as_numeric2: As.numeric but also works for factors
In WhiteJP/jpw: Useful tidbits
as_numeric2 R Documentation
As.numeric but also works for factors
Description
Wrapper for as.numeric that works the same as as.numeric for everything
except factors for which it returns the levels of the factor (if it can),
rather than the underlying integers
Usage
as_numeric2(x)
Arguments
x
vector to convert to double.
Details
Should work fine as the only (base) methods for as.numeric are
difftime and POSIXlt which don't also have factor as class. Could be problematic
if some class inherits factor, but then provides their own as.numeric method,
which this function would override. could of course get function to check for this
and to avoid, but think it is very unlikely.
