Unnecessary apostrophe in English base::summary() NA count output?
Hello, this is quite a minor issue but as summary() is in all likelihood one of the most widely used functions in R I decided to email this list. When producing a count of missing values, summary() in English generates an unnecessary and grammatically incorrect apostrophe (NA's rather than NAs) in its table header. For example:
summary(c(1,2,NA,3,4,NA))
Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max. NA's 1.00 1.75 2.50 2.50 3.25 4.00 2 The issue can be traced to this file: https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/src/library/base/R/summary.R Unless this is being done intentionally for some reason, the solution would seem to be to replace the string "NA's" with "NAs". There are 9 occurrences in the file. Thank you very much.
