Hi all,

I just would like to ask whether this behavior is actually expected:

<hansl>
matrix m = {1, NA; 2, 3}
print m
eval cum(m)

? print m
m (2 x 2)

     1   nan
     2     3

? eval cum(m)
     1   nan
     3   nan
</hansl>

I expected the entry (2,2) to be 3 as this is the first valid value of
the 2nd column.

I'd say it's expected because nans propagate. Basically you don't know
what 3 + nan is. To get what you want, I was going to say "do
cum(misszero(m))", but that doesn't work on a matrix. Maybe it should?
(But remember the old fact that a NaN and a missing value is not always
the same thing.)

True, 3 + nan remains unclear or is actually not defined. Fine for me if that's how it is handled -- just wanted to know what's expected in this case.

Replacing nan values in matrix can be easily done by:
<hansl>
m = ok(m) ? m : VALUE  # VALUE is some numeric value
</hansl>

Thanks,
Artur
