For example: the numbers should match, with '==', but they differ in the magnitude of 1e-14 due to bunch of calculations that I run on them. Programming with java, I am used to implementing a function that compares the difference between the numbers to a pre determined precision factor. This could be very slow when I have two matrices of numbers that I could otherwise compare with a simple '==', '>' or '<' in R. What is teh best solution for this problem? Can I control the precision of ==, > and < without having to reimplement the operations in a slow way? ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
