It seems that Eq (2) in the vignettes for the 'contrast'

not correct. That is, the numerator on the right hand side
should be
$c' \beta$ rather than $c' \lambda$, right? If I'm correct,
could
somebody notice the author to fix it?
Do it yourself.
What do you mean? I have two questions. I assume you are
answering my
second questions. Would you please make sure that your reply is
complete to avoid any confusions?
If you think there is an error, then you should contact the
package
maintainer. Simple (and complete) as that.
If you don't want to check, then don't post with nonsense reply.
Its the advice that you could and _should_ have read in the Posting
Guide.
I'm not clear how my original post violate the posting guide
http://www.r-project.org/posting-guide.html. Would you please be
specific which item I violated?
Your use of "violated", not mine.
"For questions about functions in standard packages distributed
with R (see
the FAQ Add-on packages in R), ask questions on R-help.
I asked the questions because I'm not sure if I am a hundred percent
correct. If I am wrong, then it is not a problem with the package.
Therefore, it is perfectly OK to ask the question on r-help.
If the question relates to a contributed package , e.g., one
downloaded from
CRAN, try contacting the package maintainer first. "
You have a "question" and "it relates to a contributed package", so
the premises of the second (and not the first) sentence is satisfied.
The consequent is "contact the maintainer". Logic ... simple clear
logic applied to a declarative English sentence.
Your interpretation is perverse and I assert is completely contrary to
a sensible reading of those two sentences. Your interpretation is
doubly perverse in that it regards the package documentation which
_only_ the maintainer can adjust. I do not undertand why you are
bothering hundreds of people who can do nothing about your concerns
with these persistently obtuse questions while you are at the same
time resisting contacting the one person who could do something, the
package maintainer.
Have you tried contacting the contrast package maintainer?
