It is sometimes important to know that row.names accesses the row names of a data frame, and rownames the first dimname of an array (including a matrix). They are almost equivalent, but not quite (e.g. row.names is generic and has methods for matrices and arrays).

So the example would optimally be

row.names(mf) <- namevector

This tests for the validity of the row names.

I have a question about changing rownames. In the following function I am plotting the regression coeficients with their corresponding mean. Right now, the labels on the plot and the rownames in the dataframe are x1,x2,x3...etc. Is there a way to make the row names the same as the variable name entered into the formula? I.E. if x1 was a vector called opinions, it would be labeled opinions on the plot instead of x1. I have tried using variations of rownames(x)<- namevector but have not been successful.

If your mf is your data frame

rownames(mf) <- namevector

with the same length should work.

BTW, If you have x1-x14 in data frame e.g. yourdf you can use

meanvec<-colMeans(yourdf, na.rm=TRUE)

I keep getting a null.  Any suggestions would be
appreciated

Quadplot<-function(y, x1, x2, x3 = NULL, x4  =
NULL,x5=NULL,x6=NULL,x7=NULL,x8=NULL,x9=NULL,x10=NULL,
x11=NULL, x12=NULL, x13=NULL, x14=NULL)

#section of code ommitted

my.formula <- as.formula("y ~ x1 + x2 + x3+ x4+ x5+
x6+ x7+ x8+ x9+x10+x11+x12+x13+x14")
outlm <- lm(my.formula)

#section of code ommitted

meanvec<-c(mean(x1,na.rm=TRUE),mean(x2,na.rm=TRUE),mean(x3,na.rm=TRUE)
,mean(x4,na.rm=TRUE),mean(x5,na.rm=TRUE),mean(x6,na.rm=TRUE),mean(x7,n
a.rm=TRUE),mean(x8,na.rm=TRUE),mean(x9,na.rm=TRUE),mean(x10,na.rm=TRUE
),mean(x11,na.rm=TRUE) ,mean(x12,na.rm=TRUE) ,mean(x13,na.rm=TRUE)
,mean(x14,na.rm=TRUE)) } meanper<-meanvec/6 meanper1<-meanper*100

#This is the data frame created
mf <- data.frame(Impact = abs(outlm$coef[-1]),
Performance = meanper1)

meanx<-mean(abs(outlm$coef[-1]))
meany<-mean(meanper1)
n<-length(meanvec)
color<-rep("blue",n)
color[(mf$Impact>meanx &
mf$Performance>meany)]<-"green"
color[(mf$Impact>meanx & mf$Performance<meany)]<-"red"
color[(mf$Impact<meanx &
mf$Performance>meany)]<-"gray"

plot((mf),col=color,main="Perfomance vs.
Impact",xlab="Impact",ylab="Performance", type = "n")
points(mf, pch=21, bg=color, cex=4)
text(x = mf$Impact, y = mf$Performance, labels =
rownames(mf))
abline(h=mean(mf$Performance))
abline(v=mean(mf$Impact))
print(mf)
}

Thanks
