Dear List,
why does as.data.frame(cbind()) transform numeric variables to
factors, once one of the other variablesused is a character vector?
#
x.1 - rnorm(10)
x.2 - c(rep(Test,10))
Foo - as.data.frame(cbind(x.1))
is.factor(Foo$x.1)
Foo - as.data.frame(cbind(x.1,x.2))
is.factor(Foo$x.1)

In R version 2.4.0 Under development (unstable) (2006-08-08 r38825)
one can do this:
as.data.frame(cbind(x.1,x.2),stringsAsFactors = FALSE)

Thanks everybody. I recognize my mistake now.
I think as.data.frame(cbind(x.1,x.2),stringsAsFactors = FALSE) would
be a good idea.

Tom would be a good idea.
I think
data.frame(x.1, x.2 = I(x.2))
would
