Hi all I'm trying to make some assignments to an ffdf using values coming in as 3 columns (row, col, values)
As an example with a regular matrix assigning data (d) to row r and column c from a data frame assigns the 3 specific values as desired reg.mat <- matrix(0, nrow=5, ncol=5) > reg.mat [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [1,] 0 0 0 0 0 [2,] 0 0 0 0 0 [3,] 0 0 0 0 0 [4,] 0 0 0 0 0 [5,] 0 0 0 0 0 coldat <- data.frame(r = c(1,2,4), c = c(2,1,3), d=c(10,11,12)) > coldat r c d 1 1 2 10 2 2 1 11 3 4 3 12 reg.mat[cbind(coldat$r, coldat$c)] <- coldat$d > reg.mat [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [1,] 0 10 0 0 0 [2,] 11 0 0 0 0 [3,] 0 0 0 0 0 [4,] 0 0 12 0 0 [5,] 0 0 0 0 0 However using an ff matrix with an incoming 3 column ffdf I cant seem to get it to go... ff.mat<-ff(as.integer(0), dim=c(5,5)) > tst.mat ff (open) integer length=25 (25) dim=c(5,5) dimorder=c(1,2) [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [1,] 0 0 0 0 0 [2,] 0 0 0 0 0 [3,] 0 0 0 0 0 [4,] 0 0 0 0 0 [5,] 0 0 0 0 0 coldatff <- ffdf(r=ff(as.integer(c(1,2,4))),c=ff(as.integer(c(2,1,3))),d=ff(as.integer(c(10,11,12)))) > coldatff ffdf (all open) dim=c(3,3), dimorder=c(1,2) row.names=NULL ffdf virtual mapping PhysicalName VirtualVmode PhysicalVmode AsIs VirtualIsMatrix PhysicalIsMatrix PhysicalElementNo PhysicalFirstCol PhysicalLastCol r r integer integer FALSE FALSE FALSE 1 1 1 c c integer integer FALSE FALSE FALSE 2 1 1 d d integer integer FALSE FALSE FALSE 3 1 1 PhysicalIsOpen r TRUE c TRUE d TRUE ffdf data r c d 1 1 2 10 2 2 1 11 3 4 3 12 ff.mat[cbind(coldatff$r,coldatff$c)] <-coldatff$d > ff.mat ff (open) integer length=25 (25) dim=c(5,5) dimorder=c(1,2) [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [1,] 0 0 0 0 0 [2,] 0 0 0 0 0 [3,] 0 0 0 0 0 [4,] 0 0 0 0 0 [5,] 0 0 0 0 0 Using cbind = still getting only zeros. Tried a few other methods I just cant seem to wrap my head around how to do this..... I had a look at ffindexset, but that looks like assigning whole rows at a time. I appreciate any help !!
