Hi,

I have a data.frame(zscores) that looks like this:

     gA     gB
g1  0.2    0.6
g2  0.3    Na

I hope it doesn't look likethat because it would mean you had gB as a character vector when I think you want that value to be NA.



My problem is that I need to use a function and the output is a vector of only the non NA values, so shorter than the list I would obtain dropping the data.frame. What is the cleanest way to keep row and column names or putting the values back into the same data frame format?

I sometime create a logical vector in the data.frame named gdval for "good value"

> zscores$gdval <- apply(zscores, 1, function(x) all(!is.na(x)) )
>
> zscores[ zscores$gdval, -grep("gdval", names(zscores))]
    gA  gB
g1 0.2 0.6 # returns all rows without any NA's without removing any data in zscores



The function is fdrtool() and I can compute the values I'm interested like this:
FDR=fdrtool([!is.na(zscores)])$qval
But at this point I don't know how to track back these values, to the original data frame

Thanks,
Gian Luca
