Glad you found an answer, though it looks more self-educational than efficient (see suggestions below). In the future, follow the recommendations of the Posting Guide: use plain text, and provide a reproducible example. Some elaborations on what "reproducible" means are [1][2][3]. One issue here was that you did not include sample data to work with (I have assumed below that ann_bias has no other columns than the biasNNNN columns, which is not the usual case).
There are a number of ways to achieve the reshaping of your ann_bias data frame that are less painful than your approach. For example, the base R "stack" function: bias2 <- stack( ann_bias ) names( bias2 ) <- c( "bias", "year ) levels( bias2$year ) <- sub( "bias", "", levels( bias2$year ) ) Or... if you are willing to venture into the tidyverse... library(dplyr) library(tidyr) bias3 <- ( ann_bias %>% gather( year, bias ) %>% mutate( year = factor( sub( "bias", "", year ) ) ) ) [1] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example [2] http://adv-r.had.co.nz/Reproducibility.html [3] https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/reprex/index.html -- Sent from my phone.
