Dear R users, I presume there is something foul with system:
a <- c(1,2,3,4) as.matrix(a, ncol=2) Output: [,1] [1,] 1 [2,] 2 [3,] 3 [4,] 4 The vignette for as.matrix says nrow (ncol) will be deduced from length and ncol (nrow). It does not work even when I additionally specify nrow=2. It behaves as if I had not given the ncol argument. Any hints on what might be borked up here?
