Re: [Rd] 'is.integer' (PR#13671)

2009-04-22 Thread Tony Plate
is.integer() is one of those functions with a name that can be confusing -- it looks at the underlying storage type of its argument (e.g., integer, floating point, character, etc.) not at the value stored in the argument. So, the type of behavior you see is this: > is.integer(1) [1] FALSE > i

Dear R experts, You are being a bit harsh on this user. He simply doesn't understand the distinction between "object of type integer" and "integer-valued object", which is actually fairly subtle. On Wed, Apr 22, 2009 at 1:45 PM, wrote: > This is a very simple function that seems not to be worki

To the best of my knowledge this is not a bug. According to FAQ 3.3.3 "Numeric constants with no fractional and exponent (i.e., only integer) part are taken as integer in S-Plus 6.x or later, but as double in R." You can see it by invoking >storage.mode(1) [1] "double" Hence, if you really want t

I would like the default for units in print.object_size to be changed from "b" to "auto". Since this is just for the print method, it should not change any computations. Kasper __ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/li

This is a better way, it does two things a) enclose the itemize environment in a flushleft environment - this gives us much better line breaks for the verb. b) does a replace of ";" with ";| \verb|" so that each "component" of the locale gets enclosed in its own \verb command, which allows lat

Hi, I have a suggestion for the fonction arima and arima0. I think you should not call the constant an intercept because it creates confusion. It is not really an intercept but a mean. For an AR(1) the intercept mu should be defined as: X(t)=mu + phi X(t-1) + e(t) What you call intercept m
