I have a matrix of frequency counts from 0-160. x<-as.matrix(c(0,1,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1))
I would like to apply a function creating a new column (x[,2])containing values equal to: a) log(x[m,1]) if x[m,1] > 0; and b) for all x[m,1]= 0, log(next x[m,1] > 0 / count of preceding zero values +1) for example, x[1,2] should equal log(x[2,1]/2) = log(1/2) = -0.6931472 whereas x[3,2] should equal log(x[5,1]/3) = log (1/3) = -1.098612 I will be applying this to nrow(x)=~70,000 so I would prefer to not do it by hand!
