colSums, colMeans, rowSums & rowMeans in R (Example)

This page shows how to apply the colSums, colMeans, rowSums, and rowMeans functions to compute the sums and means of all columns and rows of a data frame in the R programming language.

Example Data

my_data <- data.frame(x = c(3, 7, 1, 5),
                      y = c(9, 5, 2, 8),
                      z = c(1, 9, 1, 4))
my_data
# x y z
# 3 9 1
# 7 5 9
# 1 2 1
# 5 8 4

Sums of Columns

colSums(my_data)
#  x  y  z 
# 16 24 15

Means of Columns

colMeans(my_data)
#    x    y    z 
# 4.00 6.00 3.75

Sums of Rows

rowSums(my_data)
# 13 21  4 17

Means of Rows

rowMeans(my_data)
# 4.333333 7.000000 1.333333 5.666667
