function f = levels(nlevels,nreps,length)
% PURPOSE: produces a variable vector of factor levels 
%---------------------------------------------------
% USAGE:     vfact  = levels(nlevels,nreps,length)
% where:     nlevels = # of levels
%            nreps   = # of repeated levels
%            length  = length of returned vector
%---------------------------------------------------
% RETURNS:
%        vfact = kron(1:nlevels,ones(nreps,1) repeated to
%                create a vector of length elements
% --------------------------------------------------
% SEE ALSO: indicator, tally
