[Rd] what's the C code for La.svd function?

2007-02-07 Thread Lei Wu
Hi R gurus, If I want to bring back the old La.svd in R-2.3.0, which C files I need to bring back? The current La.svd() runs much faster, but not robust enough. It failed on some datasets. I would like to bring back the old one even it's slower. Thank you very much for any hint. Lei

Hans-Peter and other R developers, How are you? Have you made any progess with embedding Url's in Excel? Well, I have been busy thinking of more things for you to do;) My colleagues in the lab are not R literate, and some are barely computer literate, so I give them everything in Excel workbook
