I think Doug is correct, isn't he? For example, with a 5-dimensional array and
dims=3, colSums() sums over the first 3 dimensions (the "rows") and produces a
2-dimensional result. So the sum is over dimensions 1:dims.
By the way, S-Plus (6.1.2) documentation is also incorrect; it says "colMeans
is a 2 dimensional array consisting of the means across the last 3 dimensions"
but it's really across the first 3 dimensions.
So why has this bug report ended up in the "trashcan"?
