[R] Standards for delivery of GPL software in CRAN packages

2011-06-27 Thread Galkowski, Jan
I wondered if there were standard practices in CRAN for delivery of R source implementing functions in R packages. I has encountered a couple of packages where the gzipped version of source contains very little, primarily the Help files describing the functions in the package. In some cases I

Regarding the subject, I want to thank the many respondents for clarifying the nature of the relationship between R and the GPL, as well as giving help with the structure of R-delivered source. I want to emphasize I meant nothing at all harsh or accusatory in my email. I did say I had access

[R] documenting quirky behavior of as.POSIXct, as.POSIX.lt regarding AM/PM, possibly other cases

2009-05-05 Thread Galkowski, Jan
I wanted to put this on the R Wiki, but found the suitable pages were read-only. I wanted to get it out in public to save people work. I was converting dates like 2009/03/26 01:00:00 AM using as.POSIXct. I found that using a format of %Y/%m/%d %I:%M:%S %p did not work correctly to

[snip] Discarding actual data points always makes me nervous. Sometimes the points we want to discard are actually the most interesting. No doubt this is true, and there's a lot of information in those outliers, a lot of structure. For instance, in this case, one part of the outlier

[R] smoothest way to upgrade R, say from 2.6.1 to 2.6.2?

2008-03-13 Thread Galkowski, Jan
Like many software assemblies, R is updated frequently. Also, it creates its own release-numbered directory when it is installed. Packages get dumped into the subdirectory library. I have a personal habit of storing documents related to R packages in the doc subdirectory. Here are my questions.

[R] the woes of NA

2007-12-30 Thread Galkowski, Jan
Joyful. I'm adapting a FORTRAN 77 package for use with R. Pretty straightforward. Except for a glitch it took me some time to figure out. This existing package has subroutines which have parameters called NA. So, I called subroutines like bnodes - function(n, lst, lptr, lend, nodes, nb, na,

[R] voronoi/Delaunay/Dirichlet tessellation on sphere in R or S?

There's Renka's STRIPACK, and TRIPACK, respectively, ACM TOMS Algorithms 772 and 751, and there's the R package deldir which does the Delaunay for a plane, but does anyone have or know of the tessellation in R for a sphere? Also, is there a standard indexing scheme for Delaunay facets, and

[R] convex optimization package for R, specifically semidefinite programming

2007-11-14 Thread Galkowski, Jan
Recently, a package for convex optimization was announced for Python, based upon the LP solver GLPK, the SDP solver in DSDP5, and the LP and QP solvers in MOSEK. I'm aware GLPK is available for R, but wondered if anyone had good packages for convex optimization along these lines for R. TIA.
