[R] conversion of a data.frame of numerics to a data.frame of factors

[Patrick Giraudoux]

Hi,

I am trying to convert a data.frame of numerics (this could be a matrix as well in this case) into a data.frame of factors.

I did it in a way that is less than direct...

myforet2<-t(myforet)
for (i in 1:length(myforet2[1,])) {
    if (i == 1)myforetfact<-list(as.factor(myforet2[,i]))
    else myforetfact<-c(myforetfact,list(as.factor(myforet2[,i])))
}
myforetfact<-data.frame(myforetfact)
names(myforetfact)<-row.names(myforet)

Here again, I wonder if there are no easier way to go through.... (the loop is not "R" style, for the least). However, I cannot do
it otherway so far...

Cheers,

Patrick
