Hi, I have the following dataset (simplified for example).
__DATA__ 300.35 200.25 104.30 22.00 31.12 89.99 444.50 22.10 43.00 22.10 200.55 66.77 Now from that I wish to do the following: 1. Compute variance of each row 2. Pick top-2 row with highest variance 3. Store those selected rows for further processing To achieve this, I tried to: a) read the table and compute variance for each row, b) append variance with its original row in a vector, c) store a vector into multidimentional array (matrix), d) sort that array. But I am stuck at the step (b). Can anybody suggest what's the best way to achieve my aim above? This is the sample code I have so far (not working). __BEGIN__ #data <- read.table("testdata.txt") # Is this a right way to initialize? all.arr = NULL for (gi in 1:nofrow) { gex <- as.vector(data.matrix(data[gi,],rownames.force=FALSE)) #compute variance gexvar <- var(gex) # join variance with its original vector nvec <- c(gexvar,gex) # I'm stuck here.....This doesn't seem to work all.arr <- data.frame(nvec) } print(all.arr) __END__ -- Gundala Viswanath Jakarta - Indonesia ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
