How to find the sin of each value in columns if some columns are categorical in R data frame?

To find the sin of each value in columns if some columns are categorical in R data frame, we can follow the below steps −

• First of all, create a data frame.

• Then, use numcolwise function from plyr package to find the sin of each value in columns if some columns are categorical.

Example

Create the data frame

Let’s create a data frame as shown below −

Level<-sample(c("low","medium","high"),25,replace=TRUE)
Group<-sample(c("first","second"),25,replace=TRUE)
DV1<-sample(1:5,25,replace=TRUE)
DV2<-sample(1:5,25,replace=TRUE)
df<-data.frame(Level,Group,DV1,DV2)
df

Output

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

   Level  Group DV1 DV2
1  low    first  1  1
2  low    second 1  5
3  medium first  5  3
4  low    first  4  1
5  low    second 2  5
6  low    first  3  3
7  high   second 3  1
8  low    second 1  1
9  high   first  2  4
10 low    second 1  3
11 high   first  2  5
12 low    first  3  2
13 medium second 5  4
14 low    second 5  4
15 low    second 3  4
16 medium first  5  5
17 high   second 4  5
18 high   second 4  1
19 low    first  4  4
20 medium second 1  3
21 high   second 4  3
22 medium first  1  3
23 medium second 2  3
24 high   second 3  3
25 medium first  4  3

Find the sin of each value in columns if some columns are categorical

Using numcolwise function from plyr package to find the sin of each value in columns if some columns are categorical in the data frame df −

Level<-sample(c("low","medium","high"),25,replace=TRUE)
Group<-sample(c("first","second"),25,replace=TRUE)
DV1<-sample(1:5,25,replace=TRUE)
DV2<-sample(1:5,25,replace=TRUE)
df<-data.frame(Level,Group,DV1,DV2)
library(plyr)
numcolwise(sin)(df)

Output

        DV1    DV2
