Dear all, Either I'm being totally blind now (as you know, the eyes are the first thing that is blinded :-)), or something is missing in "An Introduction to R". The section heading of section 5.7.1 is "Multiplication, inversion and solving linear equations", and since I was looking for the canonical way of inverting a matrix, this was the place to look. However, I found that solve() was not mentioned, I found that strange... Was something forgotten here? :-) I found the answer to my question in V&R, so don't be bothered about that, but I thought you'd like to be told when things are unclear in the docs.

Thanks a lot Kjetil! I've just committed a fix to this "documentation bug" for R 1.1.1, i.e. R-release/patched Martin -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- 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 !)
