to

The data type into which x should be converted.

nlev

A vector containing the number of levels for each categorical variable (for from="ind" or from="Burt"). If NA, nlev is computed from the data.

vars

A vector of length 2 specifying the index of the variables to use for converting to "freq" (i.e. to a regular two-way frequency table).

...

Further arguments (ignored).
