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

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

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.

Yes, they work now. I mentioned them partly because the commit description said overflow for large n and partly to be considered for regression tests. -------------------------------------------- On Sat, 19/8/17, Martin Maechler <maechler at stat.math.ethz.ch> wrote: Subject: Re: [Rd] Issues of R_pretty in src/appl/pretty.c Cc: r-devel at r-project.org Date: Saturday, 19 August, 2017,

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.

I have suggestions for function 'diff.default' in R. Suggestion 1: If the input is matrix, always return matrix, even if empty. What happens in R 2.15.2: > rbind(1:2) # matrix [,1] [,2] [1,] 1 2 > diff(rbind(1:2)) # not matrix integer(0) > sessionInfo() R version 2.15.2 (2012-10-26) Platform: i386-w64-mingw32/i386 (32-bit) locale: [1] LC_COLLATE=English_United

In example for function 'stop' in R, there is options(error = expression(NULL)) with comment # don't stop on stop(.) << Use with CARE! >> I was interested, wanted to know how "don't stop on stop(.)" was. So, I tried it. Typing example(stop) at the R prompt and pressing ENTER give this. > example(stop) stop> options(error = expression(NULL))

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.

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

In R 2.15.2 (and not before), in the definition of function 'diffinv.vector' in package stats, there is difference <- as.integer(differences) I believe differences <- as.integer(differences) is intended, because 'difference' is not referenced anywhere. However, without conversion of 'differences' to integer, 'diffinv.vector' in R 2.15.2 works OK. Also,

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

My points: - The 'withCallingHandlers' construct that is used in current 'stopifnot' code has no effect. Without it, the warning message is the same. The overridden warning is not raised. The original warning stays. - Overriding call in error and warning to 'cl.i' doesn't always give better outcome. The original call may be "narrower" than 'cl.i'. I

Looking at the code of function 'table' in R devel r71227, I see that the part "remove NA level if it was added only for excluded in factor(a, exclude=.)" is not quite right. In is.na(a) <- match(a0, c(exclude,NA), nomatch=0L) , I think that what is intended is a[a0 %in% c(exclude,NA)] <- NA . So, it should be is.na(a) <- match(a0, c(exclude,NA),

In R devel r72789, the added part in 'factor' documentation (factor.Rd) is the following. Undocumentedly for a long time, \code{factor(x)} loses all \code{\link{attributes}(x)} but \code{"names"}, and resets \code{"levels"} and \code{"class"}. In the code of function 'factor', names(x) is copied to the result. As I mentioned before, names(x) is _not_

In "An Introduction to R" Version 3.3.1, in "4.2 The function tapply() and ragged arrays", after stderr <- function(x) sqrt(var(x)/length(x)) , there is a note in brackets: Writing functions will be considered later in [Writing your own functions], and in this case was unnecessary as R also has a builtin function sd().
