[R] Data frame of different sized lists in a function call

2010-01-28 Thread Jonathan Greenberg
I'm hoping to get some "best practice" feedback for constructing a function call which takes an undefined set of DIFFERENT length vectors -- e.g. say we have two lists: list1=c(1:10) list2=c(2:4) lists = data.frame(list1,list2) coerces those two to be the same length (recycling list2 to fill
