Hi,

I get a segmentation fault in eval.c:
do_set (call=0x8ce166c, op=0x82b43b8, args=0x8ce1650, rho=0x8acf218)
at eval.c:1309
1309switch (NAMED(s)) {

The instruction is
0x080becf1 do_set+177:movzbl (%eax),%edx

and %eax contains a non-accessible address
(gdb) x/x $eax
0x4a5bf008: Cannot access memory at address 0x4a5bf008
in another try it was
(gdb) x/x $eax
0x59a5a008: Cannot access memory at address 0x59a5a008

This segmentation fault occurs reproducible in a long simulation script.
However, I don't know the place in the .R file. I would like to isolate
the bug but don't know how. I attached the gdb session. I use R 2.1.0 on
a Linux machine (Athlon64). Maybe a package that I wrote and use for the
simulation clobbers some memory (although I already added some sanity
checks). But please let me know when you hear about this bug another
time (or have an idea how to debug this or have a solution).

Thank you,

Andreas

[Rd] R OS X

2005-05-24 Thread Volker Runkel

Hi,

with newest R.app (1.11) / R2.1.0a

if a package is installed for the current user, it is not installed  
properly (does not get an installed version entry and is not  
loadable). If installed system wide it works.


The package I installed is xgobi.

MAC OS X 10.4.1

Volker

Hi Volker,

Just tried this with 1 of the few packages I had not installed yet  
systemwide.


In the Startup preferences I selected to add $Home/R/Library and  
restarted R.


Then installed package its and loaded the library and ran the example.

Can you try if that sequence works for you?

A better alias for Mac questions is R-SIG-Mac.

Regards,
Rob

[Rd] Reversing axis in a log plot (PR#7894)

2005-05-24 Thread marquardt . christian
Full_Name: Christian Marquardt
Version: 2.1.0
OS: Linux (Redhat 9)
Submission from: (NULL) (151.170.240.10)


Following the advice of a reader of R-help, I would now like to submit this as a
bug report:

Say we have

  x = seq(1,3, by = 0.01)
  y = exp(x)

Plotting and reversing linear axis is fine

   plot(x,y)
   plot(x,y, ylim = c(30,1))

as is a usual log-plot:

  plot(x,y, log = y, ylim = c(1,30))

However,

  plot(x,y, log = y, ylim = c(30,1))

fails with

  Error in axis(2, ...) : log - axis(), 'at' creation, _SMALL_ range:
invalid {xy}axp or par;
 axp[0]= 10, usr[0:1]=(34.3721,0.872801)
  In addition: Warning message:
  CreateAtVector log(from axis()): usr[0] = 34.3721  0.872801 = usr[1] !


According to Petr Pikal petr.pikal -at- precheza.cz, replacing the ylim
argument by ylim = c(30,1.2) helps in the above example; but in my real world
applications, it's actually difficult to find a working value for ylim.

I hope this is useful,

  Christian.

[Rd] Non-nested testing and anova.lm()

2005-05-24 Thread roger koenker

I'd like to elicit comments on what I am sure is an ancient topic, but
one for which  I can't seem to google up a satisfactory reference.

I'm curious about the laissez-faire attitude adopted in anova.lm
and friends regarding non-nested hypothesis tests.  I was under
the misapprehension until yesterday that attempts to test
non-nested hypotheses, i.e. compare lm objects with non-nested
design matrices, produced an error.  On the contrary, not even a
warning is generated.  The Ur text on this sort of thing (aka The
White Book)  seems to suggest (p 210) that test statistics  are
computed only when models are nested, but ?anova.lm is quite
clear:

 For all but the first model, the change in degrees of freedom  
and sum

 of squares is also given. (This only make statistical sense if the
 models are nested.)  It is conventional to list the models from
 smallest to largest, but this is up to the user.

My motivation for the question is that I'm considering  reworking the
code for anova.rq in my quantreg package. Currently, I have a rather
half-hearted attempt to check nesting using variable names, and
was considering implementing something more algebraic based
on explicitly looking at subspace inclusions, but now I'm wondering
if R's caveat emptor policy might be a viable alternative.  Any
comments would be welcome.
