Hi Group, I have a data matrix sm (dput code given below). I want to create a data matrix with rows with same variable that have higher mean.
> sm Gene GSM529305 GSM529306 GSM529307 GSM529308 1 A1BG 6.57 6.72 6.83 6.69 2 A1CF 2.91 2.80 3.08 3.00 3 A2LD1 5.82 7.01 6.62 6.87 4 A2M 9.21 9.35 9.32 9.19 5 A2M 2.94 2.50 3.16 2.76 6 A4GALT 6.86 5.75 6.06 7.04 7 A4GNT 3.97 3.56 4.22 3.88 8 AAA1 3.39 2.90 3.16 3.23 9 AAAS 8.26 8.63 8.40 8.70 10 AAAS 6.82 7.15 7.33 6.51 For example in rows 4 and 5 have same variable Gene A2M. I want to select only row that has higher mean. I wrote the following code that gives me duplicate rows with higher mean but I cannot properly write the result. Could someone help. Thanks ugns <- unique(sm$Gene) exwidh = c() for(i in 1:length(ugns)){ k = ugns[i] exwidh[i] <- sm[names(sort(rowMeans(sm[which(sm[,1]==k),2:ncol(sm)]),decreasing=TRUE)[1]),] } structure(list(Gene = c("A1BG", "A1CF", "A2LD1", "A2M", "A2M", "A4GALT", "A4GNT", "AAA1", "AAAS", "AAAS"), GSM529305 = c(6.57, 2.91, 5.82, 9.21, 2.94, 6.86, 3.97, 3.39, 8.26, 6.82), GSM529306 = c(6.72, 2.8, 7.01, 9.35, 2.5, 5.75, 3.56, 2.9, 8.63, 7.15), GSM529307 = c(6.83, 3.08, 6.62, 9.32, 3.16, 6.06, 4.22, 3.16, 8.4, 7.33), GSM529308 = c(6.69, 3, 6.87, 9.19, 2.76, 7.04, 3.88, 3.23, 8.7, 6.51)), .Names = c("Gene", "GSM529305", "GSM529306", "GSM529307", "GSM529308"), row.names = c(NA, 10L), class = "data.frame") ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see 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.
