Hi-
I have a 37 X 473971 character matrix that I am trying to convert into a
numeric matrix. When I use the code:
class(matrix) = "numeric"
I end up with something called a "double matrix" whose dimensions are still
37 X 473971
I have also tried
new = apply(matrix,2, as.numeric) and got the same thing.
The analysis code I am ultimately attempting to run on this data requires
that it be in a numerical matrix, and it is really not okay with a double
matrix.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks.
