I'm trying to write a simple function with a data parameter. tfun <- function(x, y, data = NULL) { if(missing(data)) dt <- data.frame(x=x, group=y) else { dt <- with(data, data.frame(x=x, group=y)) }
return(dt) } If I pass variables "weight" and "grp" from a data.frame, d, like this: tfun(d$weight, d$grp), the function works. However, if I try to do the same thing by supplying d, like this: tfun(weight, grp, data=d), I receive the following error: Error in data.frame(x = x, group = y) : object "weight" not found Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
