[R] Looking for covariance function -OR- how do you search

2010-10-18 Thread Alaios
Hello everyone.,
I am looking for a covariance function this not the first time I have this type 
of problem (to find which function does something). I try in google with R 
cran 
covariance function but usually this ends with different results that do not 
help me that much.


Could you please try to advice me how to search for what function implements 
the 
functionality you want.

Best Regards
Alex

Hi Alex,

There are a couple ways.  You can install the SOS package, which has
some nice search features.  You can also use R's built in
RSiteSearch(some relevant keywords), also, if you think you are
close to what the function should be called, you can try:

 apropos(cov)
[1] ability.cov cov cov2cor covratiocov.wt
[6] discoveries recover vcov

which turns up functions with your search term in them.  To answer
your question about the function, see ?cov .

Cheers,

Josh
