[R] R-help, specifying the places to decimal

[Vivek Satsangi]

In addition to round() mentioned earlier, if you are merely looking to
*display* your results differently, you may want to check out the
digits option, e.g. in summary():

(This is the method signature for data.frame 's):

     summary(object, maxsum = 7,
            digits = max(3, getOption("digits")-3), ...)
