It all depends on what you are going to do with the data. What you want to do can be accomplished with 'list', but probably not dataframes. So what is the problem you are trying to solve? Here is an example of how you can create a list with the information you want:
> x <- read.table(textConnection(" starting_time > Ending_time + session_1: 14:36:10 14:40:44 + session_2: 14:40:47 14:41:47 + session_3: 14:36:10 14:40:44 + session_4: 14:40:47 14:41:47 + session_5: 14:36:10 14:40:44 + session_6: 14:40:47 14:41:47"), header=TRUE) > closeAllConnections() > x.l <- as.list(x) > x.l$seq[1] <- list(c(4 ,3, 0 ,3 ,4 ,1, 0 ,1 ,4 ,3 ,4 ,3 ,4)) > x.l$seq[2] <- list(c(3,4,1,2)) > x.l$seq[3] <- NULL > x.l$seq[4] <- list(matrix(0,4,4)) > x.l $starting_time [1] 14:36:10 14:40:47 14:36:10 14:40:47 14:36:10 14:40:47 Levels: 14:36:10 14:40:47 $Ending_time [1] 14:40:44 14:41:47 14:40:44 14:41:47 14:40:44 14:41:47 Levels: 14:40:44 14:41:47 $seq $seq[[1]] [1] 4 3 0 3 4 1 0 1 4 3 4 3 4 $seq[[2]] [1] 3 4 1 2 $seq[[3]] NULL $seq[[4]] [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [1,] 0 0 0 0 [2,] 0 0 0 0 [3,] 0 0 0 0 [4,] 0 0 0 0 On Wed, Mar 11, 2009 at 8:49 AM, Tammy Ma <metal_lical...@live.com> wrote: > I have produced the data frame(1) as: > starting_time Ending_time > session_1: 14:36:10 14:40:44 > session_2: 14:40:47 14:41:47 > ........ > > for each session, I produced different sequences as: > seq_1<-c(4 ,3, 0 ,3 ,4 ,1, 0 ,1 ,4 ,3 ,4 ,3 ,4) > seq_2<-c(3,4,1,2) > seq_3<-Null > .... > > I want to put those to the 3rd column of data frame (1) corresponding the > individual session. > How could I do so? > > Originally, I want to create a data frame with each row contains different > sequence and then put to 3rd column, which seems > couldn't be done. > > thanks. > > Tammy > > >> Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2009 07:50:37 -0400 >> Subject: Re: [R] Date frame >> From: jholt...@gmail.com >> To: metal_lical...@live.com >> CC: r-help@r-project.org >> >> It is called a "list". >> >> On Wed, Mar 11, 2009 at 6:32 AM, Tammy Ma <metal_lical...@live.com> wrote: >> > >> > Hi, All, >> > >> > How to make a data frame, each row of data frame store the different >> > length of vector? >> > >> > Thanks. >> > Tammy >> > >> > _________________________________________________________________ >> > Show them the way!
