Hi folks,
Wish y'all a Happy New Year 2010!
I need some help with the following:
Say I have lots of data sets, on which I have to apply a certain function on
the same set of columns in each of the data set. Let's take, for ex, the
typical data set is:
df1 <- as.data.frame(cbind(rnorm(10),rnorm(10)))
names(df1)[1] <- "A"
names(df1)[2] <- "B"
There are many such data sets, df2,df3,... I have the names stored in a list
DF <- cbind("df1","df2",...,"df100")
I now need to apply the following function:
a <- lsfit(df1$A,df1$B)
and stack up the following results:
a$coef
Intercept X
-0.1479750 0.2485416
So, I would end up with as many rows as there are data sets.
I think sapply would be the function I should be looking for (at least I
have used it in the case of applying a function across different columns of
the same data set), but for some reason I'm not able to nail down the final
stages in this case.
Earlier, I used something like the following in the case of applying a
function across all columns(except the first) of the same data set:
my.func <- function(x){
mod <- lrm(my.data$y ~ x)
data.frame(t(anova(mod)[1, ]), R2 = mod$stats[10])
sapply(my.data[,-1],my.func)
Where I need help is how to pass the reference of the names of the different
data sets to the sapply funtion.
Thanks!
