Another newbie question
Thank you all! In future I will include examples of my code to make things
simpler for you. This is what I settled on:
Sp.presence<-Data[,14:31] ##The subset of my data set I'm interested in
(the presence/absence data)
Sp.presence$Species<-apply(Sp.presence,1,function(x)
{c(paste(names(Sp.presence)[x==1],collapse=","))})
Yay!

Problem: I have a data frame with 1s and 0s denoting presence/absence of species (columns) for particular plot measurements (rows). What I want to do is make a new column whose entries for each row is a list of the column names in which a species is present (ie. for row one its entry might read: "sp1","sp2", etc.). I've tried various functions etc. but can't seem to get the syntax right/ the correct combination of functions. Thanks in advance! -Allen
