Elegance is in the eye of the beholder. But I would have thought that anything you do would be some variation of:
c(rep(1:3,e=2,time=4), rep(4:5,e=4,time=3), rep(6:9,e=3,time=2) ) ## yielding [1] 1 1 2 2 3 3 1 1 2 2 3 3 1 1 2 2 3 3 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5 4 [42] 4 4 4 5 5 5 5 6 6 6 7 7 7 8 8 8 9 9 9 6 6 6 7 7 7 8 8 8 9 9 9 Cheers, Bert Bert Gunter Genentech Nonclinical Biostatistics (650) 467-7374 "Data is not information.
