Subject: [Rd] win/pentium 4 (was: can this happen?)
Message-ID: <Pine.A41.4.44.0212091321510.179436-100000@homer41.u.washington.edu>

I reported an inconsistency in results in the same R program run on
different Windows computers and received some suggestions

It isn't due to the version of msvcrt.dll (Peter Dalgaard & Brian Ripley)
and isn't fixed by Duncan Murdoch's patches to windows R.

More experimentation has shown that the set of results I like less
(involving internal error reports from optim()) happens on 3 out of 3
Pentium 4 machines, and not on 2 Pentium 3s (or on a dual Athlon under
Linux).
