Limits on series id?

1

I am trying to experiment with different series id values using the BLS documentation found [here](https://www.bls.gov/help/hlpforma.htm#SM). I am particularly interested in the 'State and Area employment, hours, and earnings. However,...

If there is an interest in continuing this package, I think it would be useful to have the series id code groups contained in internal datasets. Such as the super...

'array' functionality

1

Have you given any thought to `array` functionality? This may be important if people want to work with `float` values for 3D datasets. I'm sure this would be a large...

big.matrix alters R's RNG seeds

If I do the following sequence of functions calls multiple times, the outputs are always the same: ``` r set.seed(123) x

diag function

2

In reference to the SO question [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52447386/calculate-the-diagonal-of-a-big-matrix-in-r) perhaps it would be a good idea to implement the `diag` function in `bigmemory`? Given that it is just a way of accessing...

Even when `options(bigmemory.allow.dimnames = TRUE)` it appears that `deepcopy` is dropping dimnames (notably column names) when you wish to subset the columns. For example: ``` r df

Non-contiguous sub.big.matrix?

7

Currently we have `sub.big.matrix` but it explicitly states that non-contiguous subsets are not possible. It would be great if we could find a way to get this implemented before the...

Still maintained?

1

I see that much of this package hasn't been changed for several months and yet it is still ahead of CRAN. Is this development version still under development or is...

In many projects I am involved with contain features that are expected to behave monotonically. I often pursue this with libraries like xgboost where monotonicity constraints are [available](https://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/monotonic.html). Are any...

travis-tool.sh run_tests 64-bit?

2

I am trying to use travis-tool.sh on appveyor to install my R package. However, I would like it to default to the 64 bit version. Currently [the build](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/cdeterman/gpur) errors out...
