[Gretl-devel] bug with min/max/mean and matrices

Hi, according to the doc min/max/mean are not supposed to work with matrices (where I think we have debated in the past if this restriction could be lifted, just like with sum(), but I don't remember the reasons for not doing so...), but instead of yielding an error message they give wrong results: <hansl> scalar hey = min(I(2)) # gives 1 hey = max(I(2)) # gives 1, true by coincidence? hey = max(mreverse(I(2))) # gives 0, so yes, a coincidence hey = mean(I(2)) # gives 1 </hansl> It looks as if the functions just take the first (upper-left) element of the matrix and work on that. This is with a Aug 20 snapshot. thanks, sven
