[R] Setting Number of Displayed Digits

[R. Michael Weylandt]

Can you provide a reproducible example: see, e.g., this site for how to do so:


http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example

Incidentally, I don't believe I can replicate your problem:

> x <- data.frame(conc = sample(c(100, 1,2,3, 0.005, 0.0005, 0.00002), 250, TRUE))
> summary(x)
      conc
 Min.   :  0.00002
 1st Qu.:  0.00050
 Median :  1.00000
 Mean   : 14.88871
 3rd Qu.:  3.00000
 Max.   :100.00000

But perhaps you should set

options(digits = 10)

or so
