It's not being rounded, as this example will show:

 x <- 0.1234567898765
 x
[1] 0.1234568
print(x,digits=15)
[1] 0.1234567898765

It is being printed, or displayed, with fewer digits. But the underlying value has not changed.

Hi all R-users,
If I have a matrix with numeric elements as follows, the values are rounded when I try to refer to a specifici element using [], the value is rounded.
The same thing happens if the matrix is read from a file, the values are stored to the correct precision but then when I try to refer to a specific element (such as using [], it is rounded.


How do I avoid this rounding?
>mdat<-matrix(c(0.0187972950,0.4446208550,1.0000000000,0.0003204380,0.0105002420,1.1087556380,0.0742164230,0.0362898240), nrow = 2, ncol=4)
mdat
          [,1]        [,2]       [,3]       [,4]
[1,] 0.01879729 1.000000000 0.01050024 0.07421642
[2,] 0.44462085 0.000320438 1.10875564 0.03628982

Thanks.
