我会加一条评论(不能低评级)

只需要添加user276042和pangratz

dat$x = as.numeric(as.character(dat$x))

这将覆盖现有列x的值

蒂姆是对的，谢恩有个遗漏。以下是其他例子:

R> df <- data.frame(a = as.character(10:15))
R> df <- data.frame(df, num = as.numeric(df$a), 
                        numchr = as.numeric(as.character(df$a)))
R> df
   a num numchr
1 10   1     10
2 11   2     11
3 12   3     12
4 13   4     13
5 14   5     14
6 15   6     15
R> summary(df)
  a          num           numchr    
 10:1   Min.   :1.00   Min.   :10.0  
 11:1   1st Qu.:2.25   1st Qu.:11.2  
 12:1   Median :3.50   Median :12.5  
 13:1   Mean   :3.50   Mean   :12.5  
 14:1   3rd Qu.:4.75   3rd Qu.:13.8  
 15:1   Max.   :6.00   Max.   :15.0

我们的data.frame现在有了因子列的摘要(counts)和as.numeric()的数值摘要(这是错误的，因为它得到了数值因子级别)以及as.numeric(as.character())的(正确的)摘要。

有一点对我很有帮助:如果要转换的变量范围(或者不止一个)，可以使用sapply。

有点荒谬，举个例子:

data(cars)
cars[, 1:2] <- sapply(cars[, 1:2], as.factor)

假设第3列、第6-15列和第37列的数据帧需要转换为数字:

dat[, c(3,6:15,37)] <- sapply(dat[, c(3,6:15,37)], as.numeric)

虽然你的问题严格是关于数字的，但在开始r时，有许多转换是难以理解的。我将致力于解决帮助的方法。这个问题和这个问题类似。

在R中，类型转换可能是一种痛苦，因为(1)因子不能直接转换为数字，它们需要首先转换为字符类，(2)日期是一种特殊情况，通常需要单独处理，(3)跨数据帧列的循环可能很棘手。幸运的是，“潮流宇宙”已经解决了大部分问题。

This solution uses mutate_each() to apply a function to all columns in a data frame. In this case, we want to apply the type.convert() function, which converts strings to numeric where it can. Because R loves factors (not sure why) character columns that should stay character get changed to factor. To fix this, the mutate_if() function is used to detect columns that are factors and change to character. Last, I wanted to show how lubridate can be used to change a timestamp in character class to date-time because this is also often a sticking block for beginners.

要将字符转换为数字，您必须通过应用将其转换为因数

BankFinal1 <- transform(BankLoan,   LoanApproval=as.factor(LoanApproval))
BankFinal1 <- transform(BankFinal1, LoanApp=as.factor(LoanApproval))

您必须用相同的数据创建两列，因为一列不能转换为数字。如果你做一次转换，它会给出如下错误

transform(BankData, LoanApp=as.numeric(LoanApproval))

警告信息: 在eval(替代(列表 (...)), `_ 数据”,parent.frame ()): 胁迫引入的NAs

所以，在做了两列相同的数据应用后

BankFinal1 <- transform(BankFinal1, LoanApp      = as.numeric(LoanApp), 
                                    LoanApproval = as.numeric(LoanApproval))

它将成功地将字符转换为数字

使用type.convert()和rapply()的通用方式:

convert_types <- function(x) {
    stopifnot(is.list(x))
    x[] <- rapply(x, utils::type.convert, classes = "character",
                  how = "replace", as.is = TRUE)
    return(x)
}
d <- data.frame(char = letters[1:5], 
                fake_char = as.character(1:5), 
                fac = factor(1:5), 
                char_fac = factor(letters[1:5]), 
                num = 1:5, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
sapply(d, class)
#>        char   fake_char         fac    char_fac         num 
#> "character" "character"    "factor"    "factor"   "integer"
sapply(convert_types(d), class)
#>        char   fake_char         fac    char_fac         num 
#> "character"   "integer"    "factor"    "factor"   "integer"
