Hello,everyone: I met this notation when I read the original code of function "quantile".There is one sentence as below: >eps <- 100 * .Machine$double.eps
when I input ".Machine$double.eps" in R, it returns "[1] 2.220446e-16". Can anyone show me the exact meaning about that? thanks Saji from Shanghai ______________________________________________ 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.
