantOption+LLOption+TOExercised,

+  data=Lease, method=c("logistic"))
Error in polr(ID ~ 1 + MSA + SIC.Code + TenantOption +
LLOption + TOExercised,  : 
        response must be a factor
Best,
Ed.

Why are you adding as.integer before the factor statement?  You are forcing 
the variable to be an integer even tough you are passing factor within the 
statement.  Try

Lease$ID <-factor(Lease$EarlyTermination)

Cheers
