[Rd] Checking versions in Imports field?

2007-04-10 Thread Seth Falcon
Hi, Package authors can specify the minimum required version of a dependency using: Depends: somePackage (>= 1.2.3) Is there a way to demand a minimum version when importing a dependency? Version specifiers in the Imports field are currently ignored AFAICT. + seth -- Seth Falcon | Computa

Thank you Prof. Ripley for identifying the potential cause of the warnings. From what Kurt says in his email, I can wait a little while and see if the warnings for r-prerel go away in the future. On Tue, 2007-04-10 at 21:58 +0200, Kurt Hornik wrote: > > Prof Brian Ripley writes: > > > I only

Here is another check that R-2.4.1 is right. This should give 1. prod(eigen(z, symmetric = FALSE, only.values = TRUE)$values ) * prod(eigen(solve(z), symmetric = FALSE, only.values = TRUE)$values ) R-2.4.1 gives [1] 1+0i R-2.5.0 gives [1] 1.01677-0i Paul Paul Gilbert wrote: > Here is the exa

Here is the example. Pehaps others could check on other platforms. It is only the first eigenvalue that is different. I am relatively sure the old values are correct, since I compare with an alternate calculation using the expansion of a polynomial determinant. z <- t(matrix(c( 0, 0, 0, 0, 0

We are only aware of better behaviour from LAPACK 3.1 (which is what I suppose you are talking about, that is R compiled with its internal LAPACK). But in at least one case that means finding a complex set of eigenvalues where previously a real one was found. On Tue, 10 Apr 2007, Paul Gilber

I am having some trouble with a case where eigen in R-beta gives a different largest value than in previous versions of R. Other values seem to be the same. Before I spend too much time, is anyone aware of a problem (symmetric = FALSE, only.values = TRUE). Paul Gilbert ==

Hi all, If dimensions are added to a list, it will become a matrix-like hybrid that calls itself a matrix, but returns lists for subset operations. This was brought to my attention by a user that encountered such an object and was quite confused by its behavior. Although I have not found the cod
