Hi All, An annoying but not critical problem I am having is that the variance of a vector of constants is reported as > 0. I imagine there is a simple workaround for the following but could not find it after having spent an embarrassing amount of time.
In Splus: > x<-rep(0.02,10) > var(x) > 0 In R: x<-rep(0.02,10) var(x) 1.337451e-35 I assumed the problem had to do with machine precision and suitably modified .Machine$double.eps and .Machine$double.neg.eps which I thought would fix the problem but without success. Any pointers to a solution would be appreciated!
