I stumbled across this and I am wondering if this is unexpected behavior or if I am missing something.
> pnorm(-1.0e+307, log.p=TRUE) [1] -Inf > pnorm(-1.0e+308, log.p=TRUE) [1] NaN Warning message: In pnorm(q, mean, sd, lower.tail, log.p) : NaNs produced > pnorm(-1.0e+309, log.p=TRUE) [1] -Inf I don't know C and am not that skilled with R, so it would be hard for me to look into the code for pnorm. If I'm not just missing something, I thought it may be of interest. Details: I am using Mac OS X 10.5.8. I installed a precompiled binary version. Here is the output from sessionInfo(), requested in the posting guide: R version 2.11.0 (2010-04-22) i386-apple-darwin9.8.0 locale: [1] en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/C/C/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] tools_2.11.0 Thank you very much, Eric Freeman UC Berkeley ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
