#' Create A Full Set of Dummy Variables
#'
#' \code{dummyVars} creates a full set of dummy variables (i.e. less than full
#' rank parameterization)
#'
#' Most of the \code{\link[stats]{contrasts}} functions in R produce full rank
#' parameterizations of the predictor data. For example,
#' \code{\link[stats]{contr.treatment}} creates a reference cell in the data
#' and defines dummy variables for all factor levels except those in the
#' reference cell. For example, if a factor with 5 levels is used in a model
#' formula alone, \code{\link[stats]{contr.treatment}} creates columns for the
#' intercept and all the factor levels except the first level of the factor.
#' For the data in the Example section below, this would produce:
#' \preformatted{ (Intercept) dayTue dayWed dayThu dayFri daySat daySun
#'            1      0      0      0      0      0      0
#'            1      0      0      0      0      0      0
#'            1      0      0      0      0      0      0
#'            1      0      1      0      0      0      0
#'            1      0      1      0      0      0      0
#'            1      0      0      0      1      0      0
#'            1      0      0      0      0      1      0
#'            1      0      0      0      0      1      0
#'            1      0      0      0      1      0      0}
#'
#' In some situations, there may be a need for dummy variables for all the
#' levels of the factor. For the same example:
#' \preformatted{ dayMon dayTue dayWed dayThu dayFri daySat daySun
#'       1      0      0      0      0      0      0
#'       1      0      0      0      0      0      0
#'       1      0      0      0      0      0      0
#'       0      0      1      0      0      0      0
#'       0      0      1      0      0      0      0
#'       0      0      0      0      1      0      0
#'       0      0      0      0      0      1      0
#'       0      0      0      0      0      1      0
#'       0      0      0      0      1      0      0}
#'
#' Given a formula and initial data set, the class \code{dummyVars} gathers all
#' the information needed to produce a full set of dummy variables for any data
#' set. It uses \code{contr.ltfr} as the base function to do this.
#'
#' \code{class2ind} is most useful for converting a factor outcome vector to a
#' matrix (or vector) of dummy variables.
#'
#' @aliases dummyVars dummyVars.default predict.dummyVars contr.dummy
#' contr.ltfr class2ind
#' @param formula An appropriate R model formula, see References
#' @param data A data frame with the predictors of interest
#' @param sep An optional separator between factor variable names and their
#' levels. Use \code{sep = NULL} for no separator (i.e. normal behavior of
#' \code{\link[stats]{model.matrix}} as shown in the Details section)
#' @param levelsOnly A logical; \code{TRUE} means to completely remove the
#' variable names from the column names
#' @param fullRank A logical; should a full rank or less than full rank
#' parameterization be used? If \code{TRUE}, factors are encoded to be
#' consistent with \code{\link[stats]{model.matrix}} and the resulting there
#' are no linear dependencies induced between the columns.
#' @param object An object of class \code{dummyVars}
#' @param newdata A data frame with the required columns
#' @param na.action A function determining what should be done with missing
#' values in \code{newdata}. The default is to predict \code{NA}.
#' @param n A vector of levels for a factor, or the number of levels.
#' @param contrasts A logical indicating whether contrasts should be computed.
#' @param sparse A logical indicating if the result should be sparse.
#' @param x A factor vector.
#' @param ... additional arguments to be passed to other methods
#' @return The output of \code{dummyVars} is a list of class 'dummyVars' with
#' elements \item{call }{the function call} \item{form }{the model formula}
#' \item{vars }{names of all the variables in the model} \item{facVars }{names
#' of all the factor variables in the model} \item{lvls }{levels of any factor
#' variables} \item{sep }{\code{NULL} or a character separator} \item{terms
#' }{the \code{\link[stats]{terms.formula}} object} \item{levelsOnly }{a
#' logical}
#'
#' The \code{predict} function produces a data frame.
#'
#' \code{class2ind} returns a matrix (or a vector if \code{drop2nd = TRUE}).
#'
#' \code{contr.ltfr} generates a design matrix.
