I think if(identical(version$language,"R")) { } else { } will work, and is sufficiently sophisticated to satisfy most tastes. cheers, Rolf Turner rolf@math.unb.ca

The solution to the problem is trivial **in theory**. Numerical considerations might bite you; I dunno. Let your vector of observations be Y and assume Y ~ N(X beta, Delta) where Delta = diag{sigma_1

Use R. (a) It's generally better (e.g. plotmath()) and (b) it's free. This is not only good for you from a practical point of view, but it's good in **principle**. Software **should** be free -- in b

I cannot for the life of me fathom why **anyone** would use SPLUS anymore. No one that I know does so. All use R. The only problem that ever arises is of the nature of ``Whoops! I have this data set

What does ``significantly more predictive'' mean? Do you mean ``example''? I dare say it doesn't. The foregoing makes no sense. You can only do a chi-squared (likelihood ratio) test in respect of **n

Thanks! I edited the LIBRARY_FLAGS file in $(SHOME)/cmd and changed cc to gcc -- and bingo, it ran. I'm still a bit puzzled, but. Why does the damned thing need a C compiler at all? There is no c cod

Thanks Bill. I already (at Don Kobayashi's suggestion) made a change of cc to gcc. Didn't do anything with the flags, but it seemed to work anyway. I'll go through the procedure more carefully now, a

OK -- if it's thesis work, consider this to be a consultation. (No charge, of course!) It seems to me that the problem is quite simple; you need to consider two cases: Case 1: Z.bar not equal to 0. (
