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
