This function detects the type of the variables in a data matrix. Types
can be continuous only, categorical only or mixed type. The rule for
defining a variable as a categorical variable is when: (1) it is a character
vector, (2) it contains no more than n = 5 unique values
Usage
Detect(x, n = 5)
Arguments
x
is the data matrix that need to be detected.
n
is a number, indicating how many levels, if outnumbered, can be seen
as an numeric variable, rather than a categorical variable.
Value
the variable type for every column, can either be "numeric" or
"character".
