unstrip function

Reformat data as vector or matrix

This function tries to convert a date.frame or a matrix to a no-frills matrix without labels, and a vector or time-series to a no-frills vector without labels.

unstrip(x)

Arguments

• x: one- or two-dimensional object.

Returns

If x is two-dimensional a matrix without names, if x is one-dimensional a numerical vector

Details

Many of the functions for logspline, oldlogspline, lspec, polyclass, hare, heft, and polymars were written in the ``before data.frame'' era; unstrip attempts to keep all these functions useful with more advanced input objects. In particular, many of these functions call unstrip before doing anything else.
