Am I doing something wrong? Some may say that you did not scrutinize the documentation enough, as "summary" artificially limits the number of significant digits. However, this question reoccurs often and regularly in these mailing lists, so at last, maybe something should be done about it, beyond documenting how it works. Overall, too many users got mislead, that one may not so bluntly assert they are all wrong. For example, resorting to scientific notation whenever non significant zero digits would have otherwise been printed. This should clarify a bit that the printing precision got artificially limited. -- François Pinard http://pinard.progiciels-bpi.ca ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch 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.
