[Rd] useR! 2006: submission & registration started!
We are happy to inform you that the online abstract submission and registration for `useR! 2006' is now available online from http://www.R-project.org/useR-2006/ This second world meeting of the R user community will take place at the Wirtschaftsuniversitaet Wien, Vienna, Austria, June 15 to 17 2006. The conference schedule comprises keynote lectures and user-contributed sessions as well as half-day tutorials presented by R experts on June 14, 2006, prior to the conference. Keynote lectures addressing hot topics including data mining, graphics, marketing or teaching with R will be presented by prominent speakers including John Chambers, Jan de Leeuw, Brian Everitt, Travor Hastie, John Fox, Stefano Iacus, Uwe Ligges, Paul Murrell, Peter Rossi, Simon Urbanek and Sanford Weisberg. The spectrum of user-contributed sessions will depend on your submissions. Hence, we invite you to submit abstracts on topics presenting innovations or exciting applications of R. The call for papers along with the link to the online abstract submission is available at http://www.R-project.org/useR-2006/#Call Before the start of the official program, half-day tutorials will be offered on Wednesday, June 14th, a list of topics and speakers can be found at http://www.R-project.org/useR-2006/Tutorials/ A special highlight of the conference will be a panel discussion on `Getting recognition for excellence in computational statistics'. Editors of well established journals in both computational and applied statistics will discuss the impact of recent developments in computational statistics on peer-reviewed journal publications. Currently, the panelists include Jan de Leeuw (JSS), Brian Everitt (SMMR), Wolfgang Haerdle (CS), Nicholas Jewell (SMGMB), Erricos Konthogiorges (CSDA), and Luke Tierney (JCGS). Early birds fly until January 31st 2006, so now is the perfect time to write and submit an abstract, register as a participant and plan your trip to Vienna. The conference web page http://www.R-project.org/useR-2006/ has a link to a local hotel booking service and much more news. See you in Vienna!

[Rd] Packages that require other packages - How?
Dear list, The help page for library/require contains the following paragraph in the section "Packages that require other packages": The source code for a package that requires one or more other packages should have a call to 'require', preferably near the beginning of the source, and of course before any code that uses functions, classes or methods from the other package. Now, I'm being very dense today, but I don't know where to put such a call to require. My package has added methods for a generic function supplied by another package. I have listed this package in the Depends field in my DESCRIPTION. What do I need to do to have the package that my package depends on be attached when I call library or require to attach my package? Apologies for being dense...

You can either put a call to require() in the function that needs it (which would be the best solution if that function is relatively rarely used), or in the startup code (in .First.lib, .onLoad, or .onAttach: see the manual for the differences) if you make extensive use of the other package.

Re: [Rd] Packages that require other packages - How?
If I'm not mistaken, when you put the other package in the "Depends:" field of DESCRIPTION, the other package will be loaded first, before your package is loaded. So you shouldn't have to put require/library anywhere else. -roger Gavin Simpson wrote: > Dear list, > > The help page for library/require contains the following paragraph in > the section "Packages that require other packages": > > The source code for a package that requires one or more other > packages should have a call to 'require', preferably near the > beginning of the source, and of course before any code that uses > functions, classes or methods from the other package. > > Now, I'm being very dense today, but I don't know where to put such a > call to require. > > My package has added methods for a generic function supplied by another > package.

But isn't it true that the introduction of the DEPENDS field in the description file, largely makes calls to require obsolete? My impression is that require calls are mostly used to make examples execute if the depend on a suggested package. I may be wrong of course.

[Rd] Request: read.table() - argument 'flush' to be passed to scan()
Hi, would it be possible to add an argument 'flush' to read.table(), which is passed as internal scan(..., 'flush=flush') calls? BACKGROUND: The microarray image analysis software QuantArray, sometimes generates tab-delimited files that contain data rows with trailing and obsolete TAB's (for unknown reasons). Then number of TABs are unknown on before hand, and may vary. These files do have a header, which defines the number of "target/wanted" columns. SOLUTION: If one add 'flush=FALSE' to the list of arguments and passes 'flush=flush' to the "data <- scan(..., flush=flush)" call, that is, the scan call that reads the data table, files like the above can be read correctly. From ?scan, we have: flush: logical: if 'TRUE', 'scan' will flush to the end of the line after reading the last of the fields requested. This allows putting comments after the last field, but precludes putting more that one record on a line. Removing the last sentence, this would be in line with the above suggestion. Is this a wanted update to read.table()? Comments? Cheers Henrik __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
