Possibly make aops:dims ignore row-names column #6

Closed Symbolics closed 3 years ago

Symbolics commented 3 years ago

aops:dims for data-frame includes the column typically called row-name. This is often in a CSV with a blank column name, e.g. "". By convention this is typically the row names for the data set. R ignores these, and dplyr has a small toolbox for working with row names.

How we handle row names should be though through before making changes, so I'm leaving this as is for the moment and living with the inconsistency with what's reported from data-frame (which removes the row-name column) and the more array/matrix oriented aops:dims.

Done. Any column named row-name is excluded from the summaries.
