There is a global option controlling this. So if anyones analysis is broken, they can still set options(stringsAsFactors=TRUE).
Furthermore the functions that are inherently about factors (like expand.grid and as.data.frame.table) still use stringsAsFactors=TRUE.
- SifJar 6y ago> So if anyones analysis is broken, they can still set options(stringsAsFactors=TRUE). But what are the chances that someone stumbling upon supposedly reproducible analysis happens to know that in R >4.0.0 they need to do this? Especially if the original analysis didn't even specify that it was originally run on R <4.0.0
- einpoklum 6y agoThere's a good chance they'll assume they need an R version from when the analysis was published, or to enable some sort of "old version compatibility mode" (does R have that?)
