What's wrong with that result? you should look at the result as: first take the 3th element of a, then the first one, than the second one and then the fourth.
if you do a[order(a)] then you get 15,20,30,40. I suppose you expected: rank(a) [1] 2 3 1 4 Good luck Bart lll73 wrote: > > > I am using the order function and the result seems to be incorrect: > >> a<-c(20,30,15,40) >> order(a) > [1] 3 1 2 4 > > Any suggestions? > > Thanks, > Laura > > -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Incorrect-order-tp20224993p20225235.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
