Hello, To me as a beginner, every problem looks big. Below is what I was asked to do as part of a code that will solve my problem. I have used read.table to read my data into R and assigned the column names with colnames(dat)<- ... . But to go from txt<-" to the last " at the bottom of the table below is what I am unable to do. Could anybody please tell me how to type or arrive at txt<-" y m d count .................. .................. " in R. Thank you for your attention Ogbos .........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Here is a more extensive example that shows also how to get date or counts associated to pits/peaks: txt <- " y m d count 93 02 07 3974.6 93 02 08 3976.7 93 02 09 3955.2 93 02 10 3955.0 93 02 11 3971.8 93 02 12 3972.8 93 02 13 3961.0 93 02 14 3972.8 93 02 15 4008.0 93 02 16 4004.2 93 02 17 3981.2 93 02 18 3996.8 93 02 19 4028.2 93 02 20 4029.5 93 02 21 3953.4 93 02 22 3857.3 93 02 23 3848.3 93 02 24 3869.8 93 02 25 3898.1 93 02 26 3920.5 93 02 27 3936.7 93 02 28 3931.9 " con <- textConnection(txt) dat <- read.table(con, header = TRUE) close(con) dat$date <- as.Date(paste(dat$y, dat$m, dat$d), format = "%y %m %d") library(pastecs) tp <- turnpoints(dat$count) [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ 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.
