rv (version 2.3.4)

as.vector.rv: Coerce an rv object

Description

as.vector.rv coerces a given rv object into a vector; matrices lose their dimension attributes, but rv objects stay as rv objects (since they are considered to be "vectors").

Usage

# S3 method for rv
as.vector(x, mode = "any")

Arguments

x

an object

mode

(currently not used)

Details

as.vector.rv removes the dimension attribute and returns the rv object. Needed for compatibility with code that uses as.vector.
