[Rd] Bug in all.equal() or in the plm package

The Rcpp R/C++ object mapping library and package template has been updated on CRAN in package RcppTemplate. It allows you to work with R objects like data frames and zoo time series in C++ programs. R can call C++ functions, and C++ objects can call R functions, with parameters and return values

[Rd] Negative integer subscripts in [[?

2009-11-09 Thread William Dunlap
