R: Set up an array of NAs, solely from the list of dimnames

NArray {Epi} | R Documentation

## Set up an array of NAs, solely from the list of dimnames

### Description

Defines an array of NAs, solely from the list of dimnames

### Usage

    NArray( x, cells=NA )
    ZArray( x, cells=0 )

### Arguments

`x` | A (possibly named) list to be used as dimnames for the resulting array
`cells` | Value(s) to fill the array

### Details

This is a simple useful way of defining arrays to be used for collection of results. The point is that everything is defined from the named list, so in the process of defining what you want to collect, there is only one place in the program to edit. It's just a wrapper for `array`. `ZArray` is just a wrapper for `NArray` with a different default.

### Value

An array with `dimnames` attribute `x`, and all values equal to `cells`.

### Examples

    ftable(
    NArray( list(Aye = c("Yes", "Si", "Oui"),
                 Bee = c("Hum", "Buzz"),
                 Sea = c("White", "Black", "Red", "Dead") ) ) )
