[Rd] is.vector(as.vector(data.frame(a=1))) and is.vector(as.vector(call("c"))) are FALSE

2013-05-19 Thread Suharto Anggono Suharto Anggono
These are deviations from the convention: ‘is.vector(as.vector(x, m), m)’ should be true for any mode ‘m’, including the default ‘"any"’. * Case 1 These are documented. - ‘is.vector’ returns ‘TRUE’ if ‘x’ is a vector of the specified mode having no attributes _other than names_. It returns ‘F

Re: [Rd] Copy on assignment to large field of reference class

2013-05-19 Thread John Chambers
This is a useful observation. To talk about it, though, we need to re-express it in terms that make sense for R; there are too many misconceptions otherwise. The basic observation is this: When simple subset or element replacement is done in a loop, normally the object is only copied on the fi

[Rd] locking down R

2013-05-19 Thread Ben Bolker
Is anyone on this list aware of discussions about locking down/securing R? My colleagues and I are working with health statistics in an office that disallows many useful tools (e.g. emacs, vim, perl, make) on the grounds that they represent a security risk. We are considering pushing back, b

[Rd] Copy on assignment to large field of reference class

2013-05-19 Thread Giles Percy
Dear all I am trying to find the best way to handle large fields in reference classes. As the code below shows assignment via <<- causes many copies to be made if the subsetting is extensive (in modb1). This can cause R to run out of memory. Creating a local copy and using the optimisation in <-
