[R] eigen vector sign reversal

2003-07-15 Thread Karim Elsawy
I've just installed R 1.7.1 under linux red hat I noticed sign reversal of eigen vectors ,some of them not all, upon using diag function relative to those obtained using R 1.4.1 this is gonna miss up lots of my previous scripts I wonder if there is a way to avoid this. best regards karim
