Like I said on the other thread you started on this same issue, this is just a print setting, not something with the data.
Consider this: R> as.numeric(4398801.3) == 4398801.3 TRUE If you want to change this, try options(digits = 14) # or however many you want to see And don't jump ship on threads where we've started on a topic, it just confuses the matter Michael On Wed, Oct 12, 2011 at 3:47 PM, Veerappa Chetty <chett...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > This happens when I read in large numbers; > ------------------------------------ >> as.numeric(4398801.3) > [1] 4398801 > >> as.numeric(439880.3) > [1] 439880.3 > ------------------------------------ > Please help to read in numbers with more than 8 characters! > Thanks. > Chetty > > -- > Professor of Family Medicine > Boston University > Tel: 617-414-6221, Fax:617-414-3345 > emails: chett...@gmail.com,vche...@bu.edu > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. > ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
