asSimpleVector {RBioinf}R Documentation

Example functions for the Chapter on Debugging

Description

These functions are used to demonstrate some of the debugging facilities in R.

Usage

asSimpleVector(x, mode = "logical")
convertMode(from, to)
setVNames(x, nm)
subsetAsCharacter(x, i, j)

Arguments

x input
mode the mode of x
from a parameter
to another parameter
nm names for x
i an index
j another index

Details

A set of functions that can be used to demonstrate debugging principles and practices.

asSimpleVector converts the argument x to a simple R vector of the given mode preserving names, dimension and dimnames.

subsetAsCharacter calculates either a vector or a matrix subset of the argument x and returns the subset after converting it to be of mode character. It uses asSimpleVector to do the conversion to character and thus also preserves any names, dimension or dimnames in the subset.

setVNames sets the names of the given vector x to the argument nm and then converts x to numeric using asSimpleVector.

convertMode converts its first argument to the mode of the second argument.

Value

Various values are returned.
