Dear Henrique, thanks for the tip. One question though: how do I get back a matrix out of d1.tb. d1.tb is an xtabs object.
I tried: myres <- ftable(d1.tb) myre1 <- as.data.frame(myres) now myres1 is nor a matrix or a df. I want d1.tb as a matrix. Please suggest. thanks srini --- Henrique Dallazuanna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Try this: > > d1 <- data.frame(d1) > d1$V3 <- as.numeric(as.character(d1$V3)) > xtabs(V3 ~ r1+c1, data=d1) > > You can substitute 0 with NA: > > d1.tb <- xtabs(V3 ~ r1+c1, data=d1) > d1.tb[d1.tb==0] <- NA > > > On 24/01/2008, Srinivas Iyyer > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Dear group, > > I have a data.frame (d1) with various elements and > a > > matrix (m1) created with NA (or 1s).
