Hi everyone,
>From an administrative point of view, I am supposed to stop working as a
Google Summer of Code student today at 3 pm EST. As such, I've leased a new
version of the package: 0.1.6, with links at
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/R_and_Calc
First, I should say that I will continue working on this package and won't
stop just because the Summer of Code period is over. :) However, I would be
grateful for any advice about this new release prior to 3 pm, so I can make
any changes before submitting this work for evaluation.
Below are some comments to specific people, based on advice they gave last
week.
Eike -- this new version uses "make" rather than sh scripts... Please have a
look at the makefile, because this was the first time I've actually coded in
make. To make life easy for people using the package and those coding in it,
I moved the Rserve clients (licensed under LGPL) into the package itself,
giving appropriate credit and information where necessary. I also
reorganized the code a bit to make life easy for anyone else working on the
project.
With regards to the bulky image embedding code, my apologies! I didn't
realize there was a Calc tutorial for this already.
Leo -- I implemented the Chi Square, Fisher Exact, Wilcox tests, and also
the Kaplan-Meier curve. The other two (from the survival analysis package)
will be harder to implement because there is currently no easy way to accept
an unlimited amount of formula variables as inputs using the GUI windows. I
will work on this, as well as dynamically setting array sizes (e.g.
{$A1:A(length+1)} -- this is a pretty big change, so I wanted to fix some of
the bugs and problems from version 0.1.5 before addressing this.
I also created an "About" button in the "Advanced" sub menu which gives all
sorts of diagnostic information. Please let me know if this works.
Also, I think the problem with plotting had to do with where I stored the
temporary image file... I changed this, so please let me know if it works
for you! I tested the tool on Ubuntu, Fedora Core, and Windows XP and it
worked in all cases, so I hope Windows 2K will also cooperate now.
Again, comments are welcome! Thank you to all who have already sent them.
Thanks,
Wojciech
