Correction, it wasn't my query. I was replying to someone else's query. > Finally, you cast doubt on whether the function pcf3est actually does > calculate... You've taken what I said out of context. As I said in my response to Rolf, I didn't run the code. > email from CRAN requesting me to please cut down the size of the spatstat > package I can't speak on behalf on CRAN. But reiterating what I said earlier, you'd be better to create smaller packages, each with a more specific focus. Each package could have an unofficial co-maintainer to help you out. > You complain that the documentation is insufficient, but at the same time, > you complain that the manual is too long (> 1700 pages) and you seem > unwilling to search the documentation or follow cross-references. Did you read my posts... The functions DO NOT cross-reference. The pcf generic/methods DO NOT reference the pcf3est function, at all. The pcf3est function DOES NOT reference the pp3 function, but rather references the class of the object. Also, the seealso sections are minimalist. If you are not going to create smaller packages, then the least you could do it improve the standard of the seealso sections and cross-referencing. Furthermore, if functions are not cross-referenced, the reader (I this case me) doesn't necessarily know what package those functions are defined in. You assume that readers will assume the functions are defined in your package, and then do a search for them. Instead of making assumptions about assumptions, just use hyperlinks... > > I was somewhat disappointed ... not one (after approx 24 hours) had tried to > > help answer the OP's question. > Seriously? Yes, seriously. >From my experiences, if people don't reply to an R-help question in the first 24 hours, chances that they will reply later are low. Also, I've found a bias on this forum, with few replies to physics-related questions. Personally, I like physicists, one of the most under-valued professions on the planet. > I found the pcf function via Googling the subject. > I don't want to be rude, but this seems pretty lazy. > Try Googling 'spatstat pair correlation function three dimensions' That sounds like a contradiction. Also, it's off the mark, given that I was the only one who attempted to answer the OPs question. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
