Hello I am at the moment trying to get to grips with a data cube in R, and I am increasingly wondering whether I am actually making things unnecessarily difficult for myself. The idea is that I have a data cube with three dimensions (so a 3D matrix): companies, figures, and years. So along the z axis the vectors are essentially time series, the horizontals are all about a single figure and the verticals are all the data from a single company.
I create the data cube with the reshape package from a 2D CSV file (which in turn is saved as a CSV file from an Excel File, which is the data master), which works so far very fine indeed. Data_m<-melt(Data, id=1:8, na.rm=TRUE) Data_cube<-cast(Data_m, Figure~Company~variable) The question now comes how one can browse through this object, as view gives it out as A.B and gets rather large. Does anyone know a way to save resulting data cubes elegantly, i.e. maybe so that there is a tool where one can scroll through the result, etc. ? I presume there are several researchers here who also find that Excel is not at all levels the best repository for R data, but who don't want to toy around with Linux and for whom Matlab + Stats box is a little pricey. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Data-Cube-in-R-from-CSV-tp2544404p2544404.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
