Hi,
how can I tell 'summary' to print the name of the summarised variable? This is probably an awkward newbie question but I didn't find an answer in the Docus, the FAQ and maillist archive.
I want a summary for about 250 variables and realise it the following way (I know, that I shouldn't use iterations that way in R; but at the moment it's the easiest way for me):
for(i in fb.12.unt[varA1:varZ9]){print (summary(i, na.rm=t))}
Given fb.12.unt is a list or data.frame, lapply(fb.12.unt, summary, na.rm = TRUE) or sapply(fb.12.unt, summary, na.rm = TRUE) might do what you want.
Yes, it does :-)! Thanks a lot.
BTW: "na.rm=t" is wrong anyway ...
Sure, actually I used "na.rm=T" -- but not "TRUE". My alleged knowledge about this is based on a book about S and S-Plus. I'm still waiting for "An Introductory in R" as I wrote in a mail some days ago. I can not read Docus on a monitor, I need paper in my hand =).
