------- Message original -------- Sujet : My first R package tutorial Date : Mon, 04 Apr 2011 11:28:53 +0200 De : Uwe Ligges <ligges@statistik.tu-dortmund.de> [mailto:ligges@statistik.tu-dortmund.de] Organisation : Fakultät Statistik, Technische Universität Dortmund Pour : Uwe Ligges <ligges@statistik.tu-dortmund.de> [mailto:ligges@statistik.tu-dortmund.de] Dear participants of the "My first R package" tutorial at the IBS Channel Network conference, the tutorial is scheduled from 9:00 am to 12:30 am including a break. This means the amount of time we will have is rather restricted. Therefore, we all need to be well prepared to make the tutorial for all participants as successful as possible. Being well prepared means for the participants: - Please bring your fully charged laptop to the tutorial - Please download the course material (slides as PDF and example files) in advance. It is available from: http://www.statistik.tu-dortmund.de/~ligges/MyFirstRpackage/ [http://www.statistik.tu-dortmund.de/~ligges/MyFirstRpackage/] I still need to shorten. ;-) - Please have a recent version of R installed on your laptop, i.e. R-release = R-2.12.2 should be most appropriate - Please have some tools installed: + binutils and make + gcc (particularly the C, C++ and Fortran part) + some working TeX distribution + Perl While Linux users probably have everything mentioned above installed already (but please check), Windows users can install all the relevant tools except TeX easily by downloading and installing http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/Rtools212.exe [http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/Rtools212.exe] (appropriate for R-2.12.x) from Duncan Murdoch's web page. When asked, please agree that the installers updates your PATH settings, so that the relevant parts are in the OS' search path already. If you do not have a TeX distributions installed already, please do so. I'd recommend the MiKTeX distribution (http://miktex.org/ [http://miktex.org/]). If you do not manage to get it working: don't worry, we will find out what failed before/during/after the tutorial. If most participants have the prerequisites installed in advance, we can move a lot quicker to the more interesting parts of package building ... Course material (slides as PDF and example file) are available from http://www.statistik.tu-dortmund.de/~ligges/MyFirstRpackage/ [http://www.statistik.tu-dortmund.de/~ligges/MyFirstRpackage/] I still need to shorten. ;-) Looking forward to meeting you in Bordeaux, Uwe Ligges -- Cécile Proust-Lima Chargée de recherche INSERM, PhD [http://www.u-bordeaux2.fr/] INSERM U897 - ISPED Université Bordeaux Segalen 146 rue Léo Saignat 33076 Bordeaux cedex France Tél. +33 (0)557574579 â?ª Fax +33 (0)556240081 biostat.isped.u-bordeaux2.fr/ [http://biostat.isped.u-bordeaux2.fr/] www.u-bordeaux2.fr [http://www.u-bordeaux2.fr/] -- Clarice Garcia Borges Demétrio Departamento de Ciências Exatas Escola Superior de Agricultura "Luiz de Queiroz" Universidade de São Paulo, 13418-900 Piracicaba, SP Brasil phone: 55 19 34294144 R216 Biometry, the active pursuit of biological knowledge by quantitative methods.? ?
