use pmin instead of min. hth Matthias On 12.02.2013 16:41, dan wang wrote:
Hi All,Can any one help to explain why min and max function couldn't work in the integrate function directly. For example, if issue following into R: integrand <- function(x) {min(1-x, x^2)} integrate(integrand, lower = 0, upper = 1) it will return this: Error in integrate(integrand, lower = 0, upper = 1) : evaluation of function gave a result of wrong length However, as min(U,V) = (U+V)/2-abs(U-V)/2 Below code working; integrand <- function(x){(1-x+x^2)/2-0.5*abs(1-x-x^2)}integrate(integrand, lower = 0, upper = 1)0.151639 with absolute error < 0.00011 I am confused...
