Operating on each row of data frame
Hi, does this do what you want? d <- cbind(d,apply(d[,c(2,3,4)],1,mean),apply(d[,c(2,3,4)],1,sd)) HTH, Stephan Abhishek Pratap schrieb:
Hi All
I have a data frame in which there are 4 columns .
Column 1 : name
Column 2-4 : values
I would like to calculate mean/Standard error of values in column 2-4 and
store them in column 5,6 respectively.
I have done the following but doesn't seem to work
mean_N_SE <-function(x)
{
name <- x[1]
vals <- c(x[2:4])
temp_mean <- mean(vals)
SE <- sqrt(var(x)/length(x))
}
apply(d,1,mean_N_SE) where d = data frame.
Can someone help me with this.
Thanks!
