Minor warning about seq
I believe the R intro manual and R-inferno have some pretty stern warnings about never using 'c' or 't' as variable names, for obvious reasons. Similarly, I nearly crushed some code once by writing a nice little function to find the mode of a data set and calling the function "mode()" . (conflicts w/ an R builtin). Ended up calling it 'smode' . Carl From: Dieter Menne <dieter.menne_at_menne-biomed.de> Date: Wed, 01 Dec 2010 00:14:17 -0800 (PST)
