OK, I need help!! I've been searching, but I don't understand the logic of some this dataframe addressing syntax.
What is this type of code called? test [["v3"]] [is.na(test[["v2"]])] <-10 #choose column v3 where column v2 is == 4 and replace with 10 and where is it documented? The code below works for what I want to do (find the non-missing value in a row), but why? test <- read.table(text=" v1 v2 v3 result 3 NA NA NA NA 3 NA NA NA NA 3 NA " , header=TRUE) test [["result"]] [!(is.na(test[["v1"]]))] <- test [["v1"]] [!(is.na (test[["v1"]]))] test [["result"]] [!(is.na(test[["v2"]]))] <- test [["v2"]] [!(is.na (test[["v2"]]))] test [["result"]] [!(is.na(test[["v3"]]))] <- test [["v3"]] [!(is.na (test[["v3"]]))] thanks!
