Hi all,
Suppose I want to set the values in a column to the log of the values
of another column like so:
object$LogDist <- log10(object$Distance)
How do I loop through the objects if I have object1, object2, etc to
perform this function?
object1$LogDist <- log10(object1$Distance)
object2$LogDist <- log10(object2$Distance)
object3$LogDist <- log10(object3$Distance)
I was trying to use the assign and paste functions like so:
for (i in c(1:10))
assign(paste("object",i,"$LogDist"),log10(as.name(paste("object",i,"$LogDist")))
but that didn't work out. It creates objects with whole name
object1$LogDist instead of just manipulating the column that's part of
that object.
Help appreciated,
Vivek
