[R-sig-Geo] Extract() fails to return data for boundary admin units

[ping yang]

I also found issues with the raster::extract function, for some reason, I
got crazy values when I compared the resulting value with the one from
QGIS(Zonal Statistics Plugin) and ArcGIS（zonal statistics), while the value
from qgis and arcgis were close but the raster::extract has a lot of
disturbances:

#example
library(raster)
library(rgdal)

r <- raster("PRISM_ppt_stable_4kmM3_201608_bil.bil
http://prism.nacse.org/6month/")
setwd("D:/PRISM/2005-2016/cb_2015_us_state_500k/")
psa <- readOGR(".",paste("cb_2015_us_state_500k
<http://www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/GENZ2015/shp/cb_2015_us_state_500k.zip>
",sep=''))
e <- extract(r, psa, weights=TRUE, sp=TRUE, na.rm=TRUE, df=TRUE,fun=mean)

result <- cbind(psa$monmean,e$PRISM_ppt_stable_4kmM3_201609_bil)
result
            [,1]       [,2]
 [1,]  67.756948  59.672969
 [2,]   8.163987  44.415848

[12,] 132.101744  46.713378
[13,]  21.995937  51.782905
[14,] 168.313586  93.790604
[15,]         NA         NA
......
[56,]  76.527362  82.369481

Has anyone have looked into this issue?

Thanks,

Peter
