rbind & rbind.fill R Functions | How to Combine Data Frames by Row

In this video, I'm explaining in 2 examples how to use the rbind & rbind.fill functions in R. Find more details on my homepage: https://statisticsglobe.com/rbind-in-r-example-vector-data-frame-fill-columns/ In the following video description, you can find the whole R code of the rbind & rbind.fill video. Just copy and paste it to your own R or RStudio software and run the code. ##### Example 1: rbind function ##### data(iris) # Load iris data set head(iris) # Print first 6 rows of iris data to RStudio console # Create new data set with same structure as iris data_new ＜- data.frame(Sepal.Length = c(7.3, 5.5), Sepal.Width = c(2.2, 3.3), Petal.Length = c(10, 20), Petal.Width = c(0.1, 0.1), Species = factor(c("new", "new2"))) data_new # Print new data set to RStudio console # Apply rbind function iris_new ＜- rbind(iris, data_new) tail(iris_new) # Print last 6 rows of combined data set to RStudio console ##### Example 2: rbind.fill function (plyr package) ##### install.packages("plyr") # Install plyr package (needs to be done only once) library("plyr") # Load plyr package (needes to be done after every restart of R) data(iris) # Load iris data set head(iris) # Print first 6 rows of iris data to RStudio console # Create new data set with !!!DIFFERENT!!! structure as iris data_new ＜- data.frame(Sepal.Length = c(7.3, 5.5), Sepal.Width = c(2.2, 3.3), Petal.Length = c(10, 20), Petal.Width = c(0.1, 0.1)) data_new # Print new data set to RStudio console # Apply rbind.fill function iris_new ＜- rbind.fill(iris, data_new) tail(iris_new) # Print last 6 rows of combined data set to RStudio console
