Convert a List of Numerics to a Matrix
Description
This function converts a list whose members are numeric vectors (possibly of different length) to a matrix.
Usage
rpdataconv(x)
Arguments
x |
A list of numerics, a numeric vector or a matrix |
Details
If the list entries do not have the same length, the shorter elements are not recycled, but
filled with NA
instead.
Value
A matrix whose columns contain the members of x
.
Note
For consistency, x
can also be a numeric vector or matrix. The return value is then the same
as the one of as.matrix
.

for creating a similar data matrix with simulated data, and
rpdataboot
for creating boostrap replications of such a data matrix.
Examples
# Gemerate samples of different size from an
# exponential distribution with different parameters
x <- list(rexp(10, 0.2), rexp(7, 0.1), rexp(12, 0.5))
# Write x into a matrix that can be further processed
x.rp <- bootruin:::rpdataconv(x)
