If you found my subject heading to be confusing then I'm sure you'll enjoy the example I've included below. I find the apply type functions to be wonderful for avoiding loops but when I use them with...

The R-devel RPMS has a number of dependencies on Fedora Core development tools. When the RPMS is installed, the dependencies are resolved by automatically downloading and installing the latest version of the development tools. Looking at the README file...

I made a typographical error, since I am running R 2.2.1. I wouldn't dream of asking Professor Bates to make things backwards compatible to an old version. Since the packages are loading fine for you, I will...

The Excel 'database' I am pulling from mixes multiple character indicators for different kinds of non-numeric results in the same column as the numeric values. A simple sqlFetch turns all of the character indicators into NAs. I would like...

It is frustrating to see the labels I want in the dimensions of a list but not be able to extract those labels into titles for plots generated from component objects. If someone could set me straight, I would appreciate...

I'll address two issues. The first is today's error message and the other is change management for contributed packages on CRAN. TODAY'S ERROR MESSAGE I switched from the 0.995-1 versions of lme4 and Matrix to...

John: Thank you for your interest. After more investigation I see that my problem is with linking tcltk to R. tcl 8.4.7-2 and tk 8.4.7-2 are tuned to fc3 (Fedora Core 3) and part...

My subject line refers to a thread from June 2005 where I found explanations from Uwe Ligges and Friedrich Leisch as to what is intended by the R citation recommended within the software. Forgive me if I missed some points...
