Dear R-Experts, I have a cosmic ray data that span several years. The data frame is of the form: 03 01 01 00 3809 03 01 01 01 3771 03 01 01 02 3743 03 01 01 03 3747 03 01 01 04 3737 03 01 01 05 3751 03 01 01 06 3733 03 01 01 07 3732. where the columns 1 to 5 stand for year, month, day, hour and counts. Some hours when the station does not have data are assigned zero, implying there could be several zeros in column 5. Since my aim is to plot the hourly mean for all the years, I started learning with one year - year 2003.
I carefully went through the data, removing any day that contains zero for any of the hours. Instead of the 365 days in the year 2003, I ended up with 362 days. I saved that as CLMX1C (now stored in Ogbos2 with dput function, see attached please). If I run the data with my script, it gives me what I am expecting. My script is: d<-read.table("CLMX1C",col.names=c("h","count")) y<-d$count data<-(y-mean(y))/mean(y)*100 A<-matrix(rep(1:24,362)) B<-matrix(data) oodf<-data.frame(A,B) oodf<-data.frame(A,B) library(plotrix) std.error<-function(x) return(sd(x)/(sum(!is.na(x)))) oomean<-as.vector(by(oodf$B,oodf$A,mean)) oose<-as.vector(by(oodf$B,oodf$A,std.error)) plot(1:24,oomean,type="b",ylim=c(-0.4,0.5), xlab="Hours",ylab="CR count",main="CR daily variation for 2004") dispersion(1:24,oomean,oose,arrow.cap=.01) Now, instead of foraging through the big data removing the day for which there is a missing data for any hour, I wish to try to replace the missing data with NA and hoping that it will do the job for me. I added just three lines in the script above: d<-read.table("2003",col.names=c("y","m","d","h","count")) y<-d$count df<-data.frame(y)#line 1 library('dplyr') # line 2 y<-na_if(df, 0) #line 3 data<-(y-mean(y))/mean(y)*100. Then I started getting error messages: Error in is.data.frame(x) : (list) object cannot be coerced to type 'double' In addition: There were 26 warnings (use warnings() to see them). I hope you will assist me to deal with the issues of replacing zeros with NA in column 5 in such a way that my code will run. Iam ever indebted!!
