Re: [Rd] overhaul of mle

Hmmm. I'm still struggling with this a little bit. I do now see, I guess, how to use lexical scoping to get the same thing accomplished as mll <- function(p1,p2,p3,data1,data2,data3) [although it still seems like the long way around]. Peter, I appreciate why you're trying to define things this

[Rd] extending boxplot with space() argument?

A student asked me if it was possible to draw boxplots where the boxes themselves were grouped: I was able to hack boxplot.formula() to do the right thing, more or less, by incorporating an argument (space) and some code from barplot. with the extended boxplot.formula() below, the following

I use multivariate random values frequently -- multinomial (using code contributed to the R-list by Ian Wilson), Dirichlet (using ratios of gamma/sum(gamma)), multivariate normal (using mvrnorm() from MASS, which I wish were called rmvnorm instead!) I have functions for them in some of my home-
