将列名分配给数据框列表

时间:2021-04-28 22:59:47

I have a list of dataframes, whose columns have names.

我有一个数据框列表,其列有名称。

If I want to change the names of the dataframes within the list (rather than the names of the parent list), I cannot access them directly via names() or colnames(), rather I must use lapply() to get the names.

如果我想更改列表中数据框的名称(而不是父列表的名称),我无法通过names()或colnames()直接访问它们,而是必须使用lapply()来获取名称。

However, if I use lapply to return the column names, then they only exist within the lapply call, and I cannot assign new names to the list in the parent environment.

但是,如果我使用lapply返回列名,那么它们只存在于lapply调用中,并且我无法在父环境中为列表分配新名称。

Here's a MWE below:

这是下面的MWE:

1/ Create the object

1 /创建对象

require(xts)
data(sample_matrix)
x <- as.xts(sample_matrix)
y <- lapply(split(x, "months"), data.frame)

2/ The column names of the dataframes are not directly accessible

2 /无法直接访问数据框的列名

names(y)

NULL

空值

colnames(y)

NULL

空值

3/ We can try to use lapply

3 /我们可以尝试使用lapply

lapply(y, function(z) names(z) <- c('Op', 'Hi', 'Lo', 'Clo'))

[[1]]

[[1]]

[1] "Op" "Hi" "Lo" "Clo" ...

[1]“Op”“Hi”“Lo”“Clo”......

But it hasn't actually assigned names to the object.

但它实际上没有为对象分配名称。

You can use setNames...

你可以使用setNames ...

lapply( y , setNames , nm = c('Op', 'Hi', 'Lo', 'Clo') )
#[[1]]
#                 Op       Hi       Lo      Clo

This is a convenience function that sets the names on an object and returns the object. It is most useful at the end of a function definition where one is creating the object to be returned and would prefer not to store it under a name just so the names can be assigned.

这是一个便捷函数,用于设置对象上的名称并返回该对象。它在函数定义的最后是最有用的,其中一个是创建要返回的对象,并且不希望将它存储在名称下,以便可以分配名称。
