Hi,
Suppose I have a data.frame like this
Lines <- "var1 var2 var3 var4 var5 var6
0 2 1 2 0 0
2 3 7 6 0 1
1.5 4 9 9 6 0
1.0 6 10 22 3 3
"
DF <- read.table(textConnection(Lines), skip=1)
names(DF) <- scan(textConnection(Lines), what = "", nlines = 1)
How do I find the name of the variable which has the maximum value of
the data.frame? In this example the answer is "var3" (22).
Best regards,
Lauri
