This is not a criticism. I'm just curious. Is there an effort to keep R comparable to S+? Or are the two languages diverging? I am doing what probably legions have done before me, and legions will after me...using R on examples from text books written with S+ code. Most of the time everything appears to be equivalent. And then there are amazing divergences in commands. For instance: S: stdev R: sd
why this difference? Other examples... S: Bootstrap R: Boot S: Jackknife R: NA S: T, F R: TRUE, FALSE For those who want to use open source R but still use the excellent S+ literature...these differences can be confusing. I can also appreciate the stress on authors attempting to express code that works in both languages.
