Solving Floating-Point Comparison Issues in R: Best Practices and New Functions
This is a comprehensive guide to addressing issues with floating-point comparisons in R. Here’s a summary of the main points:
Comparison of single values: Use all.equal instead of == for comparing floating-point numbers, as it provides a tolerance-based comparison. Vectorized comparison: For comparing vectors element-wise, use the mapply function or create an additional function (elementwise.all.equal) that wraps around all.equal. Comparison of vectors with a tolerance: Use the tolerance parameter in all.
Combining Two Columns in a Pandas DataFrame Depending on Their Value
