How to get rowSums for selected columns in R
问题 I am a newbie to R and seek help to calculate sums of selected column for each row. My simple data frame is as below. data = data.frame(location = c("a","b","c","d"), v1 = c(3,4,3,3), v2 = c(4,56,3,88), v3 =c(7,6,2,9), v4=c(7,6,1,9), v5 =c(4,4,7,9), v6 = c(2,8,4,6)) I want sum of columns V1 to V3 and V4 to V6 for my each row in a new data frame. x1 x2 a 14 13 b 66 18 c d I did something like below. rowSums(data[,2:4][,5:7]) But something should be wrong in my codes. Thanks in advance for any
