Extracting Values from a List of Forecasts Using tidyverse Functions
Here is the reformatted response: Extracting Values from a List of Forecasts We can extract the values from the <list> using lapply, sapply, or map_df from the tidyverse. Using lapply lapply(forecasts, function(x) as.numeric(x$mean, na.rm = TRUE)) If the number of forecasts are same in all list elements, this can be converted to a matrix or data frame. Using sapply sapply(forecasts, `[[`, "mean") Alternatively, we can use the tidyverse package to achieve the same result with more concise code:
