[R] Extending a vector to length n

2009-04-15 Thread hadley wickham
In general, how can I increase a vector of length m ( n) to length n by padding it with m - n missing values, without losing attributes? The two approaches I've tried, using length- and adding missings with c, do not work in general: a - as.Date(2008-01-01) c(a, NA) [1] 2008-01-01 NA length(a)

A more compact way to code factors in nls is to use the syntax factor[]. Here's an example using a simplified version of Ravi's example: n - 200 set.seed(123) x - runif(n) a - gl(n=2, k=n/2) # a two-level factor eps - rnorm(n, sd=0.5) y - as.numeric(a) * x^.5 + eps nls(y ~ a[]*x^b,
