[R] R: vector to matrix transformation

[Vito Ricci]

Hi,

did you see:

as.data.frame()
as.matrix()
as.vector()
matrix()

> x
  a b c
1 1 2 3
2 1 2 3
3 2 3 4
4 3 4 5
> is.data.frame(x)
[1] TRUE
> as.matrix(x)
  a b c
1 1 2 3
2 1 2 3
3 2 3 4
4 3 4 5
> y<-as.matrix(x)
> is.matrix(y)
[1] TRUE
> as.vector(y)
 [1] 1 1 2 3 2 2 3 4 3 3 4 5
> z<-as.vector(y)

> m<-matrix(z,ncol=3)
> m
     [,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,]    1    2    3
[2,]    1    2    3
[3,]    2    3    4
[4,]    3    4    5

I hope I give you a little help.

Best
Vito

Dear,

Some analysis (linear regression) can only be 
done from a vectorized dataset whereas others 
require a matrix (Mantel tests). I use the two 
analyses and thus need to format my data in 
matrix and vector. I spent some time trying to 
solve the problem and I just gave up. Did anyone 
knows how to transform a matrix into a vector and 
back-transform a vector into a matrix?

Thanks by advance,
Gwenaël Jacob

Top 10 reasons to become a Statistician

     1. Deviation is considered normal
     2. We feel complete and sufficient
     3. We are 'mean' lovers
     4. Statisticians do it discretely and continuously
     5. We are right 95% of the time
     6. We can legally comment on someone's posterior distribution
     7. We may not be normal, but we are transformable
     8. We never have to say we are certain
     9. We are honestly significantly different
    10. No one wants our jobs
