[R] problem with "any" function

[Matthias Gondan]

The warning

1: In (ind.c == TRUE) & (ind.sgn == TRUE) :
    longer object length is not a multiple of shorter object length

means that ind.c and ind.sgn have different lengths, for whatever reason.
Although R continues the routine, the warning should, in general, not be 
ignored.

Try:
1:3 + 1:2
at the command prompt to see what type of unintended things happen.

Actually, 1:4 + 1:2 is running silently.

Best wishes,

Matthias
