rpdataconv: Convert a List of Numerics to a Matrix

In bootruin: A Bootstrap Test for the Probability of Ruin in the Classical Risk Process

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.

See Also

See rpdatasim 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)
