R Documentation

Automatically coerces a vector into an appropriate type.

Converts it to character, and then uses pattern matching to work out the most appropriate type.

AutoCoerceClass(x, stringsAsFactors = TRUE, max.value.labels = 12)

`x`	A `vector`.
`stringsAsFactors`	logical: should character vectors be converted to factors?
`max.value.labels`	logical: only variables with value labels and at most this many unique values will be converted to factors. Ignored if `stringsAsFactors` is `FALSE`.
