[R] Refer to Data Frame Name Inside a List
Dear R Helpers, I have a fairly complicated list of data frames. To give you an idea of the structure, the top of the str output is shown below. How do I refer to the data.frame name for each data.frame in the list? That is, how can I pull the terms Advertising2007, AirFreightDelivery2007, Apparel2007 etc. out of the list? I need them to keep track of correlations that I am doing inside each data frame of the list. Apologies for not sending a reproducible example. I am hoping that someone knows this off the top of their head. --John Sparks str(ResList) List of 60 $ Advertising2007 :'data.frame': 21 obs. of 10 variables: ..$ RFPred : num [1:21] -0.01749 -0.00801 -0.01155 -0.01494 -0.03715 ... ..$ marsPred : num [1:21] 0.0901 0.0127 0.0616 0.0618 -0.0559 ... ..$ GainRepAft3 : num [1:21] -0.0673 -0.0183 -0.2353 0.0294 -0.059 ... ..$ Industry : chr [1:21] Advertising2007 Advertising2007 Advertising2007 Advertising2007 ... ..$ dateavail: Factor w/ 346 levels 2008-02-01,2008-02-13,..: 18 4 14 12 13 19 1 15 17 8 ... ..$ FinYearEnd : Factor w/ 12 levels 2007-12-01,2007-03-01,..: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ... ..$ GainAft1Aft30: num [1:21] -0.2376 -0.1384 -0.1176 0.0145 0.0527 ... ..$ GainAft1Aft60: num [1:21] -0.36212 -0.17801 -0.23529 -0.00501 -0.27414 ... ..$ GainAft1Aft90: num [1:21] -0.516 -0.203 -0.176 0.024 -0.241 ... ..$ groups : Factor w/ 40 levels -0.04013239,..: 4 11 8 6 1 1 10 13 2 5 ... $ AirFreightDelivery2007 :'data.frame': 20 obs. of 10 variables: ..$ RFPred : num [1:20] 0.00322 -0.00351 0.034 0.01095 0.02237 ... ..$ marsPred : num [1:20] -0.013 -0.109 0.0662 0.0353 0.0662 ... ..$ GainRepAft3 : num [1:20] 0.0344 -0.0659 0.054 0.045 0.0266 ... ..$ Industry : chr [1:20] AirFreightDelivery2007 AirFreightDelivery2007 AirFreightDelivery2007 AirFreightDelivery2007 ... ..$ dateavail: Factor w/ 346 levels 2008-02-01,2008-02-13,..: 22 10 26 33 35 32 25 23 31 10 ... ..$ FinYearEnd : Factor w/ 12 levels 2007-12-01,2007-03-01,..: 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 3 1 1 ... ..$ GainAft1Aft30: num [1:20] -0.0656 -0.1539 -0.1002 -0.0694 -0.4101 ... ..$ GainAft1Aft60: num [1:20] -0.133 -0.141 -0.242 -0.691 -0.212 ... ..$ GainAft1Aft90: num [1:20] -0.0523 -0.0673 -0.1793 -0.6875 -0.187 ... ..$ groups : Factor w/ 40 levels -0.04013239,..: 24 16 39 32 37 21 17 30 35 37 ... $ Apparel2007 :'data.frame': 28 obs. of 10 variables: ..$ RFPred : num [1:28] 0.011439 0.021311 0.014564 0.018168 -0.000892 ... ..$ marsPred : num [1:28] -0.001463 0.0345 0.027227 -0.000129 -0.006483 ... __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
