Hi R users

I am wondering how I can avoid automatic coercion of my numeric vector
elements to character

Stop giving character arguments .


init <- c(age='N', R=as.numeric(0.5), S=as.numeric(0.8))

If you want a multi-mode object, use a list.

> init <- list(age='N', R=as.numeric(0.5), S=as.numeric(0.8))
> init
$age
[1] "N"

$R
[1] 0.5

$S
[1] 0.8

Vectors can only contain elements of a single mode.

I have used as.numeric() but it does not seem to work



Thank you
