Hi All,
There are a variety of functions that can be applied to a variable
(column) in a data frame: mean, min, max, sd, range, IQR, etc.
I am aware of only two that work on the rows, using q1-q3 as example
variables:
rowMeans(cbind(q1,q2,q3),na.rm=T) #mean of multiple variables
rowSums (cbind(q1,q2,q3),na.rm=T) #sum of multiple variables
Can the standard column functions (listed in the first sentence) be
applied to rows, with the use of correct indexes to reference the
columns of interest? Or, must these summary functions be programmed
separately to work on a row?
Thanks,
Gerard
