How to divide the data.table object rows by row standard deviation in R?

R ProgrammingServer Side ProgrammingProgramming

To divide the row values by row standard deviation in R’s data.table object, we can follow the below steps −

  • First of all, create a data.table object.
  • Then, use apply function to divide the data.table object row values by row standard deviation.

Create the data.table object

Let’s create a data.table object as shown below −

> library(data.table)
> x<-sample(1:100,25)
> y<-sample(1:100,25)
> DT<-data.table(x,y)
> DT

On executing, the above script generates the below output(this output will vary on your system due to randomization) −

      x y
1:   45 18
2:    3 99
3:   74 96
4:   67 58
5:   82 24
6:   26 56
7:   93  9
8:   18 22
9:   54 77
10:  96 91
11:  44 30
12:  75  7
13: 100 15
14: 47  25
15: 33  48
16: 37  94
17: 85  73
18: 53 100
19: 66  80
20: 57  89
21: 56  87
22: 11  54
23: 61  26
24: 68   1
25: 38  45
x y

Divide the data.table row values by row standard deviation

Using apply function to divide the row values of DT by row standard deviation −

> library(data.table)
> x<-sample(1:100,25)
> y<-sample(1:100,25)
> DT<-data.table(x,y)
> DT_new<-t(apply(DT,1, function(x) x/sd(x)))
> DT_new
