 as.matrix() Function in R Example

Example 1: Convert vector to the matrix using as.matrix()

R

# R program to convert an object to matrix

# Creating a vector
x <- c(1:9)

# Calling as.matrix() Function
as.matrix(x)

Output:

      [, 1]
 [1, ]    1
 [2, ]    2
 [3, ]    3
 [4, ]    4
 [5, ]    5

 [7, ]    7
 [8, ]    8
 [9, ]    9

Example 2: Convert Dataframe to the matrix using as.matrix()

R

# R program to convert an object to matrix

# Calling pre-defined data set
BOD

# Calling as.matrix() Function
as.matrix(BOD)

Output:
