Let me add an explanation, why qbinom(p0 , s = 3, p = 0.25) does not produce an error message about missing "prob" argument: Since "size" and "p" arguments are given, p0 is used for the third argument and not for the first.
Although the behavior is logical, it may not be immediately clear. I do not see this case explicitly in FAQ or R-intro.pdf 10.3. Petr. ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
