How to create data frame using nested list elements in R?
To create data frame using nested list elements, we would need to unlist the list elements and store them in a matrix then read as a data frame using data.frame function. For example, if we have a nested called LIST then the data frame can be created by using the command −
data.frame(matrix(unlist(LIST),ncol=”No of columns we want”,byrow=F))
Check out the below example to understand how it works.
Example
Live Demo
nestedList<-list(list(x1=rpois(20,2),x2=rpois(20,2)),list(y1=rpois(20,2),y2=rpois(20,2)))
nestedList
Output
[[1]]
[[1]]$x1
[1] 1 1 4 5 1 2 1 0 1 1 0 3 2 3 0 2 3 2 1 2
[[1]]$x2
[1] 2 4 0 2 2 2 1 0 3 1 3 1 2 2 2 3 3 4 3 0
[[2]]
[[2]]$y1
[1] 1 0 1 2 3 1 2 2 2 2 3 2 3 3 4 3 3 2 3 4
[[2]]$y2
[1] 0 1 3 2 1 0 2 2 5 2 1 0 1 4 0 1 1 3 1 1
data.frame(matrix(unlist(nestedList),ncol=2,byrow=F))
