Consider the following data frame X <- data.frame(Titanic) Does anyone know of an easy way to convert X into a multidimensional array? ?Example that doesn't work X <- as.array(X, dim=c(4,2,2,2)) To do what I need, X needs to be converted into an array of dimensions c(4,2,2,2) in this case, not a table.
Try this: xtabs(Freq ~., X)
By the way, you asked for an array rather than a table but a table is an array: is.array(xtabs(Freq ~., X)) # TRUE
