I've never seen the term "dataframe" used as it is on this webste, and the commenters here seem to all use it. Judging by the examples it seems to just refer to a "row" from e.g. a CSV or SQL query. So is that all it is, or am I missing something?
- milliams 5y agoA "dataframe" is a "table"
- maxerickson 5y agoIt's a column oriented data structure.
- wodenokoto 5y agoA data frame is one of the basic, built-in data structures in R, which was released in 1993. And R was based on an even older S. So it’s not a new thing. If you don’t work in computational statistics / data science it might not be a well known term, though.
