How to transform data frames to matrices in the R programming language. More details: statisticsglob...
R code of this video:
my_df ＜- data.frame(x1 = 3:8, # Create data frame
x2 = 10:5,
x3 = 4)
my_df # Print data frame
class(my_df) # Class of data
my_mat ＜- as.matrix(my_df) # Convert data frame to matrix
my_mat # Print matrix
class(my_mat) # Class of data
my_df_fac ＜- my_df # Duplicate data
my_df_fac$x2 ＜- as.factor(my_df_fac$x2) # Convert column to factor
my_mat_fac ＜- as.matrix(my_df_fac) # Using as.matrix function
my_mat_fac # Print character matrix
my_mat_num ＜- apply(as.matrix.noquote(my_df_fac), # Using apply function
2,
as.numeric)
my_mat_num # Print numeric matrix

The idea for the next videos: you could review and explain difficult SO questions & answers. Also, you could explain and review some shiny code.

[@StatisticsGlobe]

Hey, actually I'm working a lot with Shiny at the moment, and I have planned to release tutorials on Shiny in the future :) Thanks a lot for the suggestions!

[@vanhoot2234]

Do you have a video that does the opposite
