Dear list, I have a data.frame with nine categorical variables (0,1,2 and NAs) that I would like to get the number of events for each of them. I can extract this using summary() for each variable at a time with the as.factor()argument (otherwise it will get me the mean value):
>summary(as.factor(mydf[,3])) 0 1 2 NA's 194 67 4 2 Trying to use apply() to get this for all the columns of the data.frame I cannot use as.factor because it works with vectors and not data.frames. Can anyone help me? Maybe a for loop would be good in this case instead, although I learnt that for loops are not recommended?
