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

Description

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.

Usage

zero_range(x, tol = 1000 * .Machine$double.eps)

Value

logical TRUE if the relative difference of the endpoints of the range are not distinguishable from 0.

Arguments

x

numeric range: vector of length 2

tol

A value specifying the tolerance.
