How to use data.frame() function In R Language
In this approach we will utilize The data.frame() function to convert tibble to a data frame.Usually this function is used to create data frames in R. This function can combine vectors, matrices, or other data frames into a single data frame.
below example we have created a sample tibble which we have passed to The data.frame() function as argument. This will result into conversion of tibble into a data frame.
R
# Create a Tibble library (tibble) tibble_data <- tibble ( Name = c ( "john" , "smith" , "virat" , "rohit" , "ayyer" ), Age = c (32, 25, 30, 29, 20), ID = c ( "a" , "b" , "c" , "d" , "e" ) ) tibble_data print ( class (tibble_data)) # Convert Tibble to Data Frame df_data <- data.frame (tibble_data) # Print the Data Frame print (df_data) print ( class (df_data)) |
Output:
A tibble: 5 × 3 Name Age ID <chr> <dbl> <chr> 1 john 32 a 2 smith 25 b 3 virat 30 c 4 rohit 29 d 5 ayyer 20 e [1] "tbl_df" "tbl" "data.frame" Name Age ID 1 john 32 a 2 smith 25 b 3 virat 30 c 4 rohit 29 d 5 ayyer 20 e [1] "data.frame"
Below code converts the combined Tibbles and Vectors to data frame.
R
library (tibble) # Create a sample Tibble sample_tibble <- tibble ( A = c (1, 2, 3), B = c ( "apple" , "banana" , "cherry" ) ) # Create a vector vector_c <- c ( "cat" , "dog" , "elephant" ) # Convert Tibble and vector to a Data Frame using data.frame() function df <- data.frame (sample_tibble, C = vector_c) # Print the combined Data Frame print (df) |
Output:
A B C
1 1 apple cat
2 2 banana dog
3 3 cherry elephant
In below example we will convert a combined Tibble and matrix to a data frame.
R
library (tibble) # Create a sample Tibble sample_tibble <- tibble ( A = c (1, 2, 3), B = c ( "apple" , "banana" , "cherry" ) ) # Create a sample matrix sample_matrix <- matrix (4:9, ncol = 2) # Convert Tibble and matrix to a Data Frame using data.frame() function df <- data.frame (sample_tibble, sample_matrix) # Print the combined Data Frame print (df) |
Output:
A B X1 X2
1 1 apple 4 7
2 2 banana 5 8
3 3 cherry 6 9
Conclusion
Converting a tibble
to a data frame in R using the as.data.frame
function. While tibbles offer enhanced functionality and a more user-friendly display, there might be situations where using a traditional data frame is necessary or preferred. The conversion allows for compatibility with functions or packages that specifically expect a standard data frame structure. The seamless interchangeability between tibbles and data frames in R provides flexibility for data manipulation and analysis within the broader R ecosystem.
Convert Tibble to Data Frame in R
Tibbles are a type of data frame in R Programming Language that has an enhanced print method, making it easier to display data. However, in some situations, we may need to convert a tibble to a data frame. So, in this article, we will explore some approaches to convert tibbles to data frames.
- Tibble: tibble is a modern version of a data frame in R, provided by the tibble package. Tibbles have better printing and subsetting behavior than traditional Data frames.
- Data Frame: A data frame is a data structure in R that is used for storing data in a tabular way. It is a collection of vectors of equal length, representing columns, and is similar to a table in a database.
In R there are two ways by which we can convert Tibble to Data Frame.
- Using as. data.frame() function
- Using data.frame() function
