Re: [Rd] Package naming best practices

Only personal preferences, although you might argue that the two naming schemes hints at a package using either S3 or S4 methodology. Some packages also has a all cap naming scheme like PortfolioSim. But why not follow part of the R community and choose an incomprehensible abbreviation like

[Rd] Package naming best practices

R-devel, I'm in the process of choosing a name for a new package. I've already decided that the name will have two parts, 'portfolio' and 'sim', but can't decide between 'portfolioSim' and 'portfolio.sim'. Is there any good reason to choose one over the other? Thanks in advance, Jeff -- Jef

[Rd] package compile error on RHEL x86_64

Re: [Rd] Bug or not? (PR#8977)

I think you are computing your matrix to power N+1 instead of N. This code seems to work for me: Rs <- function(lambda, theta, N){ n0 <- 3.66 n1 <- 2.4 n2 <- 1.45 nn <- 1.00 lambda_ref <- 1000 d1 <- lambda_ref / 4 / n1 d2 <- lambda_ref / 4 / n2 theta0 <- asin( nn /

[Rd] Bug or not? (PR#8977)

Hi, I am writing this email, because I am not sure if the issue I have discovered is a bug or not. For a few days I have been fiddling around with a small program that calculates the reflectance of multilayer dielectric mirrors (eg. bragg mirrors). It does not really matter what I did, what ma
