Dear R-devel
Thought I better report this. An example is shown below.
> vec <- rnorm(100)+10.5
> ss <- summary(vec)
> print(ss)
Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max.
8.433 9.886 10.450 10.560 11.300 12.720
> for(kk in 1:length(ss)) print(ss[[kk]])
[1] 8.433
[1] 9.886
[1] 10.45
[1] 10.56
[1] 11.3
[1] 12.72
> print(mean(vec))
[1] 10.56399
Note the difference between 10.56399 and 10.560.
It may confuse users that the number of significant digits is smaller than the
number of digits shown by the print of a summary object (at least it confused
me).
Yours
Ole F. Christensen
