Hi useRs, As the maintainer of the Distribution task view ( http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/Distributions.html) for more than two years, the following feedback exercise should have been done earlier. But late is better than never! I start this discussion to get your feedbacks/suggestions on

Among many solutions, I generally use the following code, which avoids the ideal average individual, by considering the mean across of the predicted values: averagingpredict - function(model, varname, varseq, type, subset=NULL) { if(is.null(subset)) mydata - model$data else

Hi Simon, That makes a lot of sense to me. I'll start reading about R's event loop signaling. I'm not sure what the best method will be for me to flag the completeness of a threaded process in my case. In abstract it seems that I could get R's event loop to look for any type of flag. I think key
