Dear Ruser's I want to substitute each "NA" by the group mean of which the "NA" is belonging to. For example, substitute the first record of traits "NA" by the mean of "BSPy01-10" in the dummy dataframe. I have ever tried to solve this problem by using doBy package. But, I failed. I ask for the advice on how to use "lapplyBy" function of

Dear R-helpers, Very small amount of outliers can greatly affect the mean and many other statistic of a numeric variable. So, usually we must deal with the outliers properly in the process of data analysis. Here, I want to replace outliers with the group median of the variable. But, I can not construct a good way to do that efficiently, because of I am a newbie to R and programming. Can anybody

Dear R-listers, There is my data and my codes to create a plot. I want to know why there are two small circles in the upper right and lower left of the plot respectively.

Dear R-listers, I have created a plot to display the density lines for the same variable by different entities. Now, I want to fill the area under the density lines with semitransparent colors.

The data and code I used listed below: #

Dear R-listers, I do clustering on tens of individuals by thousands of traits. I have known the assignment of each individual. I want to classify the individuals by randomly resampling different subsets of the traits, for example, randomly resampling 100 traits for 100 times, then 200 traits for 100 times, then 300 traits for 100 times, ,,,,,,. By each subset of traits, I do clustering of the

Hello all R users, I have a problems transforming (or maybe better regrouping) a data.frame. I have a big data.frame, which I would like to sum up according to a specific column.

Dear Mao Jianfeng, "r-help-owner" is not the place for help, but: r-help at r-project.org (CC-ed here) In any case, strsplit() does the job, i.e.: > unlist(strsplit("BCPy01-01", "-")) [1] "BCPy01" "01" You can work with the whole variable, like: splitpop <- strsplit(df1$popcode, "-") then access the first part with >

For each numeric variable, I want to make a boxplot with population as the X axis and the boxes filled according to which species it is belonging to. But, that is a definitely tedious work. I
