Full_Name: Joachim Utans Version: 1.1.1 OS: NT4 (SP6) Submission from: (NULL) (195.102.198.233) There seems to be a small inconsistency with using median in sapply with handling names (looks like it has to do with the different handling when the length is even/odd) Specifically, sapply will concatenate listelement names and a member name if the length of the member is odd. Example follows:
TMP.list_list(item1=c(a1=1,a2=2,a3=3), item2=c(b1=1,b2=2)) TMP.list
$item1 a1 a2 a3 1 2 3 $item2 b1 b2 1 2
sapply(TMP.list, mean)
item1 item2 2.0 1.5
sapply(TMP.list, median)
item1.a2 item2 !!!!!!!!!!!! note the ".a2"
2.0 1.5
sapply(TMP.list, median, USE.NAMES=F)
item1.a2 item2
2.0 1.5
lapply(TMP.list, median)
$item1 a2 2 $item2 [1] 1.5 -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
