[Rd] google fusiontables

2011-08-23 Thread RKoenker
I'm wondering whether anyone knows of an interface of R to google's
relatively new fusiontables

http://www.google.com/fusiontables/public/tour/index.html

http://code.google.com/apis/fusiontables/docs/developers_guide.html

having googled around a bit one comes eventually to this:  

http://andrei.lopatenko.com/rstat/fusion-tables.R

but it seems to have been dropped when the author bit the Apple.  I'm
looking for a  simple way to 
generate web based stuff from R for classes, and this looked like a more
lively option than the defunct
Rpad, or other things that I've uncovered.  If there are other good options,
preferably with some
documentation and examples,  I'd be happy to hear about them too.

TIA,
Roger

Re: [Rd] Packages required but not available:

2015-08-31 Thread RKoenker
I misunderstood this message, and now realize that it was attributable to the
(obvious) fact that these extra
packages were not installed on MY machine since I'd just upgraded to
R-devel.  The pogs package still produces
a NOTE, but hopefully that is not a deal breaker for CRAN.

[Rd] requireNamespace etiquette

2015-02-20 Thread RKoenker
I'm trying to resolve a problem of Namespaces and probably have misunderstood
something basic.
In my quantreg package the function crq() has as its first argument a
formula that typically contains
something like this: Surv(y, ...) ~ foo,  where Surv is a function from the
survival package which
quantreg suggests.  When this syntax is encountered in ordinary usage Surv
is resolved, I believe,
because near the beginning of the crq code there is the locution:

if(!requireNamespace("survival", quietly = TRUE))
stop("crq requires survival package to be installed")

However, when R CMD check tries to do one of the crq examples I see:

> f <- crq(Surv(y,d,type = "left") ~ x, method = "Portnoy")
Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : could not find function "Surv"
Calls: crq ... eval -> model.frame -> model.frame.default -> eval -> eval
Execution halted

Can someone suggest a fix?

Roger

Re: [Rd] cyclic namespace dependency detected

2012-08-26 Thread RKoenker
My apologies,  my cyclic namespace problem was due to a unintended test file
that 
invoked require(quantreg) and that I had forgotten to remove from the R
directory.
(And a corresponding failure to explore the obvious before assuming a global
conspiracy.)
