Function scale (PR#2209)
lucas@toulouse.inra.fr writes:
I found a problem with scale function, while using center=FALSE and scale=TRUE: all column are not divided by standard error, but divided by sqrt (1/(n-1) sum Xi^2 ) Example:
l<- c(1,2,3) scale(l,F,T)
[,1] [1,] 0.3779645 [2,] 0.7559289 [3,] 1.1338934 attr(,"scaled:scale") [1] 2.645751 2.645751 = sqrt( 1/2 * (1+4+9) )
And? That's exactly what the documentation says will happen. And exactly what Splus does, even if perhaps surprising.
