I was under the impression which I have just corrected that it would be a simple matter to detach() a package and reload it. My efforts to document that misconception fell apart after looking at ?detach

So maybe one does need to start a fresh session if one has loaded an out of date package version and then installed anew version. It appears that may be especially so if there is a DLL in the package.


Please advise as to appropriate list. Many thanks!

Actually, after reconsideration it probably of more general relevance than just the Max OS user audience to which I thought you intended this to be read. The list of lists, however, is reached via a link to the "R Mailing Lists" which appears in the first paragraph of the R Help page whose link is in every R-help posting.

I downloaded the R package for Mac


Posted to the wrong list.


and hacked together a couple scripts, but
couldn't seem to get the right output. After installing the psych package, I tried the test script included in this thread on the console, but I got
similar results to a prior poster:


x

[1] "red"    "yellow" "blue"   "red"

y

[1] "red"  "blue" "blue" "red"

ck <- cohen.kappa(cbind(x,y))

Error in counts[i, j] <- sum(scores[i, ] == score.levels[j], na.rm = TRUE) :
 subscript out of bounds
In addition: Warning messages:
1: NAs introduced by coercion
2: NAs introduced by coercion

Since I got the impression that there may be a version problem, I updated the psych package to the most recent version, 1.0-94 (from source). After this, I tried over and over to run the cohen.kappa command, and still kept
getting the same error.

So I quit R and restarted it, then went to the package manager and selected the checkbox next to "psych" to load it, and tried to re-run the command.

This time I got the expected output:

Call: cohen.kappa1(x = x, w = w, n.obs = n.obs, alpha = alpha)

Cohen Kappa and Weighted Kappa correlation coefficients and confidence
boundaries
                lower estimate upper
unweighted kappa  0.098      0.6  1.10
weighted kappa   -0.693      0.0  0.69

Number of subjects = 4

Lesson learned: close and restart the Mac client if you're using the GUI
front-end in order for changes to the package manager to take effect.


I have a small screenshot for you to look at:
