Re: [Rd] Updating library

2008-01-18 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
You need to use 'Run as admininistrator' for just the session updating 
those packages (assuming you installed R with administrator privileges and 
are running it without: you did not say).

This is covered in rw-FAQ Q2.24.

Re: [Rd] a problem when i use JRI package in java

The best thing to do is to ask the maintainer, as the posting guide 
suggests.  Very few of us will be using JRI (or even know Java).



these is some code of the program:

  re.eval("library(lattice)");
 y=re.idleEval("print(1:10)");
 y=re.eval("feq <- read.delim('c:/minist.txt',header=T)");
 y=re.eval("feq1<-as.matrix(feq)");
 System.out.println(y=re.eval("feq1[1,]"));
 y=re.eval("jpeg()");
 y=re.eval("levelplot(feq1)");
 re.eval("dev.off()");
 re.end();
 System.out.println("end");

in these codes i load package   lattice to plot my data ,but  i cann't  get
a right picture, the picture created is empty .
it looks like   this code is not run rightly: y=re.eval("levelplot(feq1)");


See the R FAQ Q7.22: I think this is likely another example of a missing 
print() call.



can some one  help me thanks!

[Rd] Updating library

2008-01-18 Thread Gabor Grothendieck
On Vista my R installation is in

  C:\Program Files\R\R-2.6.0

and there is a library here:

   %userprofile%\Documents\R\win-library\2.6

If I use the GUI Packages menu to update my library it
works ok _except_ for any packages such as lattice and
the VR bundle that come with R.  For those I get this (this
is what I got when I tried to update lattice but I get a similar
message for the VR bundle as well):

> update.packages(ask='graphics')
--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---
Warning in install.packages(update[instlib == l, "Package"], l,
contriburl = contriburl,  :
  'lib = "C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-26~1.0/library"' is not writable
Error in install.packages(update[instlib == l, "Package"], l,
contriburl = contriburl,  :
  unable to install packages

I am using R-2.6.1 (even though the directory says 2.6.0) since I
tend to write over the prior directory if its just an upgrade involving
the last digit of the R version.

> R.version.string
[1] "R version 2.6.1 Patched (2007-12-06 r43610)"

How should I go about updating lattice and the VR bundle?

That edits Rconsole, not Rprofile.  Rconsole has a very limited number 
of entries (a finite list), so that's reasonable.  Rprofile is intended 
to be human editable and is basically unlimited in what it can do; 
computer edits to human editable files are not usually pretty.

The "right" place to store information like this in Windows is in the 
registry, but we've been reluctant to use it, for various historical 
reasons.  In fact, we were just told today that editing the registry is 
not allowed by software used by the US government.  I think they'll be 
moving back to the abacus, if they want to stay with Windows.

It's an enhancement request. We do allow those.

The idea seems sound enough: Just have the mirror selection widget offer 
to store the selection - er- somewhere for later use. Point being of 
course that people can never remeber what to write in which 
configuration file in which directory.

One tricky issue is whether we want the GUI to edit the Rprofile 
(probably not) or add yet another configuration file that would be 
overridden (probably not) by or override (probably not either) the 
hand-written Rprofile files

[Rd] Wishlist- Windows Gui (PR#10589)

Full_Name: Robert Baer
Version: 2.6.1
OS: Windows XP
Submission from: (NULL) (198.209.172.95)


It would be wonderful if the CRAN mirror had an easy way to set a "default CRAN
mirror".

Current behavior is to have to choose a CRAN mirror the first time a package is
installed in a session.  The closest mirror site is always the same for me, and
I wouldn't wish to change it unless it were to be unavailable for an extended
period of time.  I expect I could set it in a configuration file somewhere with
some study, but this is the type of thing that is much more easily and
appropriately done through a GUI.

