I would like to create a column that contains the objects names inside a lapply function, as a proxy I call it name.of.x.as.strig.function(), unfortunately I am not sure how to do it, maybe a combination of assign, do.call and paste. But so far using this function only led my into deeper troubles, I am quite sure there is a more R like solution.
# generates a list of dataframes,
data <- list(data.frame(c(1,2),c(3,3)),data.frame(c(1,2),c(3,3)),data.frame(c(1,2),c(3,3)),data.frame(c(1,2),c(3,3)))
# assigns names to dataframe
names(data) <- list("one","two", "tree", "four")
# subsets the second column into the object data.anova
data.anova <- lapply(data, function(x){x <- x[[2]];
return(matrix(x))})
This should allow me to create a column inside the dataframe that contains its name, for all matrices inside the list
data.anova <- lapply(data, function(x){
x$id <- name.of.x.as.strig.function(x)
return(x)})
I would like to retrieve:
3 one
3 one
3 two
3 two
...
Any input is highly appreciated.
