Hi JR, t(EmpCo)
gives what you want. See ?t for details. You can also do this with reshape: library(reshape) EmpCo$Label <- rownames(EmpCo) recast(EmpCo, variable ~ Label, measure.var=c("TRN", "TRN_CLUST")) but in this case t() seems a bit quicker and easier. -Ista On Mon, Mar 22, 2010 at 6:37 PM, LCOG1 <jr...@lcog.org> wrote: > > Hi All, > > Consider the following: > TRN<-c(5.809657,3.1, 1.774901e-02) > TRN_CLUST<-c(-4.174682e-05, 5.538742e-05,1.2) > EmpCo<-data.frame(TRN,TRN_CLUST) > row.names(EmpCo)<-c("Slope","Fwy","Univ") > > returns: > TRN TRN_CLUST > Slope 5.80965700 -4.174682e-05 > Fwy 3.10000000 5.538742e-05 > Univ 0.01774901 1.200000e+00 > > Now my own data is actually first constructed into list form(see below) so > perhaps it would be easier to perform the rows to columns operation from > that. > > List form: > $TRN > Slope Fwy UnivDist > 5.80965700 3.10000000 0.01774901 > > What i would like to do is switch the rows to columsn so that the above now > shows: > > Slope Fwy Univ > TRN 5.809657 3.1 0.01774901 > TRN_CLUST -4.17E-05 5.54E-05 1.20E+00 > > > Tried some things from the reshape package but i dont think thats what i > want.
