convert dataframe to new list

Question

I have a data.frame NOAA_OLR_TEST

NOAA_OLR_TEST <- structure(list(DATE_START = structure(c(1170720000, 1170806400,
1170892800, 1170979200, 1171065600, 1171152         


        

Answer 1

Just use c(...):

lst <- c(NOAA_OLR_TEST)[5:9];
#lst;
#List of 5
# $ OLR_DATA_1: num [1:10] 150 146 146 142 NA 150 158 155 143 142
# $ OLR_DATA_2: num [1:10] 146 146 142 141 150 NA 155 143 142 138
# $ OLR_DATA_3: num [1:10] 146 NA 141 150 158 155 143 142 138 135
# $ OLR_DATA_4: num [1:10] 142 141 150 158 155 143 142 138 135 NA
# $ OLR_DATA_5: num [1:10] 141 150 NA 155 143 142 138 135 140 139

Or with lapply:

lst <- lapply(5:9, function(i) NOAA_OLR_TEST[, i])
