How to create a vector of lists in R?
If we have many lists but we want to use the values in the lists as a vector then we first need to combine those lists and create a vector. This can be done by using unlist function along with the combine function c to create the vector. For example, if we have two lists defined as List1 and List2 and we want to create a vector V using these lists then it can be created as:
V<-c(unlist(List1,List2))
Example1
> x1<-list(a=rnorm(10),b=rpois(10,2)) > x1
Output
$a [1] -0.6972237 -1.5013768 -0.2451809 -0.2365569 -1.6304919 -1.1704378 [7] 1.1617054 -0.2349498 -1.2582229 0.4112065 $b [1] 2 0 2 6 0 0 3 2 6 1
Example
> x2<-list(rnorm(10)) > x2
Output
[[1]] [1] 0.2023410 -0.5211331 -1.6368447 0.9778100 -0.6328811 0.3910759 [7] 0.1794474 0.5075240 -0.1174491 -1.3090096
Creating a vector from list x1 and x2:
Example
> x<-c(unlist(x1,x2)) > x
Output
a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 a6 a7 -0.6972237 -1.5013768 -0.2451809 -0.2365569 -1.6304919 -1.1704378 1.1617054 a8 a9 a10 b1 b2 b3 b4 -0.2349498 -1.2582229 0.4112065 2.0000000 0.0000000 2.0000000 6.0000000 b5 b6 b7 b8 b9 b10 0.0000000 0.0000000 3.0000000 2.0000000 6.0000000 1.0000000
Example
> is.vector(x)
Output
[1] TRUE >
Example2
> y1<-list(a=rnorm(50,1,0.04),b=rnorm(20,7,1.14),c=rnorm(25,114,31.47)) > y1
Output
