I was wondering if there was a built-in function in R that would compute the standard deviation for columns just like colMeans computes mean for every column. It would be simple enough to write my own mini function (a compound command that invokes things like apply with sd), but I was wondering if there was already something I could use whilst also keeping my code looking clean.

To calculate the standard deviation in r, use the sd() function. The standard deviation of an observation variable in R is calculated by the square root of its variance. The sd in R is a built-in function that accepts the input object and computes the standard deviation of the values provided in the object.
Get standard deviation of multiple columns R using colSds() : Method 1. ColSds() Function along with sapply() is used to get the standard deviation of the multiple column. Dataframe is passed as an argument to ColSds() Function. standard deviation of numeric columns of the dataframe is calculated.
sd() function is used to compute the standard deviation of given values in R. It is the square root of its variance. Syntax: sd(x) Parameters: x: numeric vector.
To find the mean of multiple columns based on multiple grouping columns in R data frame, we can use summarise_at function with mean function.
The general idea is to sweep the function across. You have many options, one is apply():
R> set.seed(42) R> M <- matrix(rnorm(40),ncol=4) R> apply(M, 2, sd) [1] 0.835449 1.630584 1.156058 1.115269 R> Use colSds function from matrixStats library.
library(matrixStats) set.seed(42) M <- matrix(rnorm(40),ncol=4) colSds(M) [1] 0.8354488 1.6305844 1.1560580 1.1152688 If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
