Dear helpeRs, I would like to include generation of a potentially large number of plots, and modify the ask settings using the devAskNewPage function, and return it back to its original state afterwards. It is not unlikely that the user...

Dear developeRs, I have not found anything recent about how to link to a vignette or other documentation from within Rd-files. Is this now possible with the new help system ? For example, I would like to link to the...

Dear Meike, a variable with negative entry for J in IJ (I cannot become negative) explains more in the joint model than it can explain when alone in the model. You can find discussions of such phenomena e.g. under...

Dear userRs, Version 2.0 of package relaimpo is on CRAN (and on my homepage with an additional metric for non-US users). It contains several major improvements: - usage of factors - incorporation of interactions (for metric lmg only) - incorporation of...

I also second Peter's proposal. I think that it is particularly helpful to save time for maintainers of packages that were developed a longer time ago. When writing new packages, it is relatively easy to keep track of which...

Dear developeRs, I appreciate that boxplot now labels the axes with variable names per default. However, with argument "horizontal=TRUE" (which I always use), the default axis labels are mixed up, as can e.g. be seen with require(boot...

Dear UseRs, the new Task View "ExperimentalDesign" (Title: Design of Experiments (DoE) & Analysis of Experimental Data) has just been uploaded to CRAN. It covers packages that have functionalities for designing experiments or specific tools for analyzing data from designed experiments...

Dear all, I got stuck with a weird behavior of pretty: pretty(c(-1,1),n=1) yields -2, 0, 2 instead of the desired result -1 1. Likewise, pretty(c(-2,2),n=1) yields -5, 0, 5 instead...

Dear developeRs, I have just discovered a strange feature when assigning some values to columns of a data frame: The column is matched by partial matching (as documented), but when assigning a value, a new column with the partial name...

Dear helpeRs, I have some png files in the inst/extdata directory of a package (e.g., man.png), and I want to provide character strings containing the paths to these files; of course, these path strings have to depend...

Full_Name: Ulrike Groemping Version: 2.9.0 OS: Windows Submission from: (NULL) (84.190.173.190) The documentation for data.frame contains the sentence "A data frame is a list of variables of the same length with unique row...

Dear userRs, Version 2.0 of package relaimpo is on CRAN (and on my homepage with an additional metric for non-US users). It contains several major improvements: - usage of factors - incorporation of interactions (for metric lmg only) - incorporation of...

A quick addition: SAS PROC LOGISTIC with option SCALE=PEARSON only calculates what R calculates in the grouped version; this is forced by refusing to calculate a FI estimate for ungrouped data, unless an AGGREGATE option is specified. Apparently, SAS...

Dear package developeRs, I am working on fixing some notes regarding package DoE.base. One note refers to the function levels.no and complains that the function is not documented as a method for the generic function levels. Actually, it...

Dear package developeRs, under the Fedora clang checks, I find the note "Undeclared packages ?FrF2?, ?DoE.wrapper?, ?sfsmisc?, ?DoE.MIParray?, ?planor? in Rd xrefs" for my package DoE.base. I understand that package planor has been archived from CRAN; I...

Erin, there is one that comes with your R installation, at least if you are on Windows. On my Windoes R 2.11.0, this is the path: C:\Programme\R\R-2.11.0\Tcl\doc\tcltk85.chm Best...

Dear expeRts, I have run some simulations under R 2.15.1 on a Mac, and I have rerun a sample of them under R 3.0.1 on Windows (and also for comparison under R2.14.1 on Windows...

Dear John, dear all, while John's solution helped nicely for modifying the state of a tab, I am again stuck with selecting a tab. I've managed to capture the tabs numeric id (0-based). But using tkselect or...

Dear R-helpers, I have a question regarding LU-decomposition with function lu in package Matrix. The following simple example confuses me: Why is as.matrix(elu$U) not an upper triangular matrix? u3 <- matrix(c(1,1,1,1...
