Make factors out of the dayOfYear and HourOfDay columns and specify the levels you want. Then pass the factors to tapply.
E.g., you may have something like > d <- data.frame(Season=c(1,1,3,4), Type=c(20,15,15,20), Speed=11:14) > tapply(d$Speed, d[c("Season","Type")], mean) Type Season 15 20 1 12 11 3 13 NA 4 NA 14 and you are missing the row for Season==2 and perhaps for some of the types. Making factors out of Season and Type (with the desired levels) lets you get the missing rows and columns in the output of tapply: > d$Season <- factor(d$Season, levels=c(1,2,3,4)) > d$Type <- factor(d$Type, levels=c(5,10,15,20)) > tapply(d$Speed, d[c("Season","Type")], mean) Type Season 5 10 15 20 1 NA NA 12 11 2 NA NA NA NA 3 NA NA 13 NA 4 NA NA NA 14 Bill Dunlap Spotfire, TIBCO Software wdunlap tibco.com > -----Original Message----- > From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org > [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of xin123620 > Sent: Thursday, July 07, 2011 12:21 PM > To: r-help@r-project.org > Subject: [R] How to make matrix missing data 0 > > Dear All, > > I am trying to analysis traffic data with one timestamp > column and speed > column.
