Hola!
By my understanding of reading ?qr the following shold result a 3 x 3 matrix: (rw2000)
x <- matrix( rnorm(12), 4,3) y <- matrix( rnorm(12), 4,3) xqr <- qr(x) yqr <- qr(y)
qr.qty( xqr, qr.Q(yqr) ) # dim (3,3) [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 0.16815466 -0.1970936 0.2351670 [2,] 0.15667444 0.4939800 0.8443340 [3,] -0.97096971 0.1029652 0.1456355 [4,] -0.06629443 -0.8405570 0.4588976
# The following should be equal: t( qr.Q(xqr) ) %*% qr.Q(yqr) [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 0.1681547 -0.1970936 0.2351670 [2,] 0.1566744 0.4939800 0.8443340 [3,] -0.9709697 0.1029652 0.1456355
but evidently is not.
There is at least one bug: 1) in R 2) in the help page 3) in my reading of the help page
