im completely confused. could someone please help. i have a series of data (0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0) and i need to create a data frame with it. but what is a data frame? thankyou :)
A data frame is similar to a matrix- however each column may be of a different data type (character, number, logical, factor, ect.) and each column has a name. Using the names a data frame may be manipulated as a collection of vectors of the same length. Look at ?data.frame for more information on data frames. The function as.data.frame may be able to convert your data into a data frame object. However, I cannot say if the object created by as.data.frame would satisfy your needs without further manipulation since you did not specify why you need a data frame. Are you calling some function that demands a data frame as an input? If so, which function?
