Dear R Helpers,
I have a fairly complicated list of data frames. To give you an idea of
the structure, the top of the str output is shown below.
How do I refer to the data.frame name for each data.frame in the list?
That is, how can I pull the terms Advertising2007, AirFreightDelivery2007,
Apparel2007 etc. out of the list? I need them to keep track of
correlations that I am doing inside each data frame of the list.
Apologies for not sending a reproducible example. I am hoping that
someone knows this off the top of their head.
