Comparison of data.frame() & as.data.frame() Functions in R (2 Examples)

In this R tutorial you’ll learn how to apply the data.frame and as.data.frame commands.

Example 1: Construct a New Data Frame Using the data.frame() Function

my_df_A <- data.frame(A = 4:1,      # Constructing a data frame
                      B = 1:4,
                      C = "x")
my_df_A
#   A B C
# 1 4 1 x
# 2 3 2 x
# 3 2 3 x
# 4 1 4 x

Example 2: Transform a Matrix to a Data Frame Using the as.data.frame() Function

my_mat <- matrix(1:12, ncol = 4)    # Constructing a matrix
my_mat                              # Print matrix
#      [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4]
# [1,]    1    4    7   10
# [2,]    2    5    8   11
# [3,]    3    6    9   12
my_df_B <- as.data.frame(my_mat)    # Converting a matrix to a data frame
my_df_B
#   V1 V2 V3 V4
# 1  1  4  7 10
# 2  2  5  8 11
# 3  3  6  9 12
