Can you provide a reproducible example: see, e.g., this site for how to do so:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example Incidentally, I don't believe I can replicate your problem: > x <- data.frame(conc = sample(c(100, 1,2,3, 0.005, 0.0005, 0.00002), 250, > TRUE)) > summary(x) conc Min. : 0.00002 1st Qu.: 0.00050 Median : 1.00000 Mean : 14.88871 3rd Qu.: 3.00000 Max. :100.00000 But perhaps you should set options(digits = 10) or so Michael On Tue, Aug 7, 2012 at 4:30 PM, Rich Shepard <rshep...@appl-ecosys.com> wrote: > Some chemicals have concentrations at or below the method detection limit > (MDL; 'less-thans') of 0.005 mg/L.
