Subject: [R] question regarding names() value assignment
I am having trouble assigning a name to single columns in a dataframe.
The following is an example using 0.64.1 and linux.
tmp is a dataframe.
> names(tmp)
[1] "some" "thing"
> names(tmp)<-c("else","again")
> names(tmp)
[1] "else" "again"
> names(tmp[2])
[1] "again"
> names(tmp[2])<-"altogether"
> names(tmp[2])
[1] "again"
Can anyone explain this behavior to me?
Thanks, Alex
