Dear R forum, I want to replace all the elements in a data frame (dd) which match the character "x" with "0". What's the most elegant way of doing this (there must be an easy way which I've missed)? I settled on the following loop: >for(i in 5:12){ # These are the column of dd I am interested in >dd[which(dd[,i]=="x"),i]<-0 >} The

Hi all, I noticed that `range.default()` has a nice `finite = TRUE` argument, but it doesn't actually apply to Date or POSIXct due to how `is.numeric()` works. ``` x <- .Date(c(0, Inf, 1, 2, Inf)) x #> [1] "1970-01-01" "Inf" "1970-01-02" "1970-01-03" "Inf" # Darn! range(x, finite = TRUE) #> [1] "1970-01-01"

Is there an R equivalent to SAS's proc gremove? You would use this procedure to combine the units on an existing map, for example to build a map of Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) from the [US] counties dataset where the internal boundries surround the MSAs (which are groups of counties) rather than the individual counties. I can imagine the mechanism would be to find and erase the

A tiny nit-pick: Seems to me that end date = NA would mean the event has not yet ended, whilst Inf would mean that the event is known to never terminate, ie: an eternal fact, or physical law.

...s just the non-devel R I had handy, and you had seemed to be presenting it as something new in 3.5.3. I would be surprised if the behavior doesn't go all the way back to whenever head.function was added. Before that head() on a function (likely) would have failed just like it still does on your reclassed function. Because, again, this is how S3 is supposed to behave when you give it the inputs you are. I fyou want your f class to hit function S3 methods, you need to do class(myfun) <- c("f", "function") Then everything will work. Best, ~G [[alternative HTML version delet...

Hi All, I think there may be some possible confusion about what allowsInf would be reporting (or maybe its just me :) ) if we did this. Consider a class "myclass", S3, for starters, with setMethod("allowsInf", "myclass", function(obj) FALSE) Then, what would myclassthing <- structure(1.5, class = "mything") myclassthing[1] <- Inf do. Assumely it

Hi, I don't understand the following. When I create a small artificial set of date information in class POSIXct, I can calculate the mean and the median: a = as.POSIXct(Sys.time()) a = a + 60*0:10; a [1] "2009-03-10 11:30:16 EDT" "2009-03-10 11:31:16 EDT" "2009-03-10 11:32:16 EDT" [4] "2009-03-10 11:33:16 EDT" "2009-03-10 11:34:16

Hello, This is mostly to developers, but in case I missed something in my literature search, I am sending this to the broader audience. - Are there any plans in the works to make "time" classes a bit more friendly to the rest of the "R" world? I am not suggesting to allow for fancy functions to manipulate times, per se, or to figure out how to properly
