Dear R-help team, I am getting addicted to using R but keep on getting many challenges on the way especially on data management (data cleaning). I have been wanting to drop all the rows if there values are `NA' or have specific values like 1 or 2 or 3. mdat <- matrix(1:21, nrow = 7, ncol=3, byrow=TRUE, dimnames = list(c("row1",

Dear all, I have a large matrix with about 2500 variables, and 100 rows. I would like to calculate the means of the every 10 variables starting from 1:2500 and saving the results as a vector or matrix. How can I do that? Alternatively, How can I create 250 subset matrices in the order of variables 1:2500 in groups of 10 from the single matrix which had initially 2500 variables ? I guess I have

Hi, I use the epicalc package which provides the function aggregate.numeric. Unfortunately aggregate.numeric produces warnings when aggregate is used by functions not under my control on a numeric value. If I don't load epicalc, aggregate.default is used instead by these functions and does not produce any warning. However I need epicalc. So to get around this, what I would do is firstly

Dear Users, I have a variable in my dataset which is of type factor. But it actually contains numeric entries which like 5.735 4.759 ..... This is because the data was read from a CSV file into R and this variable contained other charaters which were not numeric. I have now dropped the records with the characters which are not numeric for this variable and want to change it to numeric srotage

Estimados Cuando existia epicalc, había una manera muy fácil de determinar la media de una variable (en esta caso Gain) por grupos, en este caso (Diet). ?Como se puede hacer ahora? Diet Gain 1 d1 270 2 d1 300 3 d1 280 4 d1 280 5 d1 270 6 d2 290 7 d2 250 8 d2 280 9 d2 290 10 d2 280 11 d3 290 12 d3 340 13 d3 330 14 d3 300 15 d3 300

Hi, I am trying to calculate confidence intervals using ci.numeric from epicalc package. If I generate a normal set of data and find the 99% and 95% CI, they seem too narrow to me. Am I doing something wrong?? The IQR goes from -0.62 to 0.62, so I thought the CI limits should be more extreme than these values. x<- rnorm(200,0,1) ci.numeric(x=mean(x),n=200,sds=sd(x),alpha=0.05) n
