The “as.vector” Function in R

• Package: Base R (no specific package required)

• Purpose: Converts an object to a vector.

• General Class: Data Manipulation

• Required Argument(s):

• x: An R object to be converted to a vector.

• Notable Optional Arguments:

• mode: The mode of the resulting vector. By default, the mode is determined from the highest type of the components in x.

• ...: Additional arguments for methods.

• Example:

• # Example data for using the as.vector function
  matrix_example <- matrix(1:6, nrow = 2, ncol = 3)
  
  # Use as.vector to convert a matrix to a vector
  vector_result <- as.vector(matrix_example)
  
  # Display the result
  print(vector_result)

• In this example, the as.vector function is used to convert a matrix (matrix_example) to a vector (vector_result). The as.vector function is commonly used to simplify the structure of an object and convert it to a one-dimensional vector.
