trying to write a help file sometimes helps to spot non-intuitive controls, or
ones that could be simplified. Oh, and of course bugs...:
- For the two sample tests, when estimating the size of one of the samples,
why not always make it the second sample (i.e. first sample size provided)?
- Syntax error for estimating sample size in different sample sizes proportion
test.
- In some cases, you get the not-so-helpful error message:
Error in uniroot(function(n2) eval(p.body) - power, c(2 + 1e-10, 1e+07)) :
f() values at end points not of opposite sign
e.g. when no finite n2 sample size is enough to satisfy the given n1 sample
size, effect size, power, significance level. I am not sure, whether this
applies in all cases, but where it does, it would be good to print a more
helpful message. That might mean
pwr.result <- try (pwr.whatever(...))
if (class (pwr.result) == "try-error") {
rk.print ("Power anaylsis not possible at the given specification")
return () # Exits local(), so no need to put the rest inside an else{}.
}
- For GLM, would it make sense to allow to specify "number of parameters to
estimate", and "sample size (N)", instead of numerator / denominator df?
- In the generated printout() code, things might get slightly simpler, if you
print the header earlier:
# Prepare printout
rk.header(pwr.result[["method"]], parameters= c (list("Target
measure"="Whatever"), pwr.result["alternative"]))
note <- pwr.result[["note"]]
pwr.result[c("method", "note", "alternative")] <- NULL
rk.results(as.data.frame (unlist (pwr.result)), titles=c ("",
"Parameters"))
if(!is.null(note)){
rk.print(paste("Note: ", note))
}
[...]
- That said, I wonder, whether the following printout would be good enough
(after the rk.header()):
rk.print.literal (capture.output (print (x)))
(we could add a new function "rk.print.simple(x)" for this kind of output. It
would probably make sense in other places, too).
Regards
Thomas

Try starting from c:\path\to\installed\bundle\KDE\bin\rkward.exe - Start from the command line using rkward.exe --debug-level 4. This should print a bit more info. - Try to specify the location of R, explicitly: rkward.exe --debug-level 4 --r-executable C:\RKWARDbundle\R\bin\i386\R.exe (or whereever R is at). - Does any window show up, at all? Is that literally the whole error message? - While this _should_ not be a problem, any longer, the safest installation path has no spaces in any folder name, and all parts of the folder name are 8 characters or less. - If all else fails, you could try using the custom installer. This can simply be pointed to KDE and R in the bundle.

Hi again, never mind my previous mail. I figured out what's wrong. (When updating the bundle to test2, I forgot to adjust the path to R to be relative, and thus the bundle cannot be moved to a different path). Will upload a new bundle, in a minute. It should still work to simply run the custom installer on top of the bundle, or specify --r-executable on the command line.

I wonder what this is about. _Is_ there a dbus-daemon.exe at C:/Program Files/RKWard/KDE/bin? Is it on the PATH? Any symptoms besides this message?

Yes. Astonishing is about the only word I can find for that.
