We know... PR#6448 is the same thing. (The problem is that rank() follows sort() which by default sorts NA's to the end of the sorted vector. Thus NA's get a high rank and if both x and y have NA at the same time, a high spearman correlation is calculated.) It is fixed in the patched R version and also in the development sources (soon to be 1.9.0). -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
