Hi, I came across a case where there's a discrepancy between minimum and maximum values reported by 'summary' and the 'min' and 'max' functions:
---<---------------cut here---------------start-------------->--- R> str(tt) num [1:1397] 1952 1970 1976 1967 1946 ... R> summary(tt) Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max. 1920 1960 1970 1970 1980 2000 R> min(tt) [1] 1918 R> max(tt) [1] 2001 R> sessionInfo() R version 2.5.0 beta (2007-04-12 r41139) x86_64-pc-linux-gnu locale: LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=en_CA.UTF-8;LC_COLLATE=en_CA.UTF-8;LC_MONETARY=en_CA.UTF-8;LC_MESSAGES=en_CA.UTF-8;LC_PAPER=en_CA.UTF-8;LC_NAME=C;LC_ADDRESS=C;LC_TELEPHONE=C;LC_MEASUREMENT=en_CA.UTF-8;LC_IDENTIFICATION=C attached base packages: [1] "stats" "graphics" "grDevices" "utils" "datasets" "methods" [7] "base" other attached packages: lattice "0.14-17" ---<---------------cut here---------------end---------------->--- So this is a simple numeric vector, without any NA's, so I'm not sure what's causing the discrepancy between these functions. Any suggestions as to what to look for welcome. Thanks.
