Hi, Not sure if this is what you want.
dat1<-matrix(sample(1:7,70,replace=TRUE),ncol=10,byrow=FALSE) dat2<-matrix(sample(1:7,70,replace=TRUE),ncol=7,byrow=FALSE) dat1[dat1[,1:10]==1]<-NA > dat1 [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] [,8] [,9] [,10] [1,] 3 4 3 2 3 7 6 2 4 3 [2,] 2 5 NA 7 2 4 2 5 4 6 [3,] 7 NA 2 2 5 7 2 6 7 3 [4,] NA 5 2 5 NA 6 5 5 NA 7 [5,] 5 5 6 5 7 6 4 4 7 6 [6,] 5 7 5 NA 6 5 3 6 3 2 [7,] 3 7 NA 3 2 4 7 4 5 7 dat1[is.na(dat1)]<-sample(dat2[,1:7]) dat1 [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] [,8] [,9] [,10] [1,] 3 4 3 2 3 7 6 2 4 3 [2,] 2 5 1 7 2 4 2 5 4 6 [3,] 7 7 2 2 5 7 2 6 7 3 [4,] 1 5 2 5 1 6 5 5 1 7 [5,] 5 5 6 5 7 6 4 4 7 6 [6,] 5 7 5 3 6 5 3 6 3 2 [7,] 3 7 4 3 2 4 7 4 5 7 A.K. ----- Original Message ----- From: Curtis Burkhalter <curtisburkhal...@gmail.com> To: r-help@r-project.org Cc: Sent: Monday, June 11, 2012 3:44 PM Subject: [R] replacing values of matrix with random values of another dataframe Hello, I'm having trouble performing a certain function within R and I was hoping someone might be able to help. I have a matrix (1000x21) that contains whole-number values ranging from 1-7 and I want to replace all entries within this matrix that have a value of 1 with a random number contained within a different dataframe that has 21 rows,1000 columns. I've tried using the if/else function, but this always seems to return a list with strange output. I've also tried using the "replace" and "apply" functions, but can't seem to get anything to work. My code is as follows: #create data frame of 21000 random values m_good_initial=rnorm(21000,2.79,0.18) m_good_D1=ifelse(m_good_initial<0,0,m_good_initial) m_good_D1mat=matrix(m_good_D1,byrow=T,21) m_good_D1=as.data.frame(m_good_D1mat) #create matrix of (1000x21) that contains whole-number values ranging from 1-7 #using sample to select values with a respective probability search_strat_good <- sample(landscenarios,1000,replace=T,prob=com_avgpgood[1,]) for (i in 2:21) { search_strat_good <- cbind(search_strat_good,sample(landscenarios,1000,replace=T,prob=com_avgpgood[i,])) } #replace all search strategies of value "1" within matrix "search_strat_good" #with a random value from dataframe "m_good_D1" bengood1=ifelse(search_strat_good==1,sample(m_good_D1,replace=F),search_strat_good) Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Curtis Burkhalter [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ 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. ______________________________________________ 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.
