[Rd] R crash with complex matrix algebra when using EISPACK=TRUE

2006-01-02 Thread Ole F. Christensen
Dear subscribers of R-devel I am experiencing that R crashes (further details are given below) in some complex matrix calculations when EISPACK=TRUE has been specified in eigen(). I discovered the behaviour some months ago just after the release of R-2.2.0, and it has been lying on my desk

2006-01-02 Thread Ross Boylan
I would like to checkpoint some of my calculations in R, specifically those using optim. As far as I can tell, R doesn't have this facility, and there seems to have been little discussion of it. checkpointing is saving enough of the current state so that work can resume where things were left
