Dear all, I am trying to avoid the warnings produced by:
> x <- -2:2 > log(x) [1] NaN NaN -Inf 0.0000000 0.6931472 Warning message: production de NaN in: log(x) I thought that using ifelse would be a solution, but it is not the case: > ifelse(test = x < 0, yes = NaN, no = log(x)) [1] NaN NaN -Inf 0.0000000 0.6931472 Warning message: production de NaN in: log(x) I am aware of the section "Warning" of the help page for ifelse: Sometimes it is better to use a construction such as (tmp <- yes; tmp[!test] <- no[!test]; tmp), possibly extended to handle missing values in test. However, is there a way to avoid the evaluation of the alternative expression in ifelse when the argument test is false ?
