The examples below use a variety of infix functions that can be used to change values in a vector.
If you already know indices of the columns or rows you want to change, these functions will not be shorter, however often the opposite is the case, one knows a name, but not the exact column/row number. In these cases the infix functions are much shorter.
d <- data.frame(x=1:5, y=6, txt=paste0("delta = ",6-1:5), row.names=paste0("ri",5:1), stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
knitr::kable(d)| x | y | txt | |
|---|---|---|---|
| ri5 | 1 | 6 | delta = 5 |
| ri4 | 2 | 6 | delta = 4 |
| ri3 | 3 | 6 | delta = 3 |
| ri2 | 4 | 6 | delta = 2 |
| ri1 | 5 | 6 | delta = 1 |
# Change a column name based on the current name
# colnames(d)[colnames(d)%in%"y"] <- "Yhat"
colnames(d)["y"%ci%d] <- "Yhat"
1:3%ci%d
> [1] "x" "Yhat" "txt"
# Use a range of values in variable to change cells
# d$txt[d$x>=2&d$x<=4] <- "Changed!"
d$txt[d$x%[]%c(2,4)] <- "Changed!"
knitr::kable(d)| x | Yhat | txt | |
|---|---|---|---|
| ri5 | 1 | 6 | delta = 5 |
| ri4 | 2 | 6 | Changed! |
| ri3 | 3 | 6 | Changed! |
| ri2 | 4 | 6 | Changed! |
| ri1 | 5 | 6 | delta = 1 |
# Use row names to change cells
# d$txt[rownames(d)%in%c("ri2,ri4")] <- "Changed again!"
d$txt[c("ri2","ri4")%ri%d] <- "Changed again!"
knitr::kable(d)| x | Yhat | txt | |
|---|---|---|---|
| ri5 | 1 | 6 | delta = 5 |
| ri4 | 2 | 6 | Changed again! |
| ri3 | 3 | 6 | Changed! |
| ri2 | 4 | 6 | Changed again! |
| ri1 | 5 | 6 | delta = 1 |

the front of x. Similarly, %+]% would add to
the rear, and %[+]% to front and rear. If you want to add a
value other than 0, use x %[+% c(n,v)

x %[-]% c(n,m) to trim x by n
from the front, rear, or, n from the front and
m fro the rear. When n is uneven,
floor(n) wil be trimmed from the front and
ceiling(n) from the rear.
