Hello,
I have a matrix and I want to sample 20 rows that are the the percentiles of
0-100 in 0.05 increments. I have a vector of my sequence
(0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15,....1.0) and also
a normalised vector of rownumbers. That is, there are 234 rows (for
example) so I do
perc<-c(1:234/234)
which looks like a bunch of numbers from 0 - 1.
In Excel (which I try not to use at every possible occaison) you can use a
VLOOKUP function to say choose the rows from the perc vector that are the
closest match to the sequence vector - i.e. you can specify to choose the
"closest" match, it doesn't have to be an exact match.
In R, I'd normally use the grep command when I know it's an exact match.
Does anyone know how to achieve this in R?
Also, I've been getting heaps of help from everyone on this mailing list -
if I reply to the respondent and R Help again, will it show up in the
correct thread? I haven't been able to say thankyou as I wasn't sure it
would show up in the thread.
Thanks
