    <p>I am interested in precisely understanding C code for R packages. But I have come across code such as <code>RANDIN</code>, <code>RANDOUT</code>, <code>UNIF</code>, <code>EPS</code> etc (are they macros?) for which I don't know where to find the implementations/definitions.</p> <p>Where can I find the code (and explanations if any) for these capitalised 'expressions'?</p> <p>An example is the <code>VR_onlineSOM</code> function inside the 'class' R package. This function has the following code written in C:</p> <pre><code>void VR_onlineSOM(double *data, double *codes, double *nhbrdist, double *alpha, double *radii, Sint *pn, Sint *pp, Sint *pncodes, Sint *rlen) { int n = *pn, p = *pp, ncodes = *pncodes; int i, j, k, nearest = 0 /* -Wall */, nind; double dm, dist, tmp; unsigned int cd; /* avoid spurious warning from gcc pre-4.3.0 */ RANDIN; for (k = 0; k &lt; *rlen; k++) { /* pick a random data point */ i = (int)(n * UNIF); /* find the nearest code 'near' */ nind = 0; dm = DOUBLE_XMAX; for (cd = 0; cd &lt; ncodes; cd++) { dist = 0.0; for (j = 0; j &lt; p; j++) { tmp = data[i + j*n] - codes[cd + j*ncodes]; dist += tmp * tmp; } if (dist &lt;= dm * (1 + EPS)) { if (dist &lt; dm * (1 - EPS)) { nind = 0; nearest = cd; } else { if(++nind * UNIF &lt; 1.0) nearest = cd; } dm = dist; } /* update all codes within radii[k] of 'nearest' */ for (cd = 0; cd &lt; ncodes; cd++) { if(nhbrdist[cd + ncodes*nearest] &gt; radii[k]) continue; for(j = 0; j &lt; p; j++) codes[cd + j*ncodes] += alpha[k] * (data[i + j*n] - codes[cd + j*ncodes]); } } } RANDOUT; } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
