Re: [Rd] html help fails for named vector objects (PR#9927)

2007-09-23 Thread P Ehlers
There seems also to be a difference between the way 'help()' and '?' handle 'topic' in some cases. Consider: lm <- "aov" The following all bring up help for 'lm': ?lm ?"lm" help("lm") This opens help for 'aov': help(lm) It seems that "?" doesn't care about quoting, but "help" does. Did I miss s

Assuming you're on Windows (you didn't say), it looks like the PACKAGES file in /.../contrib/2.2/ has two entries for Matrix. Perhaps that's the problem. Peter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > It appears to me that the new version of the package Matrix will not load to > R-2.2.0. > > Respectfully, >

Re: [Rd] Problem with fitdistr for gamma in R 2.2.0

2005-11-17 Thread P Ehlers
I think the problem may lie with fitdistr(). Specifically, replacing the code in fitdistr.R (VR_7.2-20) (line 137 to end) with the code in VR_7.2-8 (line 92 to end) seems to handle fitdistr(otm, "gamma") just fine. But I haven't done much testing. Peter Ehlers Peter Dalg

Gregor, fitdistr(otm, "gamma", method="L-BFGS-B") works for me (on WinXP). Or you could specify "lower = 0". I no longer have 2.1.0 running, so I don't know why this wasn't needed in 2.1.0. "R version 2.2.0, 2005-10-24" MASS version: 7.2-20 -peter Gorjanc Gregor wrote: > Dear R developers,

Not really a problem, but I can't figure this out: (OS: Windows XP SP2) I have both R-patched ("R version 2.2.0, 2005-10-21") and R-devel ("R version 2.3.0, 2005-10-21") installed. For both, I set options(chmhelp = TRUE). R-patched has no problems, but in R-devel, attempts to access help result in
