Hi, I'm trying to calculate some functions loop, unfortunately my data are decimal numbers that not allow me to get an accurate estimate. I do not want to use neither "round "nor "signif" but I would prefer to have all the information available, (the function loop is generic so you should adapt to all data, not just those in particular). The approximation error is multiplied in subsequent operations (I calculate the median and then the mad and so on...) and so eg. instead of getting 1.000 I get 1.0003.
I saw that there is a package Rmpfr but I have problems loading the package gmp also I do not know how to use it. thanks -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/How-to-menage-decimals-in-order-to-obtain-accurate-estimates-tp4657659.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
