2010-12-24 Thread Yifan Yang
Merry Chrismas to everyone, I have came across a problem when I tried to install 'qvalue' package, which depends on 'tcltk', in Centos 5.x, 64 bit. I compiled R 2.12.1(./configure --enable-R-static-lib --with-x --enable-memory-profiling) and tcl/tk(8.5.9). There is no warning message when I finish

Hi, Another option is to vectorize your function and have the theta() function return the data frame. On my system, this approach was roughly 10x faster than using your original function + for loop and gave identical results. I also made a few other minor changes to your code to make it easier f

Hi Gabor,   Thanks very much for your reply. I was hoping to ask a follow-up question. Can you explain why it's better to use transform than to use within? The main difference between the two functions seems to be that within allows one to use variables created in a step (e.g., A and B) to creat
