In nkbxwb/berlineR: Functions I forget and other cool functions

Description

Usage

f2n(x)

Arguments

x	an object of class factor

Details

This function converts it into a character string and then into the numeric

Value

the ORIGINAL numbering of your factors

Examples

my_factor=factor(c(5,6,5,6),levels=c(5,6))
cbind(my_factor)
f2n(my_factor)
