[R] Splines with more restrictions

I would like to generate a natural spline where the slope beyond the last knot (the right outer knot) is constrained to be 0. Is that available in some package around? _ Bendix Carstensen Senior Statistician Steno Diabetes Center Clinical Epidemiology Niels Steensens Vej 2-4 D

[R] Computing plot size in Sweave

Sometimes you want to compute the physical size of a plot based on data. In R itself this is no problem. But is there a way to compute the values of height and width in S-weave, say: <>= where xx and yy are computed and not physically written in the document? Bendix

[R] Fishy error with NAMESPACE when checking package

I am updating the Epi package. I added functions named pc.points and pc.matpoints. Erroneously I wrote pc.plot and pc.matplot in the NAMESPACE file and of course got an error from Rcmd check. So I corrected the NAMESPACE file, but I still get from r-check: * install options are ' --no-html' Loa

[R] The TeX-source for the package manual.

I have noted that the later versions of Rcmd check cleans out the directory pkg.Rcheck so that only package-manual.log and package-manual.pdf are left. Formerly the package-manual.tex was around too --- very handy for various purposes. Is there a way to generate the .tex - version of the manual

[R] The .tex version of the manual in foo.Rcheck

In version 2.8.1, running Rcmd check on the package foo would leave the file foo-manual.tex in the folder foo.Rcheck. But as of 2.9.0 only foo-manual.pdf and foo-manual.log are there. Is this intentional? Anyway it is inconvenient, because I would occasionally like to include the manual at the

[R] WinBUGS with R

Artimon, It seems that you have got the data wrong: The data structure is a list of 4 characters: > list("y","X","n","m") [[1]] [1] "y" [[2]] [1] "X" [[3]] [1] "n" [[4]] [1] "m" And that is hardly what you want, presumably you meant list("y"=y,"X"=X,"n"=n,"m"=m) ??

[R] competing risk model with time dependent covariates under R or Splus

This message was also sent to the MEDSTATS mailing list, so here is the reply I posted to that: Philippe, The machinery to use is to split follow-up time so finely that you can safely assume that rates are constant in each interval, and then just stuff it all into a Poisson model. This allows

[R] Figure environment and includegraphics options from Sweave

Tha handy thinb about the fig=TRUE option in Sweave is that you do not have to bother about filenames and starting and stpping the device. I want the the resulting LaTeX to look as: \begin{Schunk} \begin{Sinput} > x <- seq(-2 * pi, 2 * pi, 0.1) > plot(x, cos(x), type = "l", lwd = 4) \end{Sinput}
