[R] Some days missing using xtabs

Tue Jul 23 12:50:25 CEST 2013

Hello,

As for your second question, before merge(), try the following.

release_freq$d_release <- as.integer(as.character(release_freq$d_release))
release_freq$m_release <- as.integer(as.character(release_freq$m_release))
release_freq$y_release <- as.integer(as.character(release_freq$y_release))

And the warning is gone.

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
