[Rd] possible error checking bug and documentation bug in ts

2010-10-22 Thread Charles Geyer
The documentation for ts says "Only one of ‘frequency’ or ‘deltat’ should be provided" but why doesn't it enforce this with     stopifnot(missing(frequency) || missing(deltat)) Wouldn't that work?  Also the documentation does not say what valid time series parameters are. To find that out one mu

You need to update your version of R (r-devel or 2.12 patched) to rev 53385 or later, and read NEWS, particularly the line: - Assignment of an environment to functions or as an attribute to other objects now works for subclasses of "environment". On 10/22/10 10:20 AM, Vitally S. wrote: > Yet

Dear all, First, many thanks to John Chambers, and anyone else who was involved, for the new support for "reference classes" in R 2.12.0. It's nice to see this kind of functionality appear in a relatively R-like form, and with the blessing of the core team. In some contexts it is undoubtedly appea

Hello all. I'm developing a package for R holding a Gibbs sampler, which tends to have better performance when written in C than in R. During each iteration in the Gibbs sampler, I need the inverse of a symmetric matrix. For this, I wish to use lapack, as is concisely suggested in "Writing R exten
