I am attempting to combine multiple columns in my dataset however I have been using the unite()
function and this does half of the work as it combines all the columns however I need it to calculate the mean of all the numbers.
Unite <- Complete_TrainingSet %>%
unite(col = "PP1-3", PP1, PP2, PP3))
This was my code however I would like to know how would I also get it to calculate the mean?
Maybe you are looking for such a solution as you explicitly use unite
. See this example with fake data. Here you unite all columns to one and then calculate the mean of that column.
library(tidyr)
df %>%
unite("PP1-3", PP1, PP2, PP3, sep="") %>%
summarise(mean = mean(PP1-3))
Output
mean
1 2.5
Data
df <- structure(list(PP1 = 1:10, PP2 = 11:20, PP3 = 21:30), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA,
-10L))
Assuming you want the row means of the three columns. You can use rowMeans
for this, like:
Unite <- Complete_TrainingSet %>%
mutate(`PP1-3` = rowMeans(select(., PP1, PP2, PP3)))
With select
you select the columns you want.
