[Rd] Add on argument in seq()

2015-06-15 Thread Millot Gael
Hi. I have a problem with the default behavior of seq(), which gives the argument from when the argument length.out = 1. This behavior is annoying when the number of value determine in length.out is not predictable. Would it be possible to add an argument that propose the median/mean, i.e.

The current R release candidate has a lack of protect bug (of very long standing) [ but not really reported, right ? ] It's long standing because it exists in versions of R going back many years. but the R 3.2.1 release candidate probably really cannot be touched now, with

[Rd] Add-on argument in sample()

2015-06-15 Thread Millot Gael
Hi. I have a problem with the default behavior of sample(), which performs sample(1:x) when x is a single value. This behavior is well explained in ?sample. However, this behavior is annoying when the number of value is not predictable. Would it be possible to add an argument that desactivates

Thanks for your answer. The rational behind my proposal is why taking from when length.out=1, more than to or NA, or integer(0) ? This question seems basic. But is is not in certain situations, like when length.out = unpredictable positive integer. And I haven't found in ?seq() the

Millot, I think the problem with that is that what you propose isn't a sequence starting at from in any meaningful way, and thus does not satisfy the contract of the seq function. Best, ~G On Jun 15, 2015 7:12 AM, Millot Gael gael.mil...@curie.fr wrote: Hi. I have a problem with the default
