I try to calculate descriptive statistics for one of the variables in the data frame, however command sapply calculates these statistics for every value of the variable separately. How to make it calculate range (as well as other statistics) for all column?
Here are commands and results: > as1$trust [1] 5.957510 5.888664 6.168135 6.419472 5.668796 6.026923 6.456721 7.017946 5.294411 [10] 7.296844 6.479167 5.009000 7.149073 5.932667 5.991000 5.327137 5.453230 5.650350 [19] 5.295608 5.518337 4.875000 6.637000 5.891014 6.726055 10.695650 5.490983 7.290476 [28] 5.728543 4.103689 8.421315 > des.trust <- sapply(as1$trust, range, na.rm=TRUE) > des.trust [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] [,8] [,9] [,10] [1,] 5.95751 5.888664 6.168135 6.419472 5.668796 6.026923 6.456721 7.017946 5.294411 7.296844 [2,] 5.95751 5.888664 6.168135 6.419472 5.668796 6.026923 6.456721 7.017946 5.294411 7.296844 [,11] [,12] [,13] [,14] [,15] [,16] [,17] [,18] [,19] [,20] [,21] [1,] 6.479167 5.009 7.149073 5.932667 5.991 5.327137 5.45323 5.65035 5.295608 5.518337 4.875 [2,] 6.479167 5.009 7.149073 5.932667 5.991 5.327137 5.45323 5.65035 5.295608 5.518337 4.875 [,22] [,23] [,24] [,25] [,26] [,27] [,28] [,29] [,30] [1,] 6.637 5.891014 6.726055 10.69565 5.490983 7.290476 5.728543 4.103689 8.421315 [2,] 6.637 5.891014 6.726055 10.69565 5.490983 7.290476 5.728543 4.103689 8.421315 tomii <t.klep...@gmail.com> [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
