unlist_df4: Unlist the columns in a data.frame, with more checks, adf,...

In BioGeoBEARS: BioGeography with Bayesian (and Likelihood) Evolutionary Analysis in R Scripts

Description

Sometimes, matrices or data.frames will malfunction due to their having lists as columns and other weirdness. This runs unlist and additional checks, and forces conversion to a data.frame at the end. It also adds dfnums_to_numeric which should remove the problem of numbers columns being of class character.

Usage

  unlist_df4(df, ...)

Arguments

df	matrix or other object transformable to data.frame
...	Additional options passed to dfnums_to_numeric.

Details

See especially data.matrix for a possibly simpler alternative.

Value

outdf data.frame
