[Rd] possible bug in chron packages

Dear, According to the documentation, the parameters given in "dates" are passed to the function "chron". When trying this out, it turns out that this apparently doesn't happen, eg: > dates("20100101",format="Ymd",out.format="day mon year") [1] 01/01/10 > chron("20100101",format="Ymd",out.format=

Re: [Rd] Wait for user input with readline()

Thanks all, Even if I'm not an expert in programmation, I'll try to compile informations and try to sort my problem. Alexandre -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Wait-for-user-input-with-readline-tp3054517p3077878.html Sent from the R devel mailing list archive at N

Re: [Rd] Suggested change to integrate.Rd

Hi, John: Maybe change it to something like "gives wrong answer without warning on many systems (see 'Note' above)", as the 'Note' does provide more detail. Thanks, Spencer On 12/7/2010 8:08 PM, John Nolan wrote: R developers understand intimately how things work, and terse descriptions a

Re: [Rd] Suggested change to integrate.Rd (was: Re: 0.5 != integrate(dnorm, 0, 20000) = 0)

Hi, My honest and (not so) humble opinion is that no amount of clear and explicit warning can totally prevent the inappropriate use of any tool. Users will continue to use the tools, without doing the necessary background work to figure out whether the that tool is the appropriate one for their pa

[Rd] directory structure of R 2.12.0 distribution

I am just revising my batch files which call R and have a question regarding the directory structure of the R distribution in R 2.12.0. Prior to R 2.12.0 the R executables were in R_HOME\bin but now are in R_HOME\bin\i386 on my machine. I assume that there is a different subdirectory of bin on 64

Re: [Rd] directory structure of R 2.12.0 distribution

Hi, On my 64-bit machine, there are two subdirectories: i386 x64 I usually want to use the 64-bit executable. However, some packages have not yet been compiled for a 64-bit machine, so for those I need to use the 32-bit i386 subdirectory. Kevin On 12/8/2010 10:32 AM, Gabor Groth

Re: [Rd] Suggested change to integrate.Rd

That sounds like a great idea to me: This should give the Core R team more time to worry about the code by delegating maintenance of the help files to a larger group. Spencer On 12/8/2010 2:22 PM, John Nolan wrote: Well, you can't idiot-proof things, but you can give clear descriptions and
