rpdataconv: Convert a List of Numerics to a Matrix

Description

This function converts a list whose members are numeric vectors (possibly of different length) to a matrix.

Usage

rpdataconv(x)

Arguments

x

A list of numerics, a numeric vector or a matrix

Value

A matrix whose columns contain the members of x.

Details

If the list entries do not have the same length, the shorter elements are not recycled, but filled with NA instead.

See rpdatasim for creating a similar data matrix with simulated data, and rpdataboot for creating boostrap replications of such a data matrix.

Examples

# Gemerate samples of different size from an
# exponential distribution with different parameters
x <- list(rexp(10, 0.2), rexp(7, 0.1), rexp(12, 0.5))

# Write x into a matrix that can be further processed
x.rp <- bootruin:::rpdataconv(x)
