If you want to scale within columns, you could try
cbind( scale(df[,1:2]), df[ ,-c(1:2)] )
a b c d
1 -1 -1 7 10
2 0 0 8 11
3 1 1 9 12
and it is data.frame() btw.

Dear all,
I have a dataframe:
df<-dataframe(a=c(1,2,3),b=c(4,5,6),c=c(7,8,9),d=c(10,11,12))
I want to obtain a new dataframe with columns a and b being standardized
((x-mean(x))/sd(x)); the other two columns (c,d) I want to leave
unchanged. What is the best way to achieve this? I have been trying to
use subscripts but did not succeed so far.
Any tips?
Many thanks,
Olga
