Hi List,
why are the results of the two bits of below code different?
> sapply(1:ncol(d.f), function(i) mode(d.f[,i]))
[1] "character" "character" "numeric" "numeric" "numeric" "numeric"
[7] "numeric" "numeric" "numeric" "numeric" "numeric" "numeric"
[13] "numeric" "numeric" "character"
> apply(d.f, 2, mode)
stn time gre000z0 prestas0 tre200s0 ure200s0
"character" "character" "character" "character" "character"
"character"
usp200s0 fve010z0 dkl010z0 chron CO_sync
CO2_dry_sync
"character" "character" "character" "character" "character"
"character"
CH4_dry_sync H2O_sync wd.bin
"character" "character" "character"
I am a bit vexed. I thought those two would be equivalent.
Cheers,
Brian
