Dear R users,
I wonder how I can use R to identify the max value of each row, the column
number column name:
For example:
a <- data.frame(x = rnorm(4), y = rnorm(4), z = rnorm(4))
> a
x y z
1 -0.7289964 0.2194702 -2.4674780
2 1.0889353 0.3167629 -0.9208548
3 -0.6374692 -1.7249049 0.6567313
4 -0.1348642 0.4507473 -1.7309010
In this data frame, I compare y and z only.
What I need:
x y z
max max.col.num max.col.name
1 -0.7289964 0.2194702 -2.4674780 0.2194702 2
y
2 1.0889353 0.3167629 -0.9208548 0.3167629 2
y
3 -0.6374692 -1.7249049 0.6567313 0.6567313 3
z
4 -0.1348642 0.4507473 -1.7309010 0.4507473 2
y
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Gary
