is.whole: Test Whether a Vector or Array Consists of Whole Numbers

In sfsmisc: Utilities from 'Seminar fuer Statistik' ETH Zurich

Test Whether a Vector or Array Consists of Whole Numbers

Description

This function tests whether a numeric or complex vector or array consists of whole numbers. The function is.integer is not appropriate for this since it tests whether the vector is of class integer (see examples).

Usage

is.whole(x, tolerance = sqrt(.Machine$double.eps))

Arguments

x	integer, numeric, or complex vector or array to be tested
tolerance	maximal distance to the next whole number

Value

The return value has the same dimension as the argument x: if x is a vector, the function returns a logical vector of the same length; if x is a matrix or array, the function returns a logical matrix or array of the same dimensions. Each entry in the result indicates whether the corresponding entry in x is whole.

Examples

## Create a random array, matrix, vector
set.seed(307)
a <- array(runif(24), dim = c(2, 3, 4))
a[4:8] <- 4:8
m <- matrix(runif(12), 3, 4)
m[2:4] <- 2:4
v <- complex(real      = seq(0.5, 1.5, by = 0.1),
             imaginary = seq(2.5, 3.5, by = 0.1))

## Find whole entries
is.whole(a)
is.whole(m)
is.whole(v)

## Numbers of class integer are always whole
is.whole(dim(a))
is.whole(length(v))
