similar to: read.table question #only need to change column names

Hi, I'm struggling to figure out the way to change the name of a column from within a loop. The problem is I can't refer to the object by its actual variable name, since that will change each time through the loop. My xts object is A. > head(A) A.Open A.High A.Low A.Close A.Volume A.Adjusted A.Adjusted.1 2007-01-03 34.99 35.48 34.05 34.30 2574600 34.30

Hi all, I have a very simple problem that I cannot seem to find the answer to. Consider the following toy dataset: x <- read.table(textConnection("V1 apples bananas cherries indv.1 7 8 4 3 indv.2 7 7 4 9"), header = TRUE) How would I change the column name of ONLY the first column, not the others? Surely I should not have to re-specify the names of ALL the columns -- e.g.,

Hi, I've got a quite tricky question. I have a txt file, named 'temp.txt', as the following: snp1 snp2 snp3 AA 00 00 GG GG 00 00 AA 00 I want to read the file into R. 1) when I use 'read.table' without 'header=T' option, > temp <- read.table('temp.txt') # I got > temp V1

I am trying to rename the column names of a data frame called "data". It has 177 columns. I have used : colnames(data) <- a where a is a vector with 177 character names. I don''t get any error message, but the column names don''t change because when I then type : colnames(data) I get the same set of names as before, so the assignment doesnt seem to have

Hi folks, I want to sort a matrix row-by-row and create a new matrix that contains the corresponding colnames of the original matrix. E.g. > set.seed(123) > a <- matrix(rnorm(20), ncol=4); colnames(a) <- c("A","B","C","D") > a A B C D [1,] -0.56047565 1.7150650 1.2240818 1.7869131 [2,]

folks, if i have three matrices, a, b, cc with some colnames in common, and i want to create a matrix which consists of the common columns added up, and the other columns tacked on, what's a good way to do it? i've got the following roundabout code for two matrices, but if the number of matrices increases, then i'm a bit stymied. > a <- matrix(1:20,ncol=4); colnames(a) <-

Hi I want to extract columns from a data frame using a vector with the desired column names. This short example uses the select argument in the subset function to accomplish what I am trying to do. Is there a better solution? #names of desired columns colnames <- c("col1","col3") #my data data <-

Hi! All, I am working on a correlation matrix of 4217x4217 named 'cor_expN'. I wish to obtain pairs with highest correlation values. So, I did this > b=matrix(data=NA,nrow=4217,ncol=1) > rownames(b)=rownames(cor_expN) > for(i in 1:4217){b[i,]=max(cor_expN[i,])} > head(b) [,1] aaeA_b3241_14 0.7181912 aaeB_b3240_15 0.7513084 aaeR_b3243_15 0.7681684

Hello R users, I have a set of data frames for which I am tallying row numbers, as shown below. > nrow(mC_Explant) [1] 14480 > nrow(mC_Callus) [1] 23320 > nrow(mC_RegenPlant) [1] 8108 etc. I want to create a new data frame which has the variable names as column headings, and then a single row with the nrow tallies. My first step was this: dfIntron <- c(nrow(mC_Explant),

Hi, Can someone please tell me how to change the column name of a specific column. How do I change the name of the column 'Species'? Thanks in advance d <- iris colnames(d) [1] "Sepal.Length" "Sepal.Width" "Petal.Length" "Petal.Width" "Species" ind <- which(names(d)=='Species') ind [1] 5 colnames(d[ind]) [1]

Dear all, I have following codes: colnames(data) = c("var", "var", "var") i = c(1,2,3) Now I want construct a "for" loop starting from 1 to 3 to give the new names of columns for dataframe "data" like below colnames(data) > c("var1", "var2", "var3") Definitely I could do this manually, however I want to put

Hi all, I am trying to concatenate words together to create new column names, using a loop. Please consider the following toy example: x <- matrix(nrow = 1, ncol = 3) colnames(x) <- c("a", "b", "c") x[1,1] <- "1" x[1,2] <- "2" x[1,3] <- "3" I would like to create a new matrix with column names based on the column names

Hi, Sorry for the simple question. Is there a way to change the name of only one column of an existing data frame? I know colnames allows you to set the name of all the columns, but only one column in the middle of my data frame needs a new name. Thanks, -Nina

Hello, I am using read.table to read files directly from a public ftp site. I have a general list of files that may or may not exist in the ftp directory, but my hope was that R would read the file if it existed and ignored it if it didn't exist and move on to the next one. However, when R arrives at a file that does not exist I get the error message "Error in file(file, "rt") :

Hello all, I have a data file table.txt which i have attached. I am trying to pass the columns as arguments to a function "totnorm" where i am displaying a total normalization plot.