Re: [Rd] knnFinder package

2008-01-18 Thread Christos Hatzis
Hello,

Perhaps not directly related to knnFinder package, but since the discussion
is on knn-related algorithms, has anyone looked into incorporating the cover
tree algorithm that was invented by the Yahoo team recently?  It is supposed
to be remarkably fast for exact kNN computations in very large datasets.

The link below has details on the algorithm and a C++ implementation from
the inventor.  I don't know enough C++ to be able to work through the
wrapper myself, so I wanted to pass this on to the list in case there is
interest.

Re: [Rd] knnFinder package

2008-01-18 Thread Andrew Finley
Hello all,
The ann() function in the yaImpute package provides a more full featured 
interface to the same underlying approximate nearest neighbor library 
(http://www.cs.umd.edu/~mount/ANN) that is called by the nn() function 
in knnFinder. knnFinder is actually calling an older (defunct) version 
of the ANN library which was known to cause some segmentation faults.

I would be willing to adopt knnFinder, but it is now redundant with the 
functions offered in yaImpute. But first a question -- Should we 
maintain existing packages that have been superseded by other packages? 
If so, then I'll adopt knnFinder, but if not then I suggest letting it go.

Kind regards-
Andy

[Rd] Memory loss in RODBC when reading DateTime values (no problem with integers)

2008-01-18 Thread Dieter Menne
This issue might be related to a similar one in

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.r.devel/11452

** Memory is not reclaimed when reading DateTime values, but works Ok when
with integers. 

There is no memory loss when opening/closing of connection is done outside
of the loop. However, opening itself cannot be the problem, since integers
can be read without loss.

I am aware that this is likely a Windows issue, not an R-problem, but
reporting it may help others to track down more complex cases.

Dieter


# assumes a table db.mdb with ANumber (integer) and ADate(DateTime) exists
library(RODBC)
db = "db.mdb"

# Generate Data
tab =  data.frame(ANumber=1:1000)
tab$ADate= Sys.Date()
channel = odbcConnectAccess(db)
sqlQuery(channel, "DELETE * from tab")
sqlSave(channel,tab,rownames=FALSE,append=TRUE)
odbcClose(channel)
# end of data generation

for (i in 1:1000) {
  channel = odbcConnectAccess(db)
  # When reading a number, memory nicely zig-zags within safe gc limits 
#  ret =   sqlQuery(channel, "SELECT ANumber from tab") 
  # Memory is lost
  ret =   sqlQuery(channel, "SELECT ADate from tab")
  odbcClose(channel)

This is now in place. I also added the ability to manually edit the 
PATH, in case you don't like the automatic edits.

Hopefully I didn't introduce any new bugs at the same time.

And so is the help page (Extract.Rd): I don't see anything here not

Do you mean the NEWS file?  (There is a CHANGES file, for Windows-specific 
changes.)

2.7.0 is not released (and will not be for ca 3 months), and its 
documentation is far from finalized.  We have asked that comments on 
unreleased versions be sent to the R-devel list and not R-bugs.

Whether an introductory document should mention what happens if you 
abbreviate names is moot: adding information in general makes introductory 
documents less clear, and mentioning something not considered to be good 
practice is also questionable at that level.  (We discourage partial 
matching for $, provide an option to warn about it and have tried to 
eliminate it in code and examples in base R.)

2008-01-18 Thread michael . hoehle
Thank you for your quick reply and for only indirectly scolding me for
abusing the RBugs list. :-) However, I do think there is something
funny in the 2.7.0 docu (or in the code). Things behave as expected and
explained by you for version 2.6.0/2.6.1, but in the development
version 2.7.0 (which I was using) the output is different (see below).

The CHANGES file does mention some changes about the [[ subsetting
operator, partial matching and exact=TRUE, so I still think the
documentation could be
clearer at this point by mentioning abbreviations.

Anyhow, with your help I found out that what I really wanted was

control <- list(nameSpace=FALSE)
if (is.null(control[["name",exact=TRUE]])) { control[["name"]] <- TRUE }

Thank your for your help and best regards,
