Extracts two columns from a data frame and returns a named vector, using
one column as names and the other as values. The value column type is
preserved as-is.
Usage
df2vect(data, name_col, value_col)
Arguments
- data
A data.frame or tibble.
- name_col
Character. Column to use as vector names. Must not contain
NA, empty strings, or duplicate entries; all trigger an error.
- value_col
Character. Column name whose values become the vector elements.
The original column type is preserved.
Value
A named vector with the same type as data[[value_col]].
Examples
df <- data.frame(
gene = c("TP53", "BRCA1", "MYC"),
score = c(0.9, 0.7, 0.5)
)
df2vect(df, "gene", "score")
#> TP53 BRCA1 MYC
#> 0.9 0.7 0.5
