Suppose your data were represented as parallel vectors "time" and "type",
meaning that at time[i] a type[i] event occurred. You didn't say what you
wanted if there were a run of "A" or "B". If you are looking for the time
span between the last of a run of one sort of event and the first of a run

I appreciate your thoughts and some history, Marc.
My personal goal here is to both learn and if possible, be helpful.
I am just bothered when one or two people regularly chime in to remind people
that this forum should be pretty much only about base R. One way to satisfy
them is to move some
Hi,
I wasn't going to contribute to this, but I've got a couple of minutes
and the morning caffeine has hit me.
My 5 Point Plan for taking life as it comes:
1) I don't like to help people, I'd rather trick them into doing it themselves.
2) I'm lazy and intolerant. If somebody wants me to do their
Eric,
With respect to your second point, as one of the moderators for the
R-Devel list, where the same considerations apply to all "official" R
lists like R-Help here, the issue of plain text content restrictions is
multi-factorial, partly with security considerations in mind, but has
Hello,
I have a numerical variable (x) and a series of categories. I would
like to make a box plot of x against each of the categories. How can I
arrange the data so that I can accomplish it with lattice?
At the moment I got this:
```
df = data.frame(x = c(rep(1,5), rep(2,5), rep(3,5)),
y =
Kevin,
My thought was to have a specific place you can direct people to if their main
problem or question was outside the reasonable scope of this group but clearly
about R and about fairly well-used packages.
There are thousands of packages and I know if I bothered to put one out there,
I
I concur on both of Eric's suggestions below. I love R but I couldn't
imagine using it on a daily basis without "key" packages for various
regression and classification modeling problems, etc. Likewise on
being able to embed images (within reason... maybe establish a max KB or
MB file size
Re: constructive criticism to make this list more useful to more people:
Suggestion 1: accommodate questions related to non-base-R packages
This has been addressed by many already. The current
de facto situation is that such questions are asked and often answered.
Perhaps
Dear Avi et al.,
Rather than proliferating R mailing lists, why not just allow questions
on non-standard packages on the r-help list?
(1) If people don't want to answer these questions, they don't have to.
(2) Users won't necessarily find the new email list and so may post to
r-help anyway,
Good comments, Ivan.
I also have found StackOverflow to not be too helpful in a structured
conversation. I have had it and miss success with GitHub interactions.

In 2017 I ran (with Julia Silge and Spencer Graves) a session at UseR! on
navigating the R package universe.
See https://github.com/nashjc/Rnavpkg. It was well attended, and we took a few
bites out of the whale, but
probably the whale didn't notice.
A possibility has been hinted at by Duncan
This is indeed a very valid question.
IMHO, I still think that these kind of package-specific questions should have a
space on the main R mailing list, as long as these questions are about how to
do something (coding), and not bug or feature requests. Regarding tidyverse and
ggplot2 (and the
Great discussion thread.
The problem is not a mailing list. The problem is the inability to
segment questions. Segment, by keyword or sub-directory (loose word) or
any other compartmentalization.
QUESTION
What other technology options are available here beyond a mailing list?

Hallo all
I do not consider answers here unresponsive or unfriendly. Most answers point
to the way how to procced and solve the problems. Although RTFM is sometimes
the best what anybody can do (and I did it myself around 1997 when I started
with R). Hardly anybody here is flamed when he/she
Currently help for contributed packages is available on StackOverflow,
package-specific web sites and Github.
I rarely read package-specific (e.g. RStudio) web pages, and have only
posted questions there a few times, with generally unsatisfactory results.
Most package developers (including
This is an interesting issue and something I have been thinking about raising
with my fellow volunteer moderators.
I honestly don’t know what the best solution is. Personally, I would loathe
having to check multiple web-forums/mailing lists to find an answer. New users
often do not appreciate
