Two ways to inherit in S4?
Ross Boylan · Jun 7, 2005 · r-help

I'm puzzled that it seems possible to specify inheritance via the "representation" and "contains" arguments to setClass. The examples that I've seen all seem to use contains only. Is there some subtle distinction between these two approaches? Originally...

In my 1.7.1 R (on Debian) the help for "library" includes the line `as.environment(match("package:name"), search())' will return the There is a misplaced parenthesis. I think you mean `as.environment(match("package:name", search()))' will...

Ross Boylan · Jul 20, 2013 · r-sig-debian

I am modifying a package that appears to have been made with roxygen. I'm currently running Debian stable (wheezy) amd64 with the stock R 2.15.1. I have some other, mostly older, flavors as well. roxygen doesn't...

Ross Boylan · Jul 30, 2009 · r-sig-hpc

This is a work in progress, but I thought I might share the changes I've made so far to rsprng (based on v 0.4) to integrate it more fully with R's random number framework. Untested, but enough...

R CMD check ignores .Rbuildignore?
Ross Boylan · Mar 18, 2007 · r-devel

The contents of .Rbuildignore seems to affect R CMD build but not R CMD check. I'm using R 2.4.0 on Debian. Is my understanding correct? And is there anything I can do about it? In my case...

tail recursion in R
