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

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.

How to produce rainfall maps
Fwiw the engine behind geom_raster needs explicit observation-per-row form
for input (with no structural normalization), so conversion to points is
perfectly proper here, albeit confusing in context. (It's closer to what
graphics devices actually use ultimately, but the expansion is laid out
very early in ggplot2 because there's no standard for intermediate forms.)
Cheers, Mike

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

How to produce rainfall maps
Dear R users,
I need to produce rainfall maps using R.
I know that this is possible, I looked though the web, I found the example below reported (the author is Andrew Tredennick).
I would ask you if this is the most performing way to make rainfall maps; if yes would someone be able to give me an example of how file.asc and pointfile.csv should be? If no would somebody please show me another way

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)

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.

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

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")

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,
Boris

about Cox-Box transformation
Dear R-users,
I am using R version 1.8.0-1 under Suse 8.2.
I need to use the boxcox command because I want to apply a Cox-Box
transformation to a vector of rainfall values.
Within the libraries, the MASS library is present, but I don't know
whether this means that is automatically installed or not.
The command doesn't work. What do I have to do in order to make it
working? Is just a

How to produce rainfall maps
Hi,
You might get more help from the R-sig-geo list, which is devoted to
spatial topics.
However.
The *.asc file is an ArcGIS raster export format. You should use
whatever the appropriate import commands are for your own gridded
rainfall data. If you have a different format, you might or might not
be able to import it directly with raster.
?raster will tell you more about the kinds of formats

Query: list within a list
Dear R users,
I have difficulty to create a list within a list.
Example: with

I create a list of 4 elements:

[[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
