seen QuasR (and/or gmapR, Rsubread, etc.)? one can run BowTie, gsnap, etc. from R this certainly makes it easier for me to remember how I did some ChIP-seq or BS-seq or RNA-seq processing a year ago, when it turns out I need to add a sample or samples and carry on with an existing analysis pipeli

There are utilities ( e.g. dotkit, and modules) which facilitate version management, basically creating on the fly PATH and env setups, if you are comfortable keeping all that around. David -Original Message- From: bioconductor-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:bioconductor-boun...@r-proj

[Rd] do_fileinfo / file.info test for file IS directory during package load pointlessly stresses NIS by getting username / group info

2013-03-06 Thread Alex Brown
*Summary: * During package loading the library function calls file.info to determine if a file is a directory. This uselessly invokes getpwuid and getgrgid which can be expensive if the user/group database are held on a network. Note that file_test ALSO uses file.info for the same purpose Sugg

[Rd] lapply coerce data.frame to a list

2013-03-06 Thread qwumd
Hi R-devel, When using lapply upon data.frame, I notice lapply coerces data.frame to list before calling internal lapply function. R> lapply function (X, FUN, ...) {     FUN <- match.fun(FUN)     if (!is.vector(X) || is.object(X))     X <- as.list(X)     .Internal(lapply(X, FUN)) } df <-

Thanks David, I've looked into them both a bit, and I don't think the provide an approach for R (or Perl, for that matter) library management, which is the wicket I'm trying to get less sticky now. They could be useful to manage the various installations of version of R and analysis files (we'r

Re: [Rd] predict.loess() segfaults for large n?

2013-03-06 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
Thanks. This is in the netlib loess code: the size is used in Fortran (and an INTEGER) so we cannot increase it. I've added a test and thrown an error if the dimension is too large. On 01/03/2013 11:27, Hiroyuki Kawakatsu wrote: Hi, I am segfaulting when using predict.loess() (checked wit

[Rd] Printing warning messages around R_tryEval

2013-03-06 Thread Thomas Friedrichsmeier
Hi! In RKWard we use R_tryEval() at a number places to run R commands. In order to make sure that any generated warnings become visible close to the problem, we were following up (most of) these calls with Rf_PrintWarnings(). Rf_PrintWarnings() was never available in the headers (as far as I kn
