Is there a way in R to have a variable evaluated as a column name when creating a data frame (or in similar situations like using cbind)?
For example
a <- "mycol";
d <- data.frame(a=1:10)
this creates a data frame with one column named a
rather than mycol
.
This is less important than the case that would help me remove quite a few lines from my code:
a <- "mycol";
d <- cbind(some.dataframe, a=some.sequence)
My current code has the tortured:
names(d)[dim(d)[2]] <- a;
which is aesthetically barftastic.
Is structure(data.frame(1:10),names="mycol")
aesthetically pleasing to you? :-)
