lattice (version 0.17-25)

make.groups: Grouped data from multiple vectors

Description

Combines two or more vectors, possibly of different lengths, producing a data frame with a second column indicating which of these vectors that row came from. This is mostly useful for getting data into a form suitable for use in high level Lattice functions.

Usage

make.groups(...)

Arguments

...

one or more vectors of the same type (coercion is attempted if not), or one or more data frames with similar columns, with possibly differing number of rows.

Value

• When all the input arguments are vectors, a data frame with two columns
• data
  all the vectors supplied, concatenated
• which
  factor indicating which vector the corresponding data value came from
• When all the input arguments are data frames, the result of rbind applied to them, along with an additional which column as described above.

                exponential = rexp(175),
                lognormal = rlnorm(150),
                normal = rnorm(125))
