Missing Values

You can check if a dataset has missing values per column using the apply() function.

  • The first argument of apply() is the dataframe you are inspecting, in this case, studentnetworkdata.
  • The second argument indicates whether operations should be performed row-wise (1) or column-wise (2).
  • The third argument is the function applied to each row or column. You specify it by writing function(x) ... where ... indicates the operation.
    You want to count the number of missing values in each column. Use sum(is.na(x)) to find all the missing values and count them.

How many columns in studentnetworkdata have missing values?
