##### Determine if range of vector is close to zero, with a specified tolerance

The machine epsilon is the difference between 1.0 and the next number that can be represented by the machine. By default, this function uses epsilon * 1000 as the tolerance. First it scales the values so that they have a mean of 1, and then it checks if the difference between them is larger than the tolerance.

zero_range(x, tol = 1000 * .Machine$double.eps) ##### Arguments x numeric range: vector of length 2 tol A value specifying the tolerance. ##### Value logical TRUE if the relative difference of the endpoints of the range are not distinguishable from 0. ##### Aliases • zero_range ##### Examples library(scales) eps <- .Machine$double.eps zero_range(c(1, 1 + eps)) # TRUE zero_range(c(1, 1 + 99 * eps)) # TRUE zero_range(c(1, 1 + 1001 * eps)) # FALSE - Crossed the tol threshold zero_range(c(1, 1 + 2 * eps), tol = eps) # FALSE - Changed tol # Scaling up or down all the values has no effect since the values # are rescaled to 1 before checking against tol zero_range(100000 * c(1, 1 + eps)) # TRUE zero_range(100000 * c(1, 1 + 1001 * eps)) # FALSE zero_range(.00001 * c(1, 1 + eps)) # TRUE zero_range(.00001 * c(1, 1 + 1001 * eps)) # FALSE # NA values zero_range(c(1, NA)) # NA zero_range(c(1, NaN)) # NA # Infinite values zero_range(c(1, Inf)) # FALSE zero_range(c(-Inf, Inf)) # FALSE zero_range(c(Inf, Inf)) # TRUE
