Hi,
You could try:
dat1<- read.table(text="
X1,X2,X3
age,race,stat
12,2,35
17,6,55
",sep=",",header=TRUE,stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
colnames(dat1)<- dat1[1,]
dat1<- dat1[-1,]
dat1[]<-lapply(dat1,as.numeric)
row.names(dat1)<- 1:nrow(dat1)
dat1
# age race stat
#1 12 2 35
#2 17 6 55
A.K.

Hi Arun,
I have a data set as follow:
X1 X2 X3
age race stat
12235
17655
The column names are currently X1 X2 X3, but I want to drop them and have age,
race and stat as column names, like below:
age race stat
12235
17655
Do you know how to do that?
Thanks a lot.
