similar to: 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

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

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.

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) mean_wd

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

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. -pd > On 21 Mar 2018, at 18:05 , Boris Steipe <boris.steipe at utoronto.ca> wrote: > > Surely the result of summation of non-existent values is not defined, is it not?

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?

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

I see: consistency with additive identity. That makes sense. Thanks. B. > On Mar 21, 2018, at 1:22 PM, peter dalgaard <pdalgd at gmail.com> wrote: > > No. The empty sum is zero.

"I see: consistency with additive identity. " Ummm, well: > 1+NULL numeric(0) > sum(1,NULL) [1] 1 Of course, there could well be something here I don't get, but that doesn't look very consistent to me. However, as I said privately, so long as the corner case behavior is documented, which it is, I don't care. Cheers, Bert Bert Gunter "The trouble with

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.

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

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

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

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 Stefano Sofia AVVISO IMPORTANTE: Questo messaggio di posta elettronica pu? contenere informazioni

Dear R users, I have difficulty to create a list within a list. Example: with > A <- vector(mode="list", 4) I create a list of 4 elements: > A [[1]] NULL [[2]] NULL [[3]] NULL [[4]] NULL In each element of this list I can store, for example, a matrix: A[[1]] <- matrix ... I need each element of A to be a list (all the lists of the same length), and then store matrices
