That makes perfect sense.
Since I need to build up the results table sequentially as I iterate
through the data, how would you recommend it??
Thanks,

All values in a matrix are the same type, so if you've set up a matrix
with a character column then your numeric values will also be stored
as character. That would explain why they are being converted to
factors. It would also explain why your query isn't working.

That was a typo.
It should have read:
results[results$one< 100,]
It does still fail.
There is ONE column that is text. So my guess is that R is seeing that and
assuming that the entire data.frame should be factors.

Hello Noah,
If you set these names...
names(results)<- c("one", "two", "three")
this won't work...
results[results$c< 100,]
because you don't have a column called "c" (unless that's just a typo
in your post).
I tried making it a data.frame with
foo<- data.frame(results)
But that converted all the numeric values to factors!!!
Not sure what's going on there. If 'results' is a numeric matrix you
should get a data.frame with numeric cols since under the hood this is
just calling the as.data.frame function.

Hi,
I have a process in R that produces a lot of output. My plan was to
build
up a matrix or data.frame "row by row", so that I'll have a nice object
with
all the resulting data.
I started with:
results<- matrix(ncol=3)
names(results)<- c("one", "two", "three")
Then, when looping through the data:
results<- rbind(results, c(a,b,c))
This seems to work fine. BUT, my problem arises when I want to filter,
sort,
etc.
I tried (thinking like a data.frame):
results[results$c< 100,]
But that fails.
I tried making it a data.frame with
foo<- data.frame(results)
But that converted all the numeric values to factors!!! Which causes a
whole mess of problems.
Any ideas??
