Hello all,
Probably my concepts about the data.frame and matrix and array in R
are not clear, I need some clarification to help me understand them
better.
>M <- read.table("test1.csv",sep=",",row.names=NULL,header=T)
gives me: M as
  M1 M2 M3 M4 M5 M6 M7 M8 M9 M10
1  9 11 14 15 18 20 20 20 20  20
2  3  4  8  9 11 12 14 15 15  15
3  4  5  8  8  9  9  9  9  9   9
4  4  5  7  8  8  8  8  8  8   9
1. How can I read the csv file to:
  M1 M2 M3 M4 M5 M6 M7 M8 M9 M10
[1,]  9 11 14 15 18 20 20 20 20  20
[2,]  3  4  8  9 11 12 14 15 15  15
[3,]  4  5  8  8  9  9  9  9  9   9
[4,]  4  5  7  8  8  8  8  8  8   9
2. or how can convert the above M to a format with [1,],[2,] etc
instead of 1,2,etc?
3. How can I read a text file so that I can get:
  [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
[1,]  9 11 14 15 18
[2,]  3  4  8  9 11
[3,]  4  5  8  8  9
[4,]  4  5  7  8  8
(instead of having the columns names V1 to V5?)
Thank you for your help!
Regards,
      John
