Categorical Vectors

features

Categorical Vectors are a basic vector type with the following features:

• they have a fixed set of allowed values called 'levels' (similar to levels in factors)
• they can store alternative values for each level (for example labels, ranks, ...)
• each record in the vector can have more than one level 'selected' to allow storing multipe response data.
• they are desigend for easy creation of subclasses ("internal" alternative values and a class argument)
