[R] Understanding and predict round-off errors sign on simple functions

Hi, May be it is a basic thing but I would like to know if we can anticipate round-off errors sign. Here is an example : # numerical matrix m <- matrix(data=cbind(rnorm(10, 0), rnorm(10, 2), rnorm(10, 5)), nrow=10, ncol=3) > m [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 0.4816247 1
