[R] factor matrix

[Mulholland, Tom]

This is my playing about

The last one is a matrix of factors of dimension 2 by 2. It;s just that it does not look that way.

> tt <- matrix(as.numeric(factor(c(T,F,F,T))), 2,2)
> str(tt)
 num [1:2, 1:2] 2 1 1 2
> tt <- matrix((factor(c(T,F,F,T))), 2,2)
> str(tt)
 chr [1:2, 1:2] "TRUE" "FALSE" "FALSE" "TRUE"
> tt <- c(T,F,F,T)
> str(tt)
 logi [1:4]  TRUE FALSE FALSE  TRUE
> dim(tt) <- c(2,2)
> str(tt)
 logi [1:2, 1:2]  TRUE FALSE FALSE  TRUE
> tt <- factor(c(T,F,F,T))
> dim(tt) <- c(2,2)
> str(tt)
 factor [1:2, 1:2] TRUE FALSE FALSE TRUE
 - attr(*, "levels")= chr [1:2] "FALSE" "TRUE"
 - attr(*, "class")= chr "factor"
> tt
[1] TRUE  FALSE FALSE TRUE 
Levels: FALSE TRUE
