Sets the "contrasts" attribute for the factor.
C(object, contr, how.many, ...)
object |
a factor or ordered factor |
contr |
which contrasts to use. Can be a matrix with one row for
each level of the factor or a suitable function like
|
how.many |
the number of contrasts to set, by default one less
than |
... |
additional arguments for the function |
For compatibility with S, contr can be treatment,
helmert, sum or poly (without quotes) as shorthand
for contr.treatment and so on.
