Indirect accessing of data frame variable in R -
i have r data.frame object called x. r console when str(x), following get.
str (x)
'data.frame': 2776 obs. of 4 variables: $ date : factor w/ 4018 levels "2003-01-01","2003-01-02",..: 1 6 11 16 21 26 31 36 41 46 ... $ sulfate: num na na na na na na na na na na ... $ nitrate: num na na na na na na na na na na ... $ id : int 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ...
i want access values related particular variable. in process when x.$nitrate
values corresponding variable (ie nitrate) when following
> frame_variable <- "nitrate"
and then do
> x$frame_variable null
this limitation prohibiting me use feature in function i'm trying create. here.
