Re: [Rd] RFC: Matrix package: Matrix products (%*%, crossprod, tcrossprod) involving "nsparseMatrix" aka sparse pattern matrices

2015-03-20 Thread Dr. Peter Ruckdeschel
Hi Martin, many thanks to you and Doug for providing the Matrix package in the first place, and, second, for taking us into this decision. I have only some minor comments to make: + wherever there is a usual function call involved, using an argument "boolean" as you proposed seems perfect to

[Rd] directives to explicitely exclude objects from import into namespaces

2013-09-06 Thread Dr. Peter Ruckdeschel
Hi, recently R CMD check --as-cran has noticed some more issues with package namespace imports with the recommended remedy to use importFrom() and friends. In my case, there was only a conflict restricted to some few imports, while I would prefer to still import all the non-conflicting objects, m

[Rd] large sysdata.rda file --- strategies?

2013-02-07 Thread Dr. Peter Ruckdeschel
Hi, to speed up computations in our RobASt family of packages, we use interpolation on a grid of precomputed values which we save together with the interpolating functions (results of splinefun essentially) in sysdata.rda in the R folder of our pkg. After adding grids for some more models, this f

[Rd] New feature for download.packages(): optional resolution of package dependencies

2011-03-17 Thread Dr. Peter Ruckdeschel
Hi r-devels, may I ask for an enhancement for download.packages() to optionally resolve package dependencies similarly to the respective functionality in install.packages() ? This would be a major help in compiling a large number of packages (e.g. by means of download.view() from pkg ctv) for lat

esponding recommendation to the "Writing R extensions" manual? I have just uploaded a quick patch for the sqrt() and solve() ".Rd" files of distrMod inserting a "." at the closing brace of \eqn{} in both cases. Should be on CRAN soon... Best, Peter -- Dr.

[Rd] R CMD check warning "no visible binding for global variable" and hasArg()

2008-08-22 Thread Dr. Peter Ruckdeschel
ument but "..." is. Clearly, then 'x' in general will have no binding. I am not sure whether this is of general interest, but I think it should not be too difficult to check whether this "missing binding" occurs within a call to hasArg() [and then not to issue the warning].
