Hello,
I�ve tried several times to learn R, but have never gotten past a particular
gate. My data are organized by column in Excel, with column headers in the
first row. The columns are of unequal lengths. I export them as CSV, then
import the CSV file into R. I wish to summarize the data by column. R inserts
NA for missing values, then refuses to operate on columns with NA. R is
importing my data into a data frame, and I realize that is inappropriate for
what I want to do.
How can I import my data so that I can work on columns of unequal length? The
first thing I would like to do is generate a table containing mean, median,
mode, standard deviation, min, max and count, all per column.
Thank you, Tom
Example data
Dat1 Dat2 Dat3
1 1 5 4
2 7 7 9
3 3 3 5
4 2 NA 5
5 9 NA NA
