Sigh. I never load packages in .Rprofile to avoid the irreproducibility trap.
Might seem drastic to some, but I don't feel much pain because I almost always
edit my code in a file rather than on the fly at the console, and re-run it
frequently from a fresh R process to check my progress.
Yes, <sigh>. But I am a long-time user of the rms/Hmisc combo, as well as the
survival package, so near the top of my .Rprofile is:
require(lattice)
require(sos)
require(rms)
Should I be ashamed of that?
I suppose I should, and I _am_ ashamed of some of the other stuff in
there ....<delete>, <delete> ... and I've been meaning to address my
manifold deficiencies w.r.t. irreproducibility by moving to RStudio,
but I keep putting it off.
This is getting *way* off topic ... but why does using RStudio help with
the irreproducibility problem? I thought that RStudio just made it
easier to point-and-click. For those who like doing that sort of thing.
(I tend to believe the dictum that a GUI makes it easy to do easy things
and impossible to do hard things.)
cheers,
Rolf
