Have a look at the warning in ?geepack::geeglm It should be mentioned in

Onderwerp: [R] R crash

I have a generalized linear model to solve. I used package "geepack". When I 
use the correlation structure "unstructured", I get a messeage that- R GUI 
front-end has stopped working. Why this happens? What is the solution?
The r codes are as follows:
a<-read.table("d:/bmt.txt",header=T")
cutoffs<-c(1.75,3.34,5.09,6.93,9.11,11.8,15.3,20.1,23.7,27.3,30.9,34.3,37.6,41.5,46.5,51.1,57,63,73.1,93.68)
a$icr <- REL
library(pseudo)
pseudo <- pseudoci(time=a$TIME,event=a$icr,tmax=cutoffs)

#rearranging data
b <- NULL
 for(it in 1:length(pseudo$time)){
 b <- rbind(b,cbind(a,pseudo = pseudo$pseudo[[1]][,it],  tpseudo = 
pseudo$time[it],id=1:nrow(a)))  }  b <- b[order(b$id),]


 library(geepack)

fit3 <-  geese(pseudo ~ as.factor(AGE) + as.factor(WEIGHT) +
as.factor(HEIGHT) ,
data =b, id=id, jack = TRUE, scale.fix=TRUE, mean.link = "logit", 
corstr="unstructured")

#The results using the AJ variance estimate cbind(mean = round(fit3$beta,4), SD 
= round(sqrt(diag(fit3$vbeta.ajs)),4),
Z = round(fit3$beta/sqrt(diag(fit3$vbeta.ajs)),4),
PVal = round(2-2*pnorm(abs(fit3$beta/sqrt(diag(fit3$vbeta.ajs,4))

Presumably geepack has a bug.  You should simplify your example as much 
as you can and send it to the maintainer of that package.

  This is not reproducible ... and would be better on the
r-sig-mixed-models  r-project.org list.  If/when you repost,
more details would be useful:

 * how big is your data set (number of individuals, total
number of observations)?
 * are you including a data= argument in your calls?  It is
generally considered good practice.
 * your predictor variables are different in the two calls --
are you using different data sets, or different predictors,
(i.e. 'condicion' vs 'condition', 'individual' vs 'individuo',
'rasgo' vs 'trait'), or is this a typo?
 * have you checked to see that all variables are of the type
you think they should be (numeric vs factor)?
 * do you actually have multiple observations with different
trait values within at least some individuals?
 * see , or the posting
guide, for information about reproducible examples ...

Dear Duncan,

Thanks for the info. I'll be waiting for it then.
I once tried to contact the maintainer of this package, but never got an 
answer; so I haven't tried this time. I'll try again.

RSvgDevice is a contributed package; you should contact the maintainer

Wouldn't urt to uninstall and then reinstall Rgui. (I'm assuming this
is Rgui?) Maybe a file got corrupted and a reinstall will clear things
up?

You need to come up with a simple scheme to reproduce it, and then

If you're willing to let me download the saved workspace, I could give

Re: [R] R crash after fGarch update

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Start R with --vanilla, or rename youe saved workspace (.RData).
Then

library(fGarch)
load(".RData")  # or whatever you renamed it to.

This will either work or (more ikely) tell you it cannot find fGarch 
or a package it depends on).

I get the following:

But I do have a package called fGarch.

After I hit ok, it crashes and exits.  I cannot use any functionality at

It might have something to do with the fact that you call your function
"main". Try renaming it.

Also have a look at section 5.5 of the "Writing R Extensions" manual on
creating shared objects for loading into R.

Whoops, I forgot to remove it and will do so this afternoon.

a compiler crash during the build.)

cran.fhcrc.org dated 17-Jul-2007 05:04 for Core2 Duo.

The code that causes the crash:

y <- rnorm(100)
z <- rnorm(100)
loess(z ~ x * y)

loess(z ~ x) does not cause a crash using the Atlas BLAS and neither does
running the above code with the Rblas.dll that came with R 2.7.1.  In
addition, the code runs fine using the Atlas BLAS under R 2.6.2.

The windows error information that is printed to the screen when R 
closes:

crash causes.  I've used the ATLAS BLAS for about 6 months on this 
machine

(it's a new machine) with R 2.6.2.

Using debug(stats:::simpleLoess), I've found that the crash occurs on the
first iteration of the line:

z <- .C(R_loess_raw, as.double(y), as.double(x),
   as.double(weights), as.double(robust), as.integer(D),
   as.integer(N), as.double(span), as.integer(degree),

   xi = double(max.kd), vert = double(2 * D), vval = 
double((D

+
 1) * max.kd), diagonal = double(N), trL = double(1),
   delta1 = double(1), delta2 = double(1), 
as.integer(surf.stat

==
 "interpolate/exact"))

After that, I'm kind of stuck in terms of tracking it down.

Re: [R] R crash with ATLAS precompiled Rblas.dll on Windows XP Core2 Duo

Yes, that Rblas.dll is known to be faulty, and the person who built it is 
unable to re-build it.  It needs to be removed from CRAN.
