oneOrDataset {compositions} | R Documentation

## Treating single compositions as one-row datasets

### Description

A dataset is converted to a data matrix. A single data item (i.e. a simple vector) is converted to a one-row data matrix.

### Usage

              oneOrDataset(W,B=NULL)

### Arguments

`W` | a vector, matrix or dataframe
`B` | an optional second vector, matrix or data frame having the intended number of rows.

### Value

A data matrix containing the same data as W. If W is a vector it is interpreded as a single row. If `B` is given and `length(dim(B))!= 2` and `W` is a vector, then `W` is repeated `nrow(B)` times.
