Data Frames in R

A data frame in R is a two-dimensional data structure that can store data in tabular format, with rows and columns containing different data types. A data frame is created using the data.frame() function by specifying vectors for each column. Columns within a data frame can be accessed using [[]], $ operators, or [ ] which returns a data frame. Data frames can be combined vertically with rbind() and horizontally with cbind(), ensuring column names match when combining vertically. The length() and summary() functions provide information about a data frame.

R Data Frame
■ A data frame is a two-dimensional data structure which can store data in tabular format.
■ Data frames have rows and columns and each column can be a different vector. And
different vectors can be of different data types.
■ Before we learn about Data Frames, make sure you know about R vector.

Prof. Namyapriya Dayananda, Asst Professor, CSE, KSIT BCS358B


Create a Data Frame in R
The syntax of the data.frame() function is
■ dataframe1 <- data.frame(
■ first_col = c(val1, val2, ...),
■ second_col = c(val1, val2, ...),
■ ...
■ )
■ Here,
■ first_col - a vector with values val1, val2, ... of same data type
■ second_col - another vector with values val1, val2, ... of same data type and so on

Prof. Namyapriya Dayananda, Asst Professor, CSE, KSIT BCS358B


Access Data Frame Columns
■ Here, we have used different
operators to access Name
column of dataframe1.
■ Accessing with [[ ]] or $ is
similar. However, it differs for
[ ], [ ] will return us a data
frame but the other two will
reduce it into a vector and
return a vector.

Combine Data Frames
■ In R, we use the rbind() and the cbind() function to combine two data frames together.
■ rbind() - combines two data frames vertically
■ cbind() - combines two data frames horizontally
■ Combine Vertically Using rbind()
■ If we want to combine two data frames vertically, the column name of the two data
frames must be the same. For example,
■ Combine Horizontally Using cbind()
■ The cbind() function combines two or more data frames horizontally. For example,

Length & Summary of a Data Frame in R
■ In R, we use the length() function to find the number of columns in a data frame. For
example,
■ In R, we use the summary() function to find the details in a data frame. For example,
