The 0 is the name of the item and the 1 is the index in f of the maximum class. (since f is a table, and the first element of the table is the maximum, which.max returns a 1) So, if you just want to know which class is maximum you can say
names(which.max(f)) Michael Conklin Chief Methodologist - Advanced Analytics MarketTools, Inc. 6465 Wayzata Blvd. Suite 170 Minneapolis, MN 55426 Tel: 952.417.4719 | Mobile:612.201.8978 [EMAIL PROTECTED] MarketTools(r) http://www.markettools.com This e-mail and any attachments may contain privileged, confidential or proprietary information.
