http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/05/05/4000.html I suppose the point is that in R you usually need a bit more than just the rank, so instead you want an object that contains all that info and more. Like we have the various lm objects, so to speak. They do the hard work once, and then we can ask them more particular questions. ?qr > -- -- > Jose Luis Aznarte M. http://decsai.ugr.es/~jlaznarte > Department of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence > Universidad de Granada Tel. +34 - 958 - 24 04 67 > GRANADA (Spain) Fax: +34 - 958 - 24 00 79 Haris Skiadas Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Hanover College ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
