equivalent: Test two numeric vectors for equivalence

Description

This function is a wrapper for isTRUE(all.equal(x,y,...{})), but with the additional capability of doing sign-insensitive comparison.

Usage

equivalent(x, y, signMatters = TRUE, ...)

Value

TRUE if all elements of x match all elements of

y to within tolerance, ignoring signs if required. FALSE

otherwise.

Arguments

x

The first numeric vector.

y

The second numeric vector.

signMatters

Logical value: if FALSE then equivalence in absolute value is sufficient.

...

Additional arguments to all.equal, notably tolerance.
