This is an off topic. Is it possible to combine a few shared library files (.so files) without changing source files of the libraries? I am not sure whether it makes sense or not. I have a few shared
Dear S-PLUS/R users: Do you know any default function or a user contributed function that can draw an ellipse with given axes and origin? Thanks for any help. Paul. -- Romance, like alcohol, should b
Many thanks to Andy Liaw for quickly reminding me of "ellipse" package in CRAN. It is apparently what I wanted. Not sure whether it will work in S-PLUS or not. But I will give it a try. Thank you. Pa
Dear S-PLUS users: I recently experienced a weird problem of Winhelp in sqpe: If I start S-PLUS 2000 in a Win98se box with sqpe in a dos window or in a Emacs+ESS window and use ?function.name or help

Sorry for this late response. I have been away for a while, and only received this message today. I have an S-PLUS package GFCURE, which can do your job. It fits parametric cure models with many dist
I am curious whether it is possible to start a postscript graphics device in S-PLUS that can produce a multiple-page postscript file. If the built-in postscript() cannot do this, is there any add-on
Dear Greg, Thank you so much for your helpful reply. I played with postscript() again and found that you're right. I thought the ps file was not created properly when I saw warning messages from Gsvi
I have used sqpe all the time. But I can't remember exactly where it is documented in the manuals. I checked my autoexec.bat and believed that the following two lines make sqpe.exe work: SET ALWAYS_P
I used to create the DLLs in VC++6.0 by following the instructions in the Programmer's manual and defined DLL_LOAD during compilation. Recently, I tried to use a different name, say FILE_DLL instead
Many thanks to Brian Ripley and Hong Ooi for their quick replies. Their comments, particular those from Brian, make me believe that it must be my fault, and indeed it is. I forgot to change DLL_LOAD
Dear S-PLUS users, The S-PLUS manual shows that family = poisson(link = identity) is legitimate in glm. However, following is what I got Error in .Fortran("glmfit",: subroutine glmfit: 62 Inf value(s
Many thanks to Brian for his suggestion. I tried the two methods above, and they all made glm run without errors, but with warning messages. For example, my modified glm.links[, "identity"]$initializ
Many thanks to Terry Therneau and Brian Ripley for their further suggestions which solved my questions. Both methods yield results similar to those reported in Agresti's book except that the s.e. of
Dear S-PLUS users or developers, I know that S-PLUS 2000 comes with a default value of 2147483647 for options()$memory. My question is: Can I increase this default value to, say, 10GB (Suppose that I
I would like to thank Brian Ripley and James Holtman for their quick and definitive answer to my question. Brian reminds me that 2GB should be enough to 75MB data set. But I simply called coxph in S-
Dear S-PLUS users, This is an off-topic question, but I think some of you may know the answer. In SAS, is there any way to get baseline survival estimates from PHREG when survival data are presented
I wrote an S-PLUS/C program package "gfcure" to fit survival data with parametric cure models. It is available from StatLib (http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/DOS/S/). HTH. Paul. -- ___________________________
Dear S-PLUS users, When I tried the example given in S-PLUS 2000 Statistics Guide Vol 2, pp. 293-295 in S-PLUS 2000, it worked well as follows: ovarian) Call: coxph(formula = Surv(futime, fustat) ~ r
I found survfit.coxph always returns survival estimates for all strata if strata() appears in the call to coxph, even when newdata is given in survfit.coxph. I suppose that any row in newdata only co
