Before going any further, I have to check, what is: MinQuadProg qp Also, if I'm following the C++ code correctly, H, is an identity matrix. This implies the input to the C++ solver, requires the QP in a different form to the R solver. In which case, the C++ inputs and the R inputs, should be diffe

Those seem like useful properties if jitter() is used in plotting (as it was originally intended), but that use isn't even mentioned in the help page. Martin wanted to "add a small amount of noise to a numeric vector" "in order to break ties" (quoting from that help page). For Martin's use, i

Folks: Please note: There is *no* way to "jitter" the 3 values 1,2, and 1e5 so that: a) the jittered values differ from the original ones by a fraction of their original value; b) the plotting symbols for the jittered values will be distinguishable on a linear scale holding all 3 values. Cheers,

Hi Ana, The ifelse function works like this: *ifelse(condition, if.true, if.false)* it will check the condition, and if, and only if, condition is true, it will execute whatever is in if.true, and if condition is false (and only if the condition is false) it will execute what's in if.false. wh

Dear Duncan, Dear Rui, thanks for the responses and for pointing out that it is the ‚fuzz‘ part that is causing the problem. I agree that this is not a bug, but could be undesirable/surprising behaviour, since it causes a large ‚discontinuity‘ in the jitter functions output depending on the inp

Thank you for giving me your time! The problem is the quadratic optimization part. Something goes wrong along the way. In C++ loops run from 0 and in R they run from 1, and I've tried to take that into account. Still I'm having hard time figuring out the mistake I make, cause I get a result from m

Hi Dan, This list has a "no homework" policy, but as you really do seem to be struggling, I'll suggest that you read the help page for "abs" carefully and learn about "<-" (assign a value). Perhaps these will give you a start. Jim On Thu, Sep 24, 2020 at 6:19 PM Dan Bosio wrote: > > Hi there > >

Hi Luigi, I thought a lot about that when I was writing the function. The only way I could think of to show the nesting was dots with horizontal lines and it looked messy and was quite hard to visualize the nesting. If you do have any great ideas I always welcome contributions to plotrix. Jim On

Hi Luigi, To display a nested breakdown like this I would suggest barNest. This is one way to display the nesting. Note that if you change the order of the factors in the formula you will get a different plot, so think about how you want the summaries nested. Error bars can only be displayed on the
