[Rd] --gui=Tk window does not stretch (PR#8520)

Full_Name: Greg Kochanski Version: 2.2.0 OS: Debian Linux Submission from: (NULL) (212.159.16.190) When you grab the corner of the Tk-R (R's console) window, the window stretches, but the useable area does not. It remains firmly fixed at the (rather small) value of 24 lines. In fact, you end up

Re: [Rd] Master's project to coerce linux nvidia drivers to run generalised linear models

2006-01-23 Thread Gabor Grothendieck
I wonder if it would make more sense to get a relatively low level package to run on it so that all packages that used that low level package would benefit. The Matrix package and the functions runmean and sum.exact in package caTools are some things that come to mind. Others may have other ideas

Hi, I am working with a friend on a master's project. Our laboratory does a lot of statistical analysis using the R stats package and we also have a lot of under-utilised nvidia cards sitting in the back of our networked linux machines. Our idea is to coerce the linux nvidia driver to run so

[Rd] too-large notches in boxplot (PR #7690)

2006-01-23 Thread Ben Bolker
PR #7690 points out that if the confidence intervals (+/-1.58 IQR/sqrt(n)) in a boxplot with notch=TRUE are larger than the hinges -- which is most likely to happen for small n and asymmetric distributions -- the resulting plot is ugly, e.g.: set.seed(1001) npts <- 5 X <- rnorm(2*npts,rep(3:4
