Convert a ragged list into a matrix of characters

The function transforms a ragged list into a matrix of characters. It is used in mixAR for output visualisation purposes.

Usage

ragged2char(raglist, filler = NA_character_)

Arguments

raglist: A ragged list (from raggedCoef).
filler: The character filling order mismatches.

Details

ragged2char converts a ragged list into a character matrix with as many columns as the longest component of the list, filling the missing entries with the values of argument filler. The latter defaults to NA.

In MixAR context the i-th row represents the AR coefficients for the i-th component.

Value

a character matrix

#> [2,] " 1.510" "1.522" NA     
#> [3,] "10.311" "1.310" "1.313"
ragged2char(li1, "")
#>      [,1]     [,2]    [,3]
