Dear R team I noticed a bug in the "medpolish" function in the "stats" package. When I run medpolish(x), with "x" the matrix in the attached .rda file, I get this rather cryptic error: "Error in if (converged) break : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed In addition: Warning message: In sum(abs(z), na.rm = na.rm) : integer overflow - use sum(as.numeric(.))" I traced this down to the line: newsum <- sum(abs(z), na.rm = na.rm) I think this "overflow" could be easily fixed by changing this line to: newsum <- sum(as.numeric(abs(z)), na.rm = na.rm)
Alternatively, you could use medpolish(as.numeric(x)). Duncan Murdoch
