Bug in ftable?? (Was: Two-way tables of data, etc)
Further to the discussion between Murray Jorgensen and Brian Ripley, it seems to me better to choose tabulations that will not come and bite you. Suppose your data are sligtly irregular, e.g. (for the sake of the argument): data( warpbreaks ) warpbreaks$variant <- rep( 1:5, len=54 ) attach( warpbreaks ) tb <- table( wool, tension, variant ) tb # in this case you would like to see: tp <- tapply( breaks, list( wool, tension, variant ), mean ) tp # and hardly: ftable( xtabs( breaks ~ wool + tension + variant ) ) # It would be nice to flatten the tabulations, so I tried: ftable( tb ) tp <- as.table( tp ) ftable( tp ) But here i get:
attr( tp, "class" ) <- "table" ftable( tp )
Error in cbind(...) : number of rows of matrices must match (see arg 2) # But still they seem to have similar attributes (except for the naming) attributes( tb ) attributes( tp ) Is this a bug or a facility of ftable ?
