[R] Group a dinamic number of vectors in a data.frame

[Dimitris Rizopoulos]

one way is:

N1 <- rnorm(4)
N2 <- rnorm(4)
N3 <- rnorm(4)
N4 <- rnorm(4)
X1 <- LETTERS[1:4]
###################
nams <- c(paste("N", 1:4, sep = ""), "X1")
dat <- data.frame(lapply(nams, get))
names(dat) <- nams
dat

# check also
sapply(dat, data.class)


I hope it helps.

Best,
Dimitris
