col {base} | R Documentation |
Returns a matrix of integers indicating their column number in a matrix-like object, or a factor of column labels.
col(x, as.factor = FALSE)
x |
a matrix-like object, that is one with a two-dimensional
|
as.factor |
a logical value indicating whether the value should be returned as a factor of column labels (created if necessary) rather than as numbers. |
An integer (or factor) matrix with the same dimensions as x
and whose
ij
-th element is equal to j
(or the j
-th column label).
