Applying a function to every row of a table using dplyr?
When working with plyr I often found it useful to use adply for scalar functions that I have to apply to each and every row. e.g. data(iris) library(plyr) head( adply(iris, 1, transform , Max.Len= max(Sepal.Length,Petal.Length)) ) Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species Max.Len 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 setosa 5.1 2 4.9 3.0 1.4 0.2 setosa 4.9 3 4.7 3.2 1.3 0.2 setosa 4.7 4 4.6 3.1 1.5 0.2 setosa 4.6 5 5.0 3.6 1.4 0.2 setosa 5.0 6 5.4 3.9 1.7 0.4 setosa 5.4 Now I'm using dplyr more, I'm wondering if there is a tidy/natural way to do this? As this is NOT what I want: library(dplyr)
