Numeric factor to numeric vector

Description

Converts a factor with numeric levels to a numeric vector, using the values of the levels.

Usage

as.numeric_factor(x, keepNA = FALSE, sortUnique = FALSE)

Arguments

x	A factor based on numeric values.
keepNA	Keep NA values (TRUE), or remove them (default = FALSE)
sortUnique	Should the unique character values be sorted? (default = FALSE)

Value

A numeric vector with factor levels as names.

Examples

f <- factor(round(runif(10,0,9)))
as.numeric_factor(f)

# Add NAs
f <- factor(c(round(runif(9,0,9)),NA))
as.numeric_factor(f)
as.numeric_factor(f, keepNA = TRUE)
