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

Related to the length of 'ifelse' result, I want to say that "example of different return modes" in ?ifelse led me to perceive a wrong thing in the past. ## example of different return modes: yes <- 1:3 no <- pi^(0:3) typeof(ifelse(NA, yes, no)) # logical typeof(ifelse(TRUE, yes, no)) # integer typeof(ifelse(FALSE, yes, no)) # double As

Just stating, in 'ifelse', 'test' is not recycled. As I said in "R-intro: length of 'ifelse' result" (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2016-September/073136.html), ifelse(condition, a, b) returns a vector of the length of 'condition', even if 'a' or 'b' is longer. On current 'ifelse' code in R: * The part ans[nas] <- NA

All, Martin: Thanks for this and all the other things you are doing to both drive R forward and engage more with the community about things like this. Apologies for missing this discussion the first time it came around and if anything here has already been brought up, but I wonder what exactly you mean when you want recycling behavior. Specifically, based on an unrelated discussion with Henrik

Dear R-devel readers, ( = people interested in the improvement and development of R). This is not the first time that this topic is raised. and I am in now state to promise that anything will result from this thread ... Still, I think the majority among us has agreed that 1) you should never use ifelse(test, yes, no) if you know that length(test) == 1, in which case if(test) yes

Dear R experts, How to find out the index of minimum or maxmum number in a vetor or data.frame? For example, a= n price 1 50 -2 100 0 200 -1 300 ...... I want to find out the row which the n is the smallest or largestest and extract the price. Thanks Ted -- View this message in context:

Hugh, (Note I speak for myself only and not for R-core) Thanks for looking into this. I think it's great to have community members that are interested in contributing to R and helping it continue to get better. And I think, and my local experiments bear out, that using anyNA as a fastpass condition does allow us to get a significant speedup over what's in there now. To do so, though, I

Hi R-masters I have this system of equations R(x,t)= a(t)+b(x,t) a(t) = c + d*t b(t) = e + f*t where x is a vetor of age<-c(37,42,47,52,57,62,67,72,77,83), t is vetor of year (1980:2000) R(x,t) = Rate of mortality in age x on year t a(t) = base mortality on year t b(x,t) = exponential rate of mortality for age x on year t b(t) = exponential rate of mortality on year t I wish is possible

Hi, It turns out that the 'test' vector in ifelse(test, yes, no) is not recycled if it is shorter than the other arguments, e.g. > ifelse(TRUE, seq(10), -seq(10)) [1] 1 Is there any particular reason it is not recycled? If there is one indeed a warning message might be in order when someone calls ifelse with a shorter 'test'. This is R1.8.1 on RH-7.3 Thanks, Vadim
