PR#7718
M. Edward (Ed) Borasky · Mar 7, 2005 · r-devel

R-devel 2005/03/07 is totally innocent. Uninstalling Atlas 3.6.0 fixed this. You can close it out; once I figure out whether it's Gentoo's packaging of Atlas or Atlas/Athlon itself, I'll post a...

Does R use the ATLAS linear algebra library?
M. Edward (Ed) Borasky · May 4, 2001 · r-help

I was visiting the ATLAS home page and they claim that the R project uses the ATLAS libraries. ATLAS is an adaptive linear algebra library. Is this true? It would save me a *lot* of time if it is :-). -- znmeb...

Fitting inter-arrival time data
M. Edward (Ed) Borasky · Jun 30, 2003 · r-help
