Hi I have a list of 12000 rational numbers as inputs, running some of R functions will surly accumulate some round-off errors, Is there a way to have R do its calculations using rational numbers as input to minimize the round-off error? thanks --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Try RSiteSearch('rational numbers'). Duncan Murdoch
