Hi all.
I may missing something here, but if I do summary.default(1:9999), I get:
Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max.
1 2500 5000 5000 7500 9999
but if I do summary.default(1:10001) I get:
Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max.
1 2501 5001 5001 7501 10000
i.e. Max is rounded to 10000.
What's wrong?
My system:
_
platform i486-pc-linux-gnu
arch i486
os linux-gnu
system i486, linux-gnu
status

minor 3.1
year 2006

Try summary(1:10001, digits = 5) or old <- options(digits = 8) summary(1:10001) Note default for digits= in: args(summary.default) On 6/12/06, Stefano Calza <stecalza at tiscali.it> wrote:> Hi all. > > I may missing something here, but if I do summary.default(1:9999), I get: > > Min. 1st Qu.

Try reading the help page: digits: integer, used for number formatting with 'signif()' (for 'summary.default') or 'format()' (for 'summary.data.frame'). and> summary(1:10001, digits=7)Min. 1st Qu.
