Sum of columns of a data frame equal to NA when all the elements are NA
Dear list users,
let me ask you this trivial question. I worked on that for a long time, by now.
Suppose to have a data frame with NAs and to sum some columns with rowSums:
df <- data.frame(A = runif(10), B = runif(10), C = rnorm(10))
df[1, ] <- NA
rowSums(df[ , which(names(df) %in% c("A","B"))], na.rm=T)
If all the elements of the selected columns are NA, rowSums

Create a vector without using an external 'if statement'
Dear R-users,
suppose I have three dataframes like these
df1:
mydate min_temp
31032013 12
01042013 8
02042013 -999
df2:
mydate min_temp
31032013 10
01042013 11
02042013 14
df3:
mydate min_temp
31032013 4
01042013 3
02042013 5
where -999 means that the temperature data is not available (at the moment I cannot change it to NA because I am not the db administrator);
suppose also that oggi is

add only the 1st of May with POSIXct
Thank you Rui for your code.
I basically understood all your suggestions.
I am using an old version of R (version 3.6.3, installed in a server I am not allowed to control), and the new pipe operator does not work.
I tried to run your code without the "|>" operator, but I get an error when I use apply.
Could you please expand your code without the pipe operator?
Thank you again

Query about use of format in strptime
Dear R-list users,
I need to use strptime because I have to deal with date with hours and minutes.
I read the manual for strptime and I also looked at many examples, but when I try to apply it to my code, I always encounter some problems.
I try to change the default format, with no success. Why? How can I change the format?

init_day <- as.factor("2015-02-24-00-30")

Dear Jim and dear Enrico,
thank you for your replies.
Unfortunately your hints didn't solve my problem, and I am getting mad.
Can I show you my whole process? I will be as quick as possible.

Sum of columns of a data frame equal to NA when all the elements are NA
What do you mean by "should not"?
NULL means "missing object" in R. The result of the sum function is always expected to be numeric... so NA_real or NA_integer could make sense as possible return values. But you cannot compute on NULL so no, that doesn't work.
See the note under the "Value" section of ?sum as to why zero is returned when all inputs are removed.

aggregate wind direction data with wind speed required
Dear list users,
I have to aggregate wind direction data (wd) using a function that requires also a second input variable, wind speed (ws).
This is the function that I need to use:
my_fun <- function(wd1, ws1){
u_component <- -ws1*sin(2*pi*wd1/360)
v_component <- -ws1*cos(2*pi*wd1/360)
mean_u <- mean(u_component, na.rm=T)
mean_v <- mean(v_component, na.rm=T)

Query: matrix definition
Dear list users,
if within a function I first define a matrix
mymat <- matrix(NA, nrow=m, ncol=n)
and somewhere afterwards by mistake
mymat <- c(1,2,3)
this second command deletes the first one.
How can I make sure that within the function mymat will always remain the matrix defined at the beginning, without possibility of changing it throughout the code?
Secondly, is it possible to define

use of simulate.Arima (forecast package)
I would like to simulate some SARIMA models, e.g. a SARIMA (1,0,1)(1,0,1)[4] process.
I installed the package 'forecast', where the function simulate.Arima should do what I am trying to do.
I am not able to understand how it works
Could somebody help me with an example?
thank you

Query about use of format in strptime
Hi Stefano,
As the help page says:
"The default for the format methods is "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" if any
element has a time component which is not midnight, and "%Y-%m-%d"
otherwise. This is because when the result is printed, it uses the
default format. If you want a specified output representation:
format(strptime(init_day, format="%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M"),"%Y-%M-%d

Should not the result be NULL if you have removed the NA with na.rm=TRUE ?

La.svd of a symmetric matrix
Dear R list users,
the singluar value decomposition of a symmetric matrix M is UDV^(T), where U = V.
La.svd(M) gives as output three elements: the diagonal of D and the two orthogonal matrices u and vt (which is already the transpose of v).
I noticed that the transpose of vt is not exactly u. Why is that?
thank you for your attention and your help

Sum of columns of a data frame equal to NA when all the elements are NA
No. The empty sum is zero. Adding it to another sum should not change it. Nothing audacious about that. This is consistent; other definitions just cause trouble.

Sum of columns of a data frame equal to NA when all the elements are NA
Surely the result of summation of non-existent values is not defined, is it not? And since the NA values have been _removed_, there's nothing left to sum over. In fact, pretending the the result in that case is zero would appear audacious, no?
Cheers,
