6 useful R functions you might not know

R Project Updates

Updates from R Core:

  • parse() no longer gives spurious warnings when extracting srcrefs from a file not encoded in the current locale.

  • New function isFALSE() defined analogously to isTRUE().

  • factor() now uses order() to sort its levels, not sort.list(). This makes factor() support custom vector-like objects if methods for the appropriate generics are defined. This change has the side effect of making factor() succeed on empty or length-one non-atomic vector(-like) types (e.g., list), where it failed before.

  • fourfoldplot() could encounter integer overflow when calculating odds ratio.

  • factor() and hence droplevels() now keep attributes.
