Table Command (PR#1182)

Full_Name: Manisha Desai
Version: 1.3.0
OS: UNIX
Submission from: (NULL) (156.111.36.213)


There may be a bug in the table command.  
The value of 0 does not appear to show up (at least in this version of R).  
The following is an example:

blah<-c(rep(1,100),rep(0,100))
table(blah)

Gives the following:

blah
  1
100

Doing a summary shows that blah does contain values of 0.  

summary(blah)

   Min. 1st Qu.  Median    Mean 3rd Qu.    Max. 
    0.0     0.0     0.5     0.5     1.0     1.0 

blah<-c(rep(1,100),rep(0,100))
table(blah)

Doesn't happen on any version of "UNIX" that I have access to. I think
we had a report once where something like that was caused by an
incorrect compiler (or compiler flag). We need to have full
information on your system and build to do anything about it.

To wit (Solaris 7, R-1.3.1)

blah<-c(rep(1,100),rep(0,100))
table(blah)

blah
  0   1
100 100
