Hello all,
I am attempting to use the seq() function to define breaks for the cut()
function but am finding performance that I do not understand. The root of my
problem appears to be contained in the following simple example.
> brks <- seq(0.8,1.2,0.1)
> brks
[1] 0.8 0.9 1.0 1.1 1.2
> brks==1.2
[1] FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE
> brks==1.1
[1] FALSE FALSE FALSE TRUE FALSE
The last value in the sequence does not appear to be equal to its apparent
value (i.e., 1.2) whereas the fourth value in the sequence, for example, does
(e.g., 1.1).
Any help/suggestions with the concept or "trick" that I am missing here? Thank
you in advance.
p.s., I am using R 2.5.1 with ...
> Sys.info()
sysname release
"Windows" "NT 5.1"
version nodename
"(build 2600) Service Pack 2" "CSE229-001"
machine
"x86"
