Kevin, The short answer is no.
The function table() takes in the vectors provided as arguments, counts the number of occurrences of each category by adding the integer 1L to a bin (one for each category or factor level), and at the end it returns the counts in each bin. Since it does not return the vectors, those values that went into the function do not survive the trip. Mark R. Mark Sharp, Ph.D. msh...@txbiomed.org > On Mar 17, 2017, at 7:23 AM, Kevin E.
