Assuming 'my.data' is a data.frame object then data.matrix(my.data) should do
the job.
Be careful that all elements of your data frame are compatible (i.e. all
numeric) or you may get weird results.

Subject: [S] converting data type from data.frame to matrix or vector
folks,
I'm creating column vectors and matrices of data in SAS and then importing
them individually into Splus.
When I do this each item has data type "data.frame" and I want to convert
some of them into data type "matrix" and others into data type "vector".
Is there a quick and easy way to do this? I've been playing with menu and
dialog boxes to no avail.
thanks,
Terrence E. Murphy, Ph.D.
