This bug also happens to me using R 1.9.0 on Windows 2000.
Took me a long time to create a reproducible bug, but I think I have succeeded.
I suspect my test function has a bug, but I don't see anythin

The html help file for the 'library' function contains this sentence:
Note that installed.packages() returns...
The 'installed.packages' hyperlink points to 'installed.packages.html'. The

Not necessarily a bug report, but might be nice to change.
I'm using R 2.0.0 on Windows 2000.
The promptData function creates a .Rd file in which the 'usage' section is:
\usage{data()}
I've looked at several of the help files for various data sets. It looks
like the use of 'data' is being red
I've just posted an email to R-help with instructions on creating a
Firefox keyword search of the R documentation:
https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2004-November/059272.html
The method involves bookmarking the
RHOME/doc/html/search/SearchObject.html file. Currently this page is set
Hold off on this request. I don't have the details quite right. The
keyword search works, but what exactly it returns is not clear to me.
It's not the same as searching from the SearchEngine.html page.
If anybody figures this out before me, great. Otherwise I continue to
flounder around by tr
I needed to look up information about the 'jitter' argument of stripchart.
When I opened the help page for jitter I found:
jitter when jittering is used, jitter gives the amount of jittering applied.
which is slightly confusing/self-referential if you are lazy and don't
read the entire page.
I'm using R 2.0.1.
I looked in the email archives but didn't see anything on this topic.
I've noticed a surprising (to me) difference between AIC and BIC:
> methods("AIC")
[1] AIC.default* AIC.logLik*
> methods("BIC")
[1] BIC.gls*BIC.lm* BIC.lme*BIC.lmList* BIC.logLik* BIC.nls*
Th
> R does not have a BIC S3 generic function: it is in package nlme!

Sorry, I should have noticed that. Maybe my question should have been:
Since the stats package has generics for logLik and AIC, could it include
a generic for BIC?

This started when I discovered that scatter.smooth (R 2.1.0) has an
undocumented ability to use a formula as the first argument. Then I
discovered the xy.coords function, which seems like a natural fit and a
way to unify scatter.smooth with other plotting functions, so I offer here
a revised vers
I submitted a bug report (#7829) that is in the bug tracking system, but
bounced off the email list for some reason. Since then, I've come up with
a reproducible example:
Oats <- Oats[-1,]
Oats$nitro <- as.factor(Oats$nitro)
Oats.aov <- aov(yield~Block+Variety+nitro+Variety:nitro,data=Oats)
mode
This is a follow-up to my earlier posting this month. For your
consideration, here are patches for loess.R and scatter.smooth.Rd that
will allow either of the following to work:
scatter.smooth(x,y,...)
scatter.smooth(y~x,...)
Here are some test cases:
attach(cars)
scatter.smooth(speed,dist,
