force_num {supportR} | R Documentation |
Coerces a vector into a numeric vector and automatically silences NAs introduced by coercion
warning. Useful for cases where non-numbers are known to exist in vector and their coercion to NA is expected / unremarkable. Essentially just a way of forcing this coercion more succinctly than wrapping as.numeric
in suppressWarnings
.
