Dear list
I am trying to count the no of occurances in a column of a data frame and there
is missing data identifed by NA.
I am able to melt and cast the data correctly as well as sum the occurances
using margins and sum.
Here are the melt and cast commands
bw = melt(res, id=c("lab","r"), "pf_zbw")
b = cast(bw, lab ~ r, sum, margins = T)
Sample Data (before using sum and margins)
lab 1 2 3 4 5 6
1 4er66 1 NA 1 0 NA 0
2 4gcyi 0 0 1 0 0 0
3 5d3hh 0 0 0 NA 0 0
4 5d3wt 0 0 0 0 0 0

69 v3st5 NA NA 1 NA NA NA
70 a22g5 NA 0 NA NA NA NA
71 b5dd3 NA 0 NA NA NA NA
72 g44d2 NA 0 NA NA NA NA
Data after using sum and margins
lab 1 2 3 4 5 6 (all)
1 4er66 1 0 1 0 0 0 2
2 4gcyi 0 0 1 0 0 0 1
3 5d3hh 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
4 5d3wt 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
5 6n44r 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

72 g44d2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
73 (all) 5 2 4 3 5 7 26
Uisng length just tells me how many total rows there are.
What I need to do is count how many rows there is valid data, in this case
either a one (1) or a zero (0) in b
I have a report to construct for tomorrow Mon so any help would be appreciated
Regards
Steve
