hi there,
I need to subtract each value in the dataframe from the mean of the column
and divide by the
standard deviation of the column.


dim(a)
[1] 22011    52

data2 <- sapply(seq(from = 2, by = 1, length = 50), function(e){
rbind((a[[e]] - mean(a[,e]))/sd(a[,e]))
})

Does this look right????

It looks like the "hard way" ( and it's not clear why one would need rbind, either):

?scale

scale(a)



Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
RT
