Dear All,
Thank you for helping me out.
First, I am sorry for adding a HTML element. I was not aware of it. I simply
copy and pasted the output of mat_data from R studio.
Second, no it is not homework. It was part of a side project at work.
Third, thank you Jeff. Your comment was really productive. I discovered two
alternatives:
1) mat_data = as.matrix(sapply(x[,2:ncol(x)], percent))
2) mat_data = as.matrix(sapply(x[,2:ncol(x)], as.numeric)*100)
mat_data = round(mat_data,1)
Regards,
Christoph
