Re: [R] Trying to fix code that will find highest 5 column names and their associated values for each row in a data frame in R

Hi generated DF is not what you expect it is > set.seed(1) > DF <- matrix(sample(1:9,9),ncol=10,nrow=9) > DF [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] [,8] [,9] [,10] [1,]333333333 3 [2,]999999999 9 [3,]5

Re: [R] Trying to fix code that will find highest 5 column names and their associated values for each row in a data frame in R

There are some problems with your example. Your code does not produce anything like your example data frame because you draw only 9 values without replacement. Your code produces 10 columns, each with the same permutation of the values 1:9. Then your desired output does not make sense in terms

I have a data frame each with 10 variables of integer data for various attributes about each row of data, and I need to know the highest 5 variables related to each of row in this data frame and output that to a new data frame. In addition to the 5 highest variable names, I also need to
