Hello,
since all of the discussion is so much centered around real NaNs:
Don't we have the special NA-NaNs to mark data as missing instead of the usual
NaNs?
Sorry if the question is stupid, but I'm not fluent with the NaN-toolbox, yet I
remember I was glad to find NA to be different from NaN, so I could discern
missing data from corrupted results of calculations.
Later,
Alex
