turn row names into column in r

To turn row names into a column in R, you can use the following steps:

  1. Convert the row names to a new column using the rownames_to_column function from the tibble package.
  2. Use the as.data.frame function to convert the data frame to a standard data frame.
  3. Rename the new column to a desired name using the rename function from the dplyr package.

Here is an example of the code:

library(tibble)
library(dplyr)

# Create a sample data frame
df <- data.frame(A = 1:3, B = 4:6)

# Convert row names to a column
df <- rownames_to_column(df, var = "row_names")

# Convert to standard data frame
df <- as.data.frame(df)

# Rename the new column
df <- df %>% rename(new_column_name = row_names)

These steps will effectively turn the row names into a separate column within the data frame in R.
