minor quirk in rnbinom - R-help

Fri, Jun 14, 2002 9:10 AM #

I don't want to spoil a nice joke, and recognise it's not a bug as it does
have the intended effect, but the error message that is returned if rnbinom
is given four parameters is slightly obscure:

Error in rnbinom(0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5) : couldn't find function "error"

Cheers,

Mike.

That's a bug alright. Will fix for 1.5.1.

That's a bug, of course 

  error("prob and mu both specified")

should be

  stop("prob and mu both specified")

in that function.
