[R] Global setting for na.rm=TRUE

[Gabor Grothendieck]

There is a global option setting for na.action.  See ?na.action .
That does not completely address your question but might
help with lm, glm, etc.

You could define your own wrapper functions if you know ahead of time
which functions with na.rm= args you need. e.g.

my.max = function(..., na.rm = getOption("na.rm")) max(..., na.rm = na.rm)
getOption("na.rm") # NULL
my.max(1, 2, NA) # 2
options(na.rm = FALSE)
my.max(1,2,NA) # NA
