When compiling a package, is there any way of making the help files
(html or chtml) have separate sections for functions and data sets? When
looking at the help file for a package with a large number of help
pages, it would be nice to have the functions appear first and the data
sets appear second
I guess I was wrong there. However it does seem that it will come down
to fontsize 9 without clipping (or if it does I find it hard to see).

I would be very surprised if any version of R ever ordered strings in the
manner you want. R has no way of knowing that some digit strings nestled
amongst alphabetic characters should be treated as numbers.
To achieve what you want you need to parse the strings yourself, e.g.:
> x <- c("ABC 10"
Can someone tell me which version of R began to order
alpha-numeric strings in this manner:
"ABC 10" < "ABC 2"
rather than
"ABC 2" < "ABC 10" ?
And, is there a way to force "ABC 2"
to be ordered as a value less than "ABC 10"?
thank you,

It is not obvious to me what parameters in what model you want to fit.

Well, lm() produces an OLS solution, which are also MLE solutions for the fixed
effects. I think this is an easy way, although maybe not the best.
BHHH is a numerical approximation that can be used when a closed form solution is not
available. It is less sophisticated than Newton-Raphson.

I'm guessing you meant "fracpoly" in Stata, which is fractional polynomial

Dear all,
My friend wants to fit a model of the type
z = a x^n y^m + b,
where x, y, z are data and a, b, n, m are unknown parameters.
How can he transform this to fit in the linear regression framework?
Any help would be appreciated.
