A data frame is similar to a matrix- however each column may be of a
different data type (character, number, logical, factor, ect.) and each
column has a name. Using the names a data frame may be manipulated as a
collection of vectors of the same length.

Look at ?data.frame for more information on data frames. The function
as.data.frame may be able to convert your data into a data frame object.

However, I cannot say if the object created by as.data.frame would satisfy
your needs without further manipulation since you did not specify why you
need a data frame. Are you calling some function that demands a data frame
as an input? If so, which function?

Good luck!
