Yes, it is "matrix":

class(outer(x,y, "=="))
[1] "matrix"

in this case of "logical" values:

 > mode(outer(x,y, "=="))
[1] "logical"

Hi,

Could anyone tell me the name (if there is one) of the class of 
matrices (z) formed by:

a)  z<-outer(x,y, "==")

and

b) z<-outer(x,y, "!=")

Thanks in advance,

Jarrod.
