Running on Slackware here with R-2.15.2. There is a data frame I need to edit to correct mis-spellings and to add a row. I used the edit() command with emacs but could not find the mis-spelled strings nor figure out how to add another row.
The data frame is stored in /usr/lib/R/library/bio.infer/data/itis.ttable.rda and I load it after invoking the bio.infer library. Running the bio.infer get.taxonomic() function brings up a dialog box asking me to correct 5 entries; four are mis-spellings that I correct. When I close the dialog box the function returns a message that one taxon is not in the table: bcnt <- get.taxonomic(emapben) The following taxa are not in ITIS: RADOTANYPUS Adding this taxon to the table seems to make no difference: itis.ttable <- rbind(itis.ttable, data.frame(PHYLUM = "ARTHROPODA", SUBPHYLUM = NA, SUPERCLASS = NA, CLASS = "INSECTA", SUBCLASS = NA, INFRACLASS = NA, SUPERORDER = NA, ORDER = "DIPTERA", SUBORDER = "NEMATOCERA", INFRAORDER = "CULICOMORPHA", SUPERFAMILY = "CHIRONOMOIDAE", FAMILY = "CHIRONOMIDAE", SUBFAMILY = "TANYPODINAE", TRIBE = NA, SUBTRIBE = NA, GENUS = "RADOTANYPUS", TAXON = NA))
bcnt <- get.taxonomic(emapben)
The following taxa are not in ITIS: RADOTANYPUS When I edit the names in the get.taxonomic() dialog box they seem to not be corrected in the data frame as they also are displayed the second time. And, using rbind() to add the missing row does not seem to take. What steps have I missed here, and how should I make these corrections and the addition?
