[R] Removing header from a matrix

[David L Carlson]

These are just column names, but if you want to remove them, it is easy:

> X1 <- c(20, 100)
> X2 <- c(25, 90)
> X3 <- c(40, 80)
> U <- cbind(X1, X2, X3)
> U
      X1 X2 X3
[1,]  20 25 40
[2,] 100 90 80
> colnames(U) <- NULL
> U
     [,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,]   20   25   40
[2,]  100   90   80
