Sending each row of a datatframe, dfm, as a vector to a function, fcn, is as simple as;

apply(dfm, 1, fcn)

e.g.:

> dfm <- data.frame(x=rnorm(10), y=rnorm(10), z=rnorm(10))
>
> apply(dfm, 1, sum)
[1] 0.7385838 -3.1819193 0.3415670 -0.6552601 -1.3470174 -0.6446259 -0.6544967
 [8]  0.1778169 -0.3330527  0.6246071

And with the second argument set to 2, you would get a columnwise application of the function.

You need to show us what your function looks like to go any further. I am unclear how one could get a function that only operates on a single row to yield an outlier classification.

Hi!

I'm trying to implement an outlier test once/row in a large dataframe.
Ideally, I'd do this then add the Pvalue results and the number flagged as an outlier as two new separate columns to the dataframe. Grubbs outlier test requires a vector and I'm confused how to make each row of my dataframe a vector, followed by doing a Grubbs test for each row containing the vector
of numbers I want to perform the outlier test on.

I'm new to R and no doubt this is a simple problem. Any help you might
provide would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance!!
