Subject: R-alpha: factors ...
Perhaps someone can enlighten me here:
R> x <- factor(LETTERS[1:3])
R> x
[1] A B C
R> mode(x)
[1] "factor"
R> class(x)
[1] "factor"
R> mode(unclass(x))
[1] "factor"
S-PLUS has
> x <- factor(LETTERS[1:3])
> mode(x)
[1] "numeric"
> class(x)
[1] "factor"
> mode(unclass(x))
[1] "numeric"
???
