array2df(
  x,
  levels,
  matrix = FALSE,
  label.x = deparse(substitute(x)),
  na.rm = FALSE
)

Arguments

x

array

levels

list with the levels for the dimensions of x.

If levels[[i]] is NULL no column is produced for this factor.

If levels[[i]] is NA, the result column is a numeric with range from 1 to dim (x)[i]

If levels[[i]] is TRUE, the levels are taken from the dimnames.

names(levels) yield the resulting column names.

matrix

If TRUE, a numeric matrix rather than a data.frame is returned.

label.x

Name for the column containing the x values.

na.rm

should rows where the value of x is NA be removed?

Details

If the resulting data.frame is too large to fit in memory, a matrix might help.

The main benefit of this function is that it uses matrices as long as possible. This can give large advantages in terms of memory consumption.

Value

A data.frame or matrix with prod (dim (x)) rows and length (dim (x)) + 1 columns.
