Hi Ben,
Yes, this is more or less what I want to do. I want to apply this data in columns in a matrix, and insert the results to additional columns. I am not
entirely aware of a good way of doing this.

e.g. take data from column B, apply normalisation, and feed output into
column C


Oh,

I think you want to use cbind() to add columns to a matrix. Perhaps like this which works with the second column...

v <- matrix(data = rnorm(100), nrow = 10, ncol = 10)
mm <- range(v[,2])
s <- 10 * (v[,2]-mm[1])/(mm[2]-mm[1])
v2 <- cbind(v, s)

Cheers,
Ben



Thanks,

rcoder

Hi everyone,

I want to score a set of data (-ve to +ve) using a 0-10 scale. I
have the
data in an R matrix, so I need to add another column, containing
the scores
and resave.


Hi,

I am a little fuzzy on what you are asking, but my guess is that you
want to normalize the data into the 0-1 range then multiply by 10.

values <- rnorm(10) #some numbers
mm <- range(values) #the minmax range
scaled <- (values-mm[1])/(mm[2]-mm[1]) #normalize into 0-1
scaled10 <- 10 * scaled #scale 0-10

Is that what you seek?
Ben
