This is the same set of data that I have been working with for those
in the know. it is a matrix of ~174 columns and ~70,000 rows. I have
it as a zoo object, but I could read it in as just a matrix as long as
the date time stamp won't be corrupted.
here is an example of what a column would look like:
1/1/06 12:00, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6 ,7, NA
#read in with the following thanks to Gabor
# chron
> library(chron)
> fmt.chron <- function(x) {
+ chron(sub(" .*", "", x), gsub(".* (.*)", "\\1:00", x))
+ }
> z1 <- read.zoo("all.csv", sep = ",", header = TRUE, FUN = fmt.chron)
#this part works just fine and I can plot and analyze data till my
hearts content
I need to replace NA (~700,000+) with the numeric value 9999 for a
beam forming exercise that we are conducting with a geophysicist in
matlab. I can't get it into excel in the present form because it is
too big. I was wondering if there was an easy way to do such a thing
in R?
I tried the following:
dat <- sapply(z1, function(x) {x[is.na(x)] <- 9999; x})
and I got the following error:
Error in array(unlist(answer, recursive = FALSE), dim = c(common.len, :
'dim' specifies too large an array
thanks for the help
