Hello,

I have 2 vectors of the same mode and the same contents but I still get FALSE. 
Any ideas ?

reference <- c(11, 14, 16, 5, 4, 2,  0, 15, 9, 0)
reference
 [1] 11 14 16  5  4  2  0 15  9  0
cpgDensity
 [1] 11 14 16  5  4  2  0 15  9  0
identical(cpgDensity, reference)
[1] FALSE
mode(cpgDensity)
[1] "numeric"
mode(reference)
[1] "numeric"

The typeof() function is more informative than mode(). str() might also give some information, e.g. if one of those objects has a class:

 > x <- 1:10
 > y <- noquote(x)
 > y
 [1]  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10
 > x
 [1]  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10
 > typeof(x)
[1] "integer"
 > typeof(x)
[1] "integer"

Oops, I pasted the wrong lines above. The point is that typeof(y) also gives "integer".
 > identical(x,y)
[1] FALSE
 > str(x)
 int [1:10] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
 > str(y)
Class 'noquote'  int [1:10] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
