Hi everyone, I think I have found a minor issue with the R function "boxplot.stats". But before I make such a rash comment, I'd like to check my facts by fixing what I think is the problem. However, why I try to do this, R does not behave as I expect. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
If I use the command: debug(boxplot.stats) I am allowed to step through the code as normal. I then want to edit the function, so I type: boxplot.stats <- edit(boxplot.stats) and I make my changes. I can check my changes have been made by typing: boxplot.stats and the updated version appears on screen. But now when I come to test my changes, the "debug" functionality has just up and disappeared; I can no longer step though the function as normal. Further to that, it appears that the change has somehow not been registered, as exactly the same error occurs---although I cannot be sure that it is occurring inside boxplot.stats. Does anyone have any tips, suggestions or comments? I'd love to be able to fix this. (For what it's worth I wish to change line 14 of boxplot.stats so that it reads "if (any(out[nna],na.rm=TRUE))".)
