similar to: merge bug fix in R 2.15.0

Hello, All: The "writeFindFn2xls" function in the "sos" package tries to write an Excel file with 3 sheets ('PackageSum2', 'findFn', 'call'). Unfortunately, it is often unable to do this because of configuration problems that are not easy to fix. I've found 3 contributed packages that provide facilities to write Excel files with

Hi, Two ways to create what should normally be the same data frame: > df1 <- data.frame(a=character(0), b=character(0))> df1 [1] a b <0 rows> (or 0-length row.names) > df2 <- as.data.frame(matrix(character(0), ncol=2, dimnames=list(NULL, letters[1:2]))) > df2 [1] a b <0 rows> (or 0-length row.names) unique() works as expected except that I

Hello, My problem is that I would like to merge multiple files with a common column but merge accepts only two data.frames to merge. In the real situation, I have 26 different data.frames with a common column. I can of course use merge many times (see below) but what would be more sophisticated solution? For loop? Any ideas? DF1 <- data.frame(var1 = letters[1:5], a = rnorm(5)) DF2 <-

Hello I have 2 data frames DF1 and DF2 where DF2 is a subset of DF1: DF1= data.frame(V1=1:6, V2= letters[1:6]) DF2= data.frame(V1=1:3, V2= letters[1:3]) How do I create a new data frame of the difference between DF1 and DF2 newDF=data.frame(V1=4:6, V2= letters[4:6]) In my real data, the rows are not in order as in the example I provided. Thanks much Joseph [[alternative HTML version

#I want to "merge" or "join" 2 dataframes (df1 & df2) into a 3rd (mydf). I want the 3rd dataframe to contain 1 row for each row in df1 & df2, and all the columns in both df1 & df2. The solution should "work" even if the 2 dataframes are identical, and even if the 2 dataframes do not have the same column names. The rbind.fill function seems to work. For

Dear expeRts, What is the best approach to create a third data frame from two given ones, when the new/third data frame has last column computed from the last columns of the two given data frames? ## Okay, sounds complicated, so here is an example. Assume we have the two data frames: df1 <- data.frame(Year=rep(2001:2010, each=2), Group=c("Group 1","Group 2"), Value=1:20)

Hi, I have two dataframes: The first, df1, contains some missing data: cola colb colc cold cole 1 NA 5 9 NA 17 2 NA 6 NA 14 NA 3 3 NA 11 15 19 4 4 8 12 NA 20 The second, df2, contains the following: cola colb colc cold cole 1 1.4 0.8 0.02 1.6 0.6 I'm wanting all missing data in df1$cola to be replaced by the value of df2$cola.

The rbind on empty and nonempty data frames behaves inconsistently. I am not sure if by design. In the first example, first row is deleted, which may or may not be on purpose: df1 <- data.frame() df2 <- data.frame(foo=c(1, 2), bar=c("a", "b")) rbind(df1, df2) foo bar 2 2 b Now if we continue: df1 <- data.frame(matrix(0, 0, 2)) names(df1) <- names(df2)

Hi there, I have a list of dataframes (generated by reading multiple files) and all dataframes are comparable in dimension and column names. They also have a common column, which, I'd like to use for merging. To give a simple example of what I have: df1 <- data.frame(c(LETTERS[1:5]), c(2,6,3,1,9)) names(df1) <- c("pos", "data") df3 <- df2 <- df1 df2$data

Hello I have 2 data frames df1 and df2. I would like to create a new data frame new_df which will contain only the common rows based on the first 2 columns (chrN and start). The column score in the new data frame should be replaced with a column containing the average score (average_score) from df1 and df2. df1= data.frame(chrN= c(“chr1”, “chr1”, “chr1”, “chr1”, “chr2”, “chr2”, “chr2”),

Hi, I am using colsplit (package = reshape) to split all strings in a column according to the same patterns. Here an example: library(reshape2) df1 <- data.frame(x=c("str1_name2", "str3_name5")) df2 <- data.frame(df1, colsplit(df1$x, pattern = "_", names=c("str","name"))) This is nearly what I want but I want to remove the words

Hello, I have two dataframes DF1 and DF2 that should be identical but are not (DF1 has some rows that aren't in DF2, and vice versa). I would like to produce a new dataframe DF3 containing rows in DF1 that aren't in DF2 (and similarly DF4 would contain rows in DF2 that aren't in DF1). I have a solution for this problem (see self contained example below) but it's awkward and

Hello all, I have a quandry I have been scratching my head about for a while. I've searched the manual and the web and have not been able to find an acceptable result, so I am hoping for some help. I have two data frames and I want to index into the first using the second, and replace the specific values I have indexed with more values from the second data.frame. I can do this

Dear list, Let's say we have a data frame as follows, >expand.grid(a=1:5,b=c(1,5,10,20),DV=c(0.1,0.2,0.3))->df1 >df1$DV<-rgamma(60,shape=10) columns a and b are two levels. DV is the column with values we are interested in. Then another data frame df2 with values as follows data.frame(a=c(2,2,3,4,5),b=c(5,10,1,5,20))->df2 Now I want to a subset of df1 that match df2 at the

Hi all, I have a dataframe (df1) that I am trying to select values from to a second dataframe that at the current time is only for the selected items from df1 (df2). The values that I am trying to save from df1 are factors with alphanumeric names df1 looks like this: 'data.frame': 3014 obs. of 13 variables: $ Num : int 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 4 ... $ Tag_Num : int 1195

Hi all, probably really simple to solve, but having no background in programming I haven't been able to figure this out: I have two dataframes like df1 <- data.frame(names1=c('aa','ab', 'ac', 'ad'), var1=c(1,5,7,12)) df2 <- data.frame(names2=c('aa', 'ab', 'ac', 'ad', 'ae'), var2=c(3,6,9,12,15)) Now I want merge

Hi R users, I have a question about plotting. The following two datasets are an example. What I have in mind is like the attached figure, but just have two rows, top row is for DF1, bottom row is for DF2. The top and bottom rows, have x-axis as var1, var2, var3, etc, while the y-axis represents A. For each row, only the leftmost panel has y-axis ticks and label. For the two rows, only the bottom

Hi, How do I tell an if statement to generate two seperate outputs. E.g If X>5 I want to create df1 and df2: if (X>5) {df1<-c(4,5,6,7,8) AND df2<-c(9,10,11,12,13)} Thanks, James -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/If-statement-generates-two-outputs-tp22650844p22650844.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

This is just a curiosity question. Why do the two different syntaxes for df1 and df2 give such different results in the names(dfx)? Thanks df1 <- data.frame(nas = c("A", "B" , "B" ,"C" ,"B", "A", "D"),nums = c(3, 2, 1, 1, 2, 3, 7)) df2 <- data.frame(nas <- c("A", "B" ,

Hey Folks, Could somebody show me how to loop through a list of dataframes? I want to be able to generically access their elements and do something with them. For instance, instead of this: df1<- data.frame(x=(1:5),y=(1:5)); df2<- data.frame(x=(1:5),y=(1:5)); df3<- data.frame(x=(1:5),y=(1:5)); plot(df1$x,df1$y); plot(df2$x,df2$y); plot(df3$x,df3$y); I would like to do something like:
