Re: [R] Cannot calculate mean() for double vector

It looks like I should read the documentation a bit more carefully. Simply ignoring the NA values when calculating the mean *is* a much better solution. (Although having 10 values out of a vector of 4 or so set to zero is *not* going to bias the mean toward zero in any significant way.) Thanks

(x_ema)), 0) > which (is.na(x_ema)) integer(0) The mean() call works now and I can get on with my work. I'll have to remember to condition the data like this in the future. Thanks for the help! Reuben Bellika __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list h
