Hope this helps.

Dear member list,
In many experimental sciences, there is a lower detection limit (LDL)
when a dosage of a product is done. Then some samples are evaluated to
be below this limit.
I search for the best way to indicate in a data.frame that some values
are such LDL. Ideally, an equivalent of NA would be the best.
Until now I manage by indicating all the column in characters.
So the question is: is it possible to define a value that could be
named LDL and that could take place in vectors or data.frame such as:
v <- c(0.2, 0.28, LDL, 0.9) is the same way that NA can be used.
with of course a function is.ldl(v) that would return F F T F
Thanks a lot for any direction to solve this
Marc
