Dear R-Help,
I have used R2.6.0 until I recently installed also R2.7.2 (see details below)
In R 2.6.0, the following script using the function 'var' (cor(stats)):
x.test <- c(NA, NA, NA, NA)
var(x.test, na.rm=T)
gives the output:
NA
In R2.7.2 the output of the same script generates an error message and stops R:
'Error in var(x.test, na.rm = T) : no complete element pairs'
R2.7.2 can handle it if there is just one non-NA value in the list but not if
they are all NA.
I prefer the output of 2.6.0. Is this a bug in 2.7.2 or is it a deliberate
change compare to previous versions? Or is there a way to make R2.7.2 give NA
as output?
Thank you for any helo/comments!
Best regards,
Klaus
