[Rd] Use of 'any' in 3.2.1 if ... else example is incorrect R-lang.pdf (PR#1575)
Full_Name: David Ciemiewicz Version: 1.3.1 OS: Windows 2000 Submission from: (NULL) (63.192.218.208) In the R Language Manual (R-lang.pdf), section 3.2.1 "if", there is an example expression which uses the function "any".> if( any(x) <= 0 ) y <- log(1+x) else y <- log(x) > y <- if( any(x)<= 0 ) log(1+x) else log(x)However, the parenthesis are incorrect in the conditional part of the if. It should be: if ( any(x <= 0) ) y <- log(1+x) else y <- log(x) y <- if ( any(x <= 0) ) log(1+x) else log(x) However, if we are really being pedantic, this is still not correct. If any values of x are <= -1, you will still get an error. I'm still too new to R to figure out how to get what I thing I really want which would set all values less than or equal to zero to be 1. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

Not that log(0) is not an error (it is -Inf) so only x < -1 would generate an error.> I'm still too new to R to figure out how to get what I thing I really want which > would set all values less than or equal to zero to be 1.x[x <= 0] <- 1 -- Brian D.
