Passing variable name

# 
Dear R users,

 ?

I have a data frame as below. In part 1, I have created a table for Gender and Hand, performed Chi-Square test and made graph using ggplot.

 ?

I want to replace the original variable names (Gender and Hand) with V1 and V2 and to be able to perform those things again as in #part 2. Is there a way to be able to replace the original names?

 ?

Any help is deeply appreciated

 ?

Kind Regards

Hi Bert, 

 

Thanks a lot for informing me regarding the html format of my email. 

 

I also would like to thank to Erdogan CEVHER and Jim LEMON for their kind reply/suggestions. Yes I am aware of names function in R which is not the one I am looking for in here. Let me try to explain in another way.

 

The below part includes data generation, making cross-tab, Chi-Squared test and bar plot through ggplot.

MyData<-data.frame("Gender" = c("F", "F", "F", "F", "M", "M", "M", "M", "M",     "M", "F", "F"),

                   "Gr" = c(1,  2,   1,   2,   1,   2,   1,   2,   1,   2,     1,   2) )

###############################################



Let?s say I have hundreds of variables (e.g SNP data). By using above codes I can perform what I need. However , I need to copy/paste variable name(s) for making table, Chi-Square test, and ggplot. This increase the chance of incorrectly copying/pasting variable name(s). What I can do is define variable name(s) earlier and pass that names to making table, Chi-Square test, and ggplot part. I believe there is a way to do it. I tried ?paste? function (as below), but it did not work either.



Any comment/help is deeply appreciated.



Kind Regards

Hello,

In my previous post I had meant something like the following.
The two important parts are the use of `[[` in table() and the use of 
get() in the ggplot call.


MyData<-data.frame("Gender" = c("F", "F", "F", "F", "M", "M", "M", "M", 
"M",     "M", "F", "F"),
                    "Hand" = c("R",   "R", "L", "L", "R", "R", "L", "L", 
"R",     "R", "L", "L"),
                    "Gr" = c(1,  2,   1,   2,   1,   2,   1,   2,   1, 
2,     1,   2) )

MyData <- within(MyData, {
   Gender  <- factor(Gender)
   Hand <- factor(Hand)
   Gr   <- factor(Gr)
})

V1 <- "Gender"
V2 <- "Hand"

MyT2 <- table(MyData[[V1]], MyData[[V2]])
MyT2

MyChi <- chisq.test(MyT2)
MyChi

name2 <- c(V1, V2, "Frequency")
dMyT <- as.data.frame(MyT2)
names(dMyT) <- name2

library(ggplot2)

ggplot(data = na.omit(dMyT), aes(get(V1), Frequency, fill = get(V2))) +
   geom_bar(position = "dodge", stat = "identity") +
   labs(x = V1, fill = V2)


Is this what you want?

Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas

There are endless ways to do what you want, Seyit. If you wish to remain in base R, using the names function on the left-hand side changes the names as in:

names(something) <- c("new", "names")

And in general, you may want to learn how to use an alternate set of methods that work well with ggplot in the tidyverse such as select() that lets you choose which columns of a data.frame (or tibble) to keep while optionally renaming them, and the rename() function and the mutate() function and ways to combine them to do lots of work. They also allow you to not use within() the way you are doing.

It is amusing you want names like V1. Indeed some R functions default to such names.
