I have a question, which very easy to solve, but I can't find a solution.
I want to convert a data frame to matrix. Here my toy example:
> L3 <- c(1:3)
> L10 <- c(1:6)
> d <- data.frame(cbind(x=c(10,20), y=L10), fac=sample(L3, + 6, repl=TRUE))
> d
x y fac
1 10 1 1
2 20 2 1
3 10 3 1
4 20 4 3
5 10 5 2
6 20 6 2
> is.data.frame(d)
[1] TRUE
> sapply(d, function(x) unlist(x, use.names=FALSE))
x y fac
[1,] 10 1 1
[2,] 20 2 1
[3,] 10 3 1
[4,] 20 4 3
[5,] 10 5 2
[6,] 20 6 2
> is.matrix(sapply(d, function(x) unlist(x, use.names=FALSE)))
[1] TRUE

Yes, I get a matrix TRUE. But I need to change a column name like [,1]
[,2] [,3]. I need the result like
[,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] 10 1 1
[2,] 20 2 1
[3,] 10 3 1
[4,] 20 4 3
[5,] 10 5 2
[6,] 20 6 2
How can I do that?
Thanks in advance, Muhammad Subianto
