Do you want them to be vectors or do you want numeric values? If
the later, try as.numeric instead of as.vector:
> as.vector(factor(rep(seq(4),3)))
[1] "1" "2" "3" "4" "1" "2" "3" "4" "1" "2" "3" "4"
> as.numeric(factor(rep(seq(4),3)))
[1] 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
> summary(as.vector(factor(rep(seq(4),3))))
