Re: [Rd] possible bug in co.intervals when overlap=0

2006-12-15 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
This happens equally when overlap = 0.5 (the default). Yes, it is a bug. R does xr <- x[r + ii] with fractional r. On Fri, 15 Dec 2006, Benjamin Tyner wrote: > I apologize if this is just a misunderstanding on my part, but I was > under the impression that the intervals returned by co.intervals

[Rd] max.col oddity

2006-12-15 Thread John Zedlewski
I've noticed that the max.col function with the default "random" option often gives unexpected results. For instance, in this test, it seems clear what the answer should be: > # second col should always be max > x1 = cbind(1:10, 2:11, -Inf) > > # this works fine > max.col(x1, "first") [1] 2 2 2 2

[Rd] possible bug in co.intervals when overlap=0

2006-12-15 Thread Benjamin Tyner
I apologize if this is just a misunderstanding on my part, but I was under the impression that the intervals returned by co.intervals should cover all the observations. Yet x<-1:10 z<-co.intervals(x,overlap=0) In R, z equals [,1] [,2] [1,] 0.5 1.5 [2,] 2.5 3.5 [3,] 3.5 4.5 [4,] 5.5

[Rd] fork package problem

2006-12-15 Thread billk01
I have been using the fork package on a cluster to spawn jobs. I have noticed that I end up with many "R defunct" (zombie) processes following the use of fork that do not die completely until I close down R. Initially, I thought it may be my code but I ran the example from the latest fork pac
