dplyr::mutate()で起こるエラーについてのメモ

ルールがよくわからない。。最後の3つはなんで成功するんだろう。

library(dplyr)

data.frame(X=1:5) %>% mutate(X2 = data.frame(a=1))
# > Error: not compatible with STRSXP

data.frame(X=1:5) %>% mutate(X2 = data.frame(a=1:5))
# > Error: not compatible with STRSXP

data.frame(X=1:5) %>% mutate(X2 = data.frame(a=1, b=2))
# > Error: wrong result size (2), expected 5 or 1

data.frame(X=1:5) %>% mutate(X2 = data.frame(a=1:5, b=2:6))
# > Error: wrong result size (2), expected 5 or 1

data.frame(X=1:5) %>% mutate(X2 = data.frame(a=1, b=2, c=3, d=4, e=5))
