The easiest way to do it is by using select_if function of dplyr package but we can also do it through lapply.Using dplyr> df df X1 X2 X3 X4 X5 1 1 11 21 a k 2 2 12 22 b l 3 3 13 23 c m 4 4 14 24 d n 5 5 15 25 e o 6 6 16 26 f p 7 7 17 27 g q 8 8 18 28 h r 9 9 19 29 i s 10 10 20 30 j t >library("dplyr") > select_if(df, is.numeric) X1 X2 X3 1 1 11 21 2 2 12 22 3 3 13 23 4 4 14 24 5 5 15 25 6 6 16 26 7 7 17 27 8 8 18 28 9 9 19 29 10 10 20 30Using lapply> numeric_only df[ , numeric_only] X1 X2 X3 1 1 11 21 2 2 12 22 3 3 13 23 4 4 14 24 5 5 15 25 6 6 16 26 7 7 17 27 8 8 18 28 9 9 19 29 10 10 20 30

We can do this by setting the column to NULLExample> library(data.table) > df data_table data_table[, x:=NULL] > data_table numbers 1: 1 2: 2 3: 3 4: 4 5: 5 6: 6 7: 7 8: 8 9: 9 10: 10To delete two columns> df Data_table Data_table numbers 1: 0 2: 1 3: 2 4: 3 5: 4 6: 5 7: 6 8: 7 9: 8 10: 9

## How to simulate discrete uniform random variable in R?

Updated on 11-Jul-2020 12:54:09
There is no function in base R to simulate discrete uniform random variable like we have for other random variables such as Normal, Poisson, Exponential etc. but we can simulate it using rdunif function of purrr package.The rdunif function has the following syntax −> rdunif(n, b , a)Here, n = Number of random values to returnb = Maximum value of the distribution, it needs to be an integer because the distribution is discretea = Minimum value of the distribution, it needs to be an integer because the distribution is discreteExampleLet’s say you want to simulate 10 ages between 21 to ...
