mean of a row dataframe in r

To calculate the mean of a row in a dataframe in R, you can follow these steps:

  1. Identify the dataframe: Make sure you have a dataframe that contains the row you want to calculate the mean for. Let's assume the dataframe is called df.

  2. Select the row: Use the row index to select the specific row you want to calculate the mean for. You can do this using the square bracket notation. For example, if you want to select the third row, you can use df[3, ].

  3. Calculate the mean: Apply the mean() function to the selected row. This function calculates the average of the values in the row. For example, if you want to calculate the mean of the third row, you can use mean(df[3, ]).

Here is an example that combines these steps:

# Step 1: Identify the dataframe
df <- data.frame(A = c(1, 2, 3), B = c(4, 5, 6), C = c(7, 8, 9))

# Step 2: Select the row
row <- df[2, ]

# Step 3: Calculate the mean
mean_value <- mean(row)

# Print the mean
mean_value

In this example, we create a dataframe df with three columns (A, B, C) and three rows. We then select the second row using df[2, ] and calculate the mean of that row using mean(row). The result is stored in the variable mean_value and printed to the console.
