Re: [R] dim vector or data.frame

Yes. And there's also a possibility of keeping the vector as a one column data frame (using a drop=FALSE argument in indexing to avoid conversion to vectors perhaps) so that nrow() can be used. This has the disadvantage of the inefficiency of using a data frame when a vector will do, and the advan

[R] dim vector or data.frame

Hi, In my function, I want to allow input to be a vector or a data.frame. Certain operations need to be done if the length or nrows exceeds one, but since "nrow" doesn't work for vectors, I cannot simply use if( nrow(input)>1 | length(input)>1 ) ... So is there a more elegant way to do this the
