Details

categoryReshape attempts to convert the first two columns of its input into a data frame in which rows represent objects and columns attributes. For each object, a value of 1 indicates that the object has that attribute, and a value of 0 that it does not. In set membership terms, a 1 indicates that the object is a member of that set and a 0 that it is not.

 objects<-0
 for(i in 1:length(ns)) objects<-c(objects,rep(i,ns[i]))
 attributes<-"Z"
 for(i in 1:length(ns)) attributes<-c(attributes,sample(LETTERS[1:8],ns[i]))
 setdf<-data.frame(objects[-1],attributes[-1])
