This is just a note that R would get a lot more citations if the recommended citation was an article in a recognised journal or from a recognised publisher. I use R in work leading to publications often, and I strongly want to give the R core team credit for their work. However I find that I ca

I noticed that, unlike similar functions, 'by' does not use match.fun, e.g. > by(iris, iris$Species, "summary") Error in FUN(X[[1]], ...) : couldn't find function "FUN" The 'by' code should have an initial line of: FUN <- match.fun(FUN) __ R-devel@r-p
