Not likely that anyone can explain, as there is not enough information in your email.
Including the contents of the freqtest.txt file was a good idea, as the posting guide suggests (the posting guide is that clearly labeled bit at the bottom that looks like this: PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html Check it out! It is cool.) Additionally, include the command sessionInfo() and its output from all machines you refer to so maintainers know which versions of software you are running. Also, include the output you obtained from your code (with your code being a self-contained and reproducible set of R commands). Finally, describe what the difference is and why the difference is problematic (i.e. don't report machine precision differences, or sign differences for PCA results - PCA vector directions are arbitrary modulo 180 degrees). > I also tried mean(xrcc2) and sd(xrcc2) on both machines, the results are the > same. > Please explain. The R maintainers do an amazing job of creating numerically stable platform-independent software, so you get the same results almost everywhere. (Thank you R core!)
