similar to: assign colnames to data

Patrick, Thanks. I tried colnames, but it doesn't work. Seems more transformation is needed. But now I got names, that's good enough. Best.

Hello, I’m trying to follow the syntax of a script from a journal website. In order to create a regression formula used later in the script, the regression matrix must have column names “X1”, “X2”, etc. I have tried to assign these column names to my matrix ScoutRSM.mat using a for loop, but I don’t know how to interpret the error message. Suggestions? Thanks, Paul

Dear R-listers, I am trying to assign colnames to a data frame within a loop, but I keep getting a "target of assignment expands to non-language object"-error. I need to split up a large dataset into about 20 smaller ones, and I would like to assign colnames within the loop, so I won't have to type the same thing 20 times over. I have concocted this really goofy example which

Hi, I would like to add a prefix to colnames in a matrix but I can't get the prefix option in colnames to work.

I have a list of file names, and a list of data frames contained in those files. mynames <- list.files() mydata <- lapply(mynames, read.delim) Every file contains two columns. > colnames(mydata[[1]]) [1] "Name" "NumReads" > colnames(mydata[[2]]) [1] "Name" "NumReads" I can set the colnames easily enough with a for loop. for (i in

I noticed something surprising (in R 2.2.1 on WinXP) According to the documentation, rownames and colnames are character vectors. Assigning a vector of class POSIXct or POSIXlt as rownames or colnames therefore is not strictly according to the rules. In some cases, R performs a reasonable typecast, but in some other cases where the same typecast also would be possible, it does not. Assigning a

Hi All, Im interested in creating a function that will convert a variable within a data.frame to a factor while retaining the original name (yes, I know that I can just: var <-factor(var) but I need it as a function for other purposes). e.g.: # this was an attempt but fails. facts <- function(meta, mod, modname = "spec") { meta$mod <- factor(meta$mod)

hi, I have a conversion table for colnames like this: Probe_ID HUMAN_LLID 1 AF106325_PROBE1 7052 2 NM_019386_PROBE1 7052 3 NM_012907_PROBE1 339 4 AW917796_PROBE1 84196 5 L27651_PROBE1 10864 The Probe_ID contains a list of colnames for another data.frame, say x1. I need to convert such colnames to another ID's system, HUMAN_LLID by using the table.

Hi all I was wondering whether there has ever been an update on the rownames and colnames behaviour as described by Eric below? I still get the same behaviour, exactly as described by Eric, on my WinXP installation of R-2.3.0. I also posted a message to r-help on Friday but looking through the online archives it seems to have not made it to the list. I would agree with Eric that a consistent

The help text for row+colnames {base} states: "For a data frame, rownames and colnames eventually call row.names and names respectively, but the latter are preferred." Why are they "preferred"? Why is it names(), not col.names()? I have only ever used names() for vectors - I'm surprised it works on data.frames... IMO this is not great for code readability, thus

Hi, I am working on some microarray data, and have some problems with writing iterations. In essence, the problem is that objects with three dimensions don't have rownames and colnames. These colnames and rownames would otherwise still be there in 2 dimensional objects. I need to generate multiple iterations of a 2 means-clustering algorithm, and these objects thus probably need 3

Data frames are lists of columns. The names() function is appropriate for lists. It doesn't pay to fall into the trap of thinking that data frames are truly symmetric between columns and rows, because there is a performance penalty for accessing rows that is greater than the cost of accessing columns. With that in mind, thinking of data frames as lists is preferred, so names is preferred

Full_Name: Tomas Larsson Version: 2.6.0 OS: Windows XP Submission from: (NULL) (198.208.251.24) This is not a bug, it is a performance issue but I think it should have an easy fix. I have a large matrix (about 2,000,000 by 20), when I type colnames(x) it takes a long time to get the result. However, if I select just the first couple of rows of the matrix I don't have to wait for the

Dear all, I have a data frame of dimension 720 columns by 360 rows, to which I am trying to add numerical row and column labels to, using the 'sequence' command. The original data, which I read in using 'read.table', had no such labels at all. I've got as far as successfully using the sequence command and getting the labels to display. However, I'm finding that for the

Dear R-help, I wonder if you could give me some suggestions in how to do a union join of two data frames as follow: -> union join the common column, and insert a 0 if one is missing. I made a function to perform the following, and I know it may not that quite welly written, but it works. Any suggestions are welcome, many thanks. Anthony > q1 =
