Extending sapply to Apply List of Variables and Saving Output as List of Data Frames in R
Extending an sapply to Apply List of Variables and Saving Output as List of Data Frames in R Introduction The sapply function in R is a convenient way to apply a function to each element of a vector or matrix. However, when working with complex datasets, it’s often necessary to extend this functionality to apply the same operation to multiple variables simultaneously. In this article, we will explore how to achieve this using R’s apply family and explore ways to save the results as a list of data frames.
