-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 While I'm not an R expert, I have used R on Windows XP. Now I've moved to Ubuntu (Intrepid), and I'm trying to configure R to work with the Gelman and Hill _Data Analysis Using Regression and Multilevel/Hierarchical Models_. So far, it's not working.
I start by following the instructions for installing arm and BRugs at <http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~gelman/bugsR/>. At first, it kept failing, but I kept installing more Ubuntu packages. Finally, I installed the science-statistics package, and things seemed to work: I got the required packages to show up as loaded when I run library(). When I run library(arm) (FWIW, I'm using ESS in Emacs), I get ,---- | > library(arm) | Loading required package: MASS | Loading required package: Matrix | Loading required package: lattice | | Attaching package: 'Matrix' | | | The following object(s) are masked from package:stats : | | xtabs | | Loading required package: lme4 | Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : | function 'cholmod_start' not provided by package 'Matrix' | Error: package 'lme4' could not be loaded `---- even though ,---- | > library() | Packages in library '/home/bill/R/i486-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.7': | | arm Data Analysis Using Regression and | Multilevel/Hierarchical Models | coda Output analysis and diagnostics for MCMC | Matrix Sparse and Dense Matrix Classes and Methods | R2WinBUGS Running WinBUGS and OpenBUGS from R / S-PLUS | | Packages in library '/usr/lib/R/site-library': | . | . | latticeExtra Extra Graphical Utilities Based on Lattice | lme4 Linear mixed-effects models using S4 classes | lmtest Testing Linear Regression Models | . | . | | Packages in library '/usr/lib/R/library': | | . | . | . | | Warning message: | In library() : library ‘/usr/local/lib/R/site-library’ contains no packages `---- and ,---- | > library(help = arm) | | Information on package 'arm' | | Description: | | Package: arm | Version: 1.1-17 | Date: 2008-11-25 | Title: Data Analysis Using Regression and | Multilevel/Hierarchical Models | Author: Andrew Gelman <gel...@stat.columbia.edu>, Yu-Sung Su | <ys...@columbia.edu>, Masanao Yajima | <my2...@columbia.edu>, Jennifer Hill | <jh1...@columbia.edu>, Maria Grazia Pittau | <gra...@stat.columbia.edu>, Jouni Kerman | <jo...@kerman.com> and Tian Zheng | <tzh...@stat.columbia.edu> | Maintainer: Yu-Sung Su <ys...@columbia.edu> | Depends: methods, R (>= 2.6.0), MASS, Matrix (>= 0.999375-10), | lme4 (>= 0.999375-16), R2WinBUGS | Suggests: car, foreign | Description: R functions for processing lm, glm, mer and polr | outputs. | URL: http://www.stat.columbia.edu/~gelman/software/ | License: GPL (>= 2) | Packaged: Tue Nov 25 15:26:57 2008; SUYS | Built: R 2.7.1; ; 2008-12-17 21:31:22; unix | | Index: | | GO-class Function to Recall Last Source File | balance Functions to compute the balance statistics | bayesglm Bayesian generalized linear models. | bayespolr Bayesian Ordered Logistic or Probit Regression | binnedplot Binned Residual Plot | coefplot Generic Function for Making Coefficient Plot | contr.bayes.ordered Contrast Matrices | corrplot Correlation Plot | display Functions for Processing lm, glm, mer and polr | Output | fround Formating the Rounding of Numbers | invlogit Inverse logistic function | lalonde Lalonde Dataset | matching Single Nearest Neighborhood Matching | model.matrix.bayes Construct Design Matrices | multicomp.plot Multiple Comparison Plot | rescale Function for Standardizing by Centering and | Dividing by 2 sd's | residual.plot residual plot for the observed values | se.coef Extract Standard Errors of Model Coefficients | sigma.hat Extract Residual Errors | sim Functions to Get Posterior Distributions | standardize Function for Standardizing Regression | Predictors by Centering and Dividing by 2 sd's | traceplot Trace plot of bugs object | triangleplot Triangle Plot `---- To demonstrate that things aren't well, ,---- | > display() | Error: could not find function "display" `---- Any suggestions on next steps? The best I found in searching was that I needed to load certain packages in Ubuntu, and I hoped I had done that when I finally loaded science-statistics.
