Thank you, Ben; corrected in my (not yet committed) development
version.
BTW, there will be another improvement there,
deprecating 'giveCsparse = TRUE'
and replacing it by 'repr = "C"'
the latter allowing all three kind of sparseMatrix formats
("C", "R", "T") instead of just Csparse* and Tsparse*.
Best regards,
Martin

How I can learn more about this, including (a) 'repr = ("C", "R",
"T")', (b) how it creeps into my code, and (c) when I can expect to see it?
I'm running R 4.0.2, and "?sparse.model.matrix" on a fresh
session generates "No documentation for ‘sparse.model.matrix’ in
specified packages and libraries", but it's there after
"library(Ecfun)". I find that interesting, because "Matrix" does not
appear in the Ecfun DESCRIPTION file. AND I don't see 'repr = ("C",
"R", "T")' in the "sparse.model.matrix" help file I do see.
Thanks,
Spencer Graves

[Rd] Experimental CI tool for R
Based on ideas from the R-core discussion panel at useR2020, I created a little CI tool to make it easier to follow changes in R-devel, and to write/test patches for R. The tool is based on a Github mirror of the SVN, where each new commit triggers a full make-check on 8 different system configurations. The results are published on: https://r-devel.github.io which gives an overview of the most recent revisions, including links to the build logs, and a link to the (unsigned) Windows installer. As of yesterday, it should be possible to inspect the build logs without signing in to GitHub. The system can also be used to develop and test patches for base-R. Anyone can send pull-requests, which will trigger the same set of builds. The check results and link to Windows installer will appear under your pull request. Finally, GitHub makes it very easy to export a pull request as a patch file, which is the format that R-core members still like to use. More instructions are available on: https://github.com/r-devel/r-svn#readme I hope this tool can make cross-platform testing and contributing of base-R slightly less painful, while we are still on SVN. __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel

Not interesting.
Note the imports and depends fields.

Spencer, you need to specify the package
the function belong to,
?Matrix::sparse.model.matrix, or import
library(Matrix) ...

I don't know the answer to these three.

Indeed. It's not even yet in the *development* version of Matrix
on R-forge, see
packageDescription("Matrix")[["URL"]]
but it probably will be "real soon now".
The problem with that R-forge version (1.3-0) of Matrix is that
half a dozen CRAN packages at least need to be slightly fixed
before that Matrix version becomes default on CRAN, as these
packages make assumptions about unspecified behavior of some
Matrix functions, notably Matrix::Matrix() which in that next version
of Matrix will produce "diagonalMatrix" instead of
"CsparseMatrix" objects in more cases a good thing, but not
what those packages have assumed...
@Spencer: Are you actively using 'giveCsparse = ..' somewhere
in your code?
If not, why would you be interested in the details of the changes
(which would be entirely invisible to you as user) ?

Jim Ramsay is rewriting the code for fda::fRegress. It requires
a double iteration, which is already fairly expensive and often involves
large matrices, especially if you want to estimate, e.g., more spline
coefficients than observations by using some smoothness criterion to
make the problem estimable. I suggested he consider a singular value
decomposition, which would preserve numerical precision AND maybe
transform the problem into a series of univariate optimization problems.
By the way, Ecfun includes some 32 "suggests" and "imports".
"Matrix" is not one of them, but it must be called by something else
that's loaded by Ecfun, to get the result I got.
Thanks,
Spencer

Spencer, I find some of your comments/questions on R packages, extremely basic. (Sorry, if that sounds condescending, but I'm wondering if your comments/questions would be better R-package-devel?). You need to look at the imports and depends fields. (As stated in my previous post). The *first* package on the Ecfun imports list, is fda, which is *your* package (technically, contributor), and it has a dependency on the Matrix package. I'd recommend you read the documentation on writing R packages, and on how package namespaces are handled. __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
