similar to: R-intro: function 'stderr' and 'sd'

While you are editing that, you might change its name from 'stderr' to standardError (or standard_error, etc.) so as not to conflict with base::stderr().

I stand corrected. The part "If set to 'NULL', it implies 'useNA="always"'." is even in the documentation in R 2.8.0. It was my fault not to check carefully. I wonder, why "always" was chosen for 'useNA' for exclude = NULL. Why exclude = NULL is so special? What about another 'exclude' of length zero, like character(0) (not c(),

This is an example from https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2007-May/132573.html . With R 2.7.2: > a <- c(1, 1, 2, 2, NA, 3); b <- c(2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1) > table(a, b, exclude = NULL) b a 1 2 1 1 1 2 2 0 3 1 0 <NA> 1 0 With R 3.3.1: > a <- c(1, 1, 2, 2, NA, 3); b <- c(2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1) > table(a, b, exclude = NULL) b a 1 2

By "an argument named 'use.names' is included for concatenation", I meant something like this, that someone might try. > c(as.Date("2016-01-01"), use.names=FALSE) use.names "2016-01-01" "1970-01-01" See, 'use.names' is in the output. That's precisely because 'c.Date' doesn't have 'use.names', so

In R devel r71157, 'droplevels' documentation, in "Arguments" section, says this about argument 'exclude'. passed to factor(); factor levels which should be excluded from the result even if present. Note that this was implicitly NA in R <= 3.3.1 which did drop NA levels even when present in x, contrary to the documentation. The current default is compatible with x[ ,

Removal of ans[nas] <- NA from the code of function 'ifelse' in R is not committed (yet).

I am basically fine with the change. How about using just the following? if(!is.character(exclude)) exclude <- as.vector(exclude, typeof(x)) # may result in NA x <- as.character(x) It looks simpler and is, more or less, equivalent. In factor.Rd, in description of argument 'exclude', "(when \code{x} is a \code{factor} already)" can be removed. A larger

useNA <- if (missing(useNA) && !missing(exclude) && !(NA %in% exclude)) "ifany" An example where it change 'table' result for non-factor input, from https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2005-April/069053.html : x <- c(1,2,3,3,NA) table(as.integer(x), exclude=NaN) I bring the example up, in case that the change in result is not intended.

Ah, with R 3.5.0 or R 3.4.2, but not with R 3.3.1, 'eval' inside 'for' makes compiled version behave like non-compiled version. options(error = expression(NULL)) library(compiler) enableJIT(0) f <- function(x) for (i in 1) {x; eval(expression(i))} f(is.numeric(y)) # Error: object 'y' not found fc <- cmpfun(f) fc(is.numeric(y)) # Error: object 'y' not found

I found this part in the documentation of 'factor'. 'factor(x, exclude=NULL)' applied to a factor is a no-operation unless there are unused levels: in that case, a factor with the reduced level set is returned. If 'exclude' is used it should also be a factor with the same level set as 'x' or a set of codes for the levels to be excluded.

I now realize that sys.call() doesn't expand '...' when the function is called with '...'. It just returns the call as is. If 'stopifnot' uses sys.call() instead of match.call() , the

Yes, they work now.

Another possible shortcut definition: assert <- function(exprs) do.call("stopifnot", list(exprs = substitute(exprs), local = parent.frame())) After thinking again, I propose to use ??? ? ? stop(simpleError(msg, call = if(p <- sys.parent()) sys.call(p))) - It seems that the call is the call of the frame where stopifnot(...) is evaluated. Because that is the correct context, I

I am trying once again. By just changing f <- match(xlevs[f], nlevs) to f <- match(xlevs, nlevs)[f] , function 'factor' in R devel could be made more consistent and back-compatible.
