Hello, Something like this?
x <- scan(text = " 125 130.3 327.2 252.2 33.8 6.1 5.1 0.5 0.5 0 2.3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.8 5.1 0 0.3 0 0 0 0 0 0 45.7 43.4 0 0 0 0 0 ") putMissing <- function(x, by){ idx <- by*seq_along(x) idx <- idx[which(idx <= length(x))] x[idx] <- NA x } putMissing(x, 10) putMissing(x, 5) Hope this helps, Rui Barradas Em 25-04-2013 07:41, Roslina Zakaria escreveu:
Dear r-users, I would like to investigate about how to fill in missing data. I started with a complete data and try to introduce missing data into the data series. Then I would use some method to fill in the missing data and then compare with the original data how good it is. My question is, how do I introduce missing data in my complete data systematically like for example every 10th data will be erased and assumed as missing. Here are some rainfall data: 125 130.3 327.2 252.2 33.8 6.1 5.1 0.5 0.5 0 2.3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.8 5.1 0 0.3 0 0 0 0 0 0 45.7 43.4 0 0 0 0 0 Thank you so much for any help given. I hope my question is clear.
