Hi there,
In the following example, sd() can be applied to a character vector.
However, mean() can not be run in a similar way. Why?
I have read sd() man page, however, I don't find information about that
behavior.
> x <- as.character(1:10)
> sd(x)
[1] 3.02765
> mean(x)
[1] NA
Warning message:
In mean.default(x) : argument is not numeric or logical: returning NA
Regards,
Jinsong
