Functions cbind()
and rbind()
are defined in
the mice
package in order to
enable dispatch to cbind.mids()
and rbind.mids()
when one of the arguments is a data.frame
.
Arguments
- ...
(generalized) vectors or matrices. These can be given as named arguments. Other R objects may be coerced as appropriate, or S4 methods may be used: see sections ‘Details’ and ‘Value’. (For the
"data.frame"
method ofcbind
these can be further arguments todata.frame
such asstringsAsFactors
.)
Details
The standard base::cbind()
and base::rbind()
always dispatch to
base::cbind.data.frame()
or base::rbind.data.frame()
if one of the arguments is a
data.frame
. The versions defined in the mice
package intercept the user command
and test whether the first argument has class "mids"
. If so,
function calls cbind.mids()
, respectively rbind.mids()
. In
all other cases, the call is forwarded to standard functions in the
base
package.
