The syntax rep(x, c(100,15)) is legal: it says to repeat the first value 
100 times, the second 15 times.

I try the line above and it works with no error.  SNN is not telling us 
something, but I don't know what.  Perhaps the content of data is 
relevant, or the content of his/her workspace, or whatever.
