Hello, I have a dataframe (tab separated file) which looks like the example below - two values separated by a comma, and tab separation between each of these.
[,1] [,2] [,3] [ ,4] [1,] 0,1 1,3 40,10 0,0 [2,] 20,5 4,2 10,40 10,0 [3,] 0,11 1,2 120,10 0,0 I would like to calculate the percentage of the smallest number separated by the comma by: 1) summing the values e.g. for [1,3] where 40,10, 40+10 = 50 2) taking the first value and dividing it by the total e.g. for [1,3], 40/50 = 0.8 3) where the value generated by 2) is >0.5, print 1-value, otherwise, leave value e.g. for [1,3], where value is 0.8, print 1-0.8 = 0.2 plan to generate file like: [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [1,] 1 0.25 0.2 0 [2,] 0.2 0.33 0.2 1 [3,] 1 0.33 0.08 0 Apologies, I know this is very complex. Any help, even just some pointers on how to write a general function where values are separated by a comma, is realy very much appreciated!
