Hello, I think this qualify as a bug > x<-c(1,2,3,4,NA,6,7) > mean(x) [1] NA > mean(x,na.rm=T) [1] 3.833333 > sd(x) Error in var(as.vector(x)) : missing observations in cov/cor > sd(x,na.rm=T) Error in sd(x, na.rm = T) : unused argument(s) (na.rm ...) > var(x) Error in var(x) : missing observations in cov/cor > var(x,na.rm=T) [1] 5.366667 > why sd() does not recognize the na.rm=T parameter, while var does?
