Hello,
many thanks!
BTW: I read your book. :)
It's quite good.
Thank you.
But I didn'tfoud the precision-stuff in it.
Adding information about this topic in the next
edition might be a good idea.
These numeric things are an interesting and important topic, of cours.
Question is how much to add, since it can be a whole book of its own. I
am teaching "Computergetützte Statistik" (i.e. something like numerics
for applied statisticians) this term anyway.
Best,
Uwe
Nevertheless it explains crucial points very good,
and from that starting point, it's easier to understand the
manuals/help-pages.
Ciao,
Oliver

Hello,
can the displayed and/or used precision of numbers be
configured? And if... how?
See ?.Machine for the internally used precision.
See ?options and ?format/?formatC/?print for the printed precision.
