Hello,
I noticed the following strange behavior under R-2.4.0 (Linux Mandriva
2007) :
> options("OutDec")
$OutDec
[1] "."
> as.numeric(".1")
[1] NA
Warning message:
NAs introduits lors de la conversion automatique
> as.numeric(",1")
[1] 0,1
So I need to use the comma as the decimal separator, at least as input.
Moreover, the last output also use a comma, though the OutDec option was
set to ".". Basic arithmetic ops on the command line work OK with
decimal dots.
I am pretty sure as.numeric(".1") used to work under older versions of
R. Could it be a localization problem ?
I would like to use the dot as the decimal separator both for input and
output. Any suggestion ?
Thank you very much in advance,
