r plotting multiple columns in df through a loop












0















a<-c(1,2,3,4) 

b<-c(1,2,3,4) 

c<-c(2,3,4,5)

f<-c(5,6,7,8)

p<-c(3,7,6,5)

df = data.frame(a,b,c,f,p)



for (i in c('c','f','p'))

    plot(df$a, df$i)


I am trying to use a loop to plot some columns of a df but df$columnName does not appear to select the correct columns.



I have also tried plot(a~i, df) and it does not work also. Please help!

  • Do you need matplot('colnames<-'(t(df[-1]), df$a), type = 'l')

I don't think you can use the df$ style of indexing for some variable that holds a string. If you switch to square brackets for column indexing (making sure not to forget the empty row index to select all rows) then you can use a variable holding a column name.



The following works to make three plots of the variables in your vector:



par(mfrow=c(3,1))

for (i in c('c','f','p'))

    plot(df[,'a'], df[,i])

            A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

            Image
            0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{...

            Calculate evaluation metrics using cross_val_predict sklearn

            Image
            1 In the sklearn.model_selection.cross_val_predict page it is stated: Generate cross-validated estimates for each input data point. It is not appropriate to pass these predictions into an evaluation metric. Can someone explain what does it mean? If this gives estimate of Y (y prediction) for every Y (true Y), why can't I calculate metrics such as RMSE or coefficient of determination using these results? python scikit-learn cross-validation share | improve this question edited Nov 28 '18 at 17:52 desertnaut 20.3k 7 43 79 ...
