Description

Usage

streaks(myvector, streakitem = "W", nonstreakitem = "L")

Arguments

myvector	a vector of characters or numbers such as 0 and 1.
streakitem	a character or number that stands for the item you're seeking a streak for, such as "W" or 1.
nonstreakitem	a character or number that stands for the item that usually interrupts the streak, such as "L" when seeking "W" streaks. There can be other streak-interrupting items not identified, such as "T" for ties.
