Dear R Forum I have a data.frame as mydat = c(6,6,5,6,4,6,8,4,6,6,6,3,4,6,5,7,7,4,3,5,5,5,3,6,7,4,4,7,4,3,4,6,4,6,5,4,4,7,6,8,5,6,5,5,8,2,3,5,7,5) Is there any library or way in R to allocate weights to these values? Actually I am having a large data, but for illustrative purpose, have considered just a small part of the same. Regards Amelia
If you have a clear idea what meaning those weights have (?) in the context of a
specific calculation (?), and you know what the weights are (?), then it is
usually trivially easy to do in R. However, your question is vague on all of
those points, so offering you a solution seems like an invitation for you to
mis-use any particular solution offered. Please try to clarify what you are
doing that "weights" will help with, and yes, there may just be a
weights argument to the function that does that analysis that we can point you
to.
You also are unclear what the difference between a data frame and a vector is...
if it helps, a data frame is a list of vectors (typically referred to as
"columns") all with the same length... your "mydat" is a
vector, not a data frame.

R is a computing tool, and each package has implemented algorithms that have history and books and papers that allow those algorithms to be used in a variety if computing environments... from Fortran to Excel to Java to ... R, and probably beyond.>From your description I am going to hazard a guess that perhaps you are considering regression, where the ranges of some variables may be much smaller than others, and yes, among the many types of regression there are many that accept weights... constant values used to scale each "column" of data so that they all have similar ranges. You might be able to get along just fine with the lm function from base R [1], or you might need something more specialized as [2] might discuss. Or you may have something else in mind, but only you can clarify what that might be.It may be wise to do a bit of reading so you know which algorithms you want to apply, and then give us a reproducible, small example of what you have and what you want to get out of this analysis. To do that, you will really need to read and follow the advice in [3]. [1] type "?lm" at the R prompt to get details about that function. If that is too terse, get a text book.

Or better to use dput(head(yourdata, 20)) and copy the result so as we might see better what you mean. Just a guess, from your previous post are you iterested in some summary for your data?> x<-c(6,6,5,6,4,6,8,4,6,6,6,3,4,6,5,7,7,4,3,5,5,5,3,6,7,4,4,7,4,3,4,6,4,6,5,4,4,7,6,8,5,6,5,5,8,2,3,5,7,5) > table(x)x 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 5 11 11 13 6 3 Cheers Petr> >analyse the same, some very senior person in the office suggested me > to > >assign weights to these obervations. > > > >Problem is this senior person is on office tour travelling into > >Australia and unfortutely I can't even think of reverting to him owing > >to his seniority.
