Hello,
I came across a strange behavior of expand.grid (or at least strange to me).
For certain values of one of my input variables - created by seq() - I
have to use strings (e.g ==".6") to select a row of the object
created by expand.grid(), for other values numerical (e.g. ==.8) and
for some both work. Please find an example below.
#Example
x<- seq(0,1,1/10)
y <- seq(0,1,1/10)
gridd <- expand.grid(x,y )
gridd[which( gridd[,2]=="0.6" ),] #gives me the right data
gridd[which( gridd[,2]==0.6 ) ,] #gives error message
gridd[which( gridd[,2]=="0.4" ),] #gives right data
gridd[which( gridd[,2]==0.4 ),] #gives right data
gridd[which( gridd[,2]=="0.0" ),] #gives error message
gridd[which( gridd[,2]==0.0 ),] #gives me the right data
#End of Example
I also encountered this phenomenon on another version of R and on
another computer.
Has anybody an idea what this is and how to overcome it?
Best,
Stefan
