[Rd] R: prcomp documentation (PR#7372)

2004-11-17 Thread clock
Hello help(prcomp) documentation doesn't say that dimensionality of the data treated is number of columns of the matrix. I suggest this to be added somewhere near the description of the matrix argument 'x'. Cl __ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I have no idea what you mean by this. prcomp works on a matrix, which has two dimensions, and what you mean by `dimensionality of the data' in PCA depends on whether you are doing R mode or Q mode PCA. Have you read the references on the help page? On Wed, 17 Nov 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

[Rd] Building Packages on Windows using .Rbuildignore

Full_Name: Hsiu-Khuern Tang Version: 2.0.0 OS: Debian GNU/Linux Submission from: (NULL) (156.153.255.243) Why doesn't mget() have a pos argument like get()? mget has an envir argument, but the documentation says that this is only for backward compatibility. Thanks, Hsiu-Khuern.

Just to add to Thomas Lumley suggestion: it's generally a good idea to call a wrapper function it by a different name. This way, when you forget that you have a wrapper function, you won't be puzzled by why the function doesn't behave according to the documentation, and you won't embarrass

Under the S3 standard, you could make a local copy of any function and change the defaults in that local copy. That may not always work under the S4 standard methods dispatch going to code hidden in namespaces. In any event, it should be easy (and safer) to write a function with a
