varlevels<-c("+","-","0","1") df<-data.frame( i1=factor(rep("+",10),levels=varlevels), i2=factor(rep("+",10),levels=varlevels), i3=factor(rep("-",10),levels=varlevels), i4=factor(c(rep("-",2),"0",rep("-",7)),levels=varlevels), i5=factor(rep("+",10),levels=varlevels), i6=factor(c(rep("-",9),"+"),levels=varlevels), i7=factor(c(rep("+",4),"0",rep("+",5)),levels=varlevels), i8=factor(c(rep(0,4),rep("+",3),"-","+","-"),levels=varlevels), i9=factor(c(rep("+",5),"-",rep("+",2),rep(0,2)),levels=varlevels)) library(prettyR) describe(df,horizontal=TRUE,fname.space=10) Jim ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
