Mark - Does this do what you want? dat = data.frame(X1=c(1,1),X2=c(1,1),X3=c(1,1), X4=c(0,1),X5=c(NA,NA),x6=c(NA,1))
fixit = function(x){ y = c(x[-1],0) x[is.na(y) & is.na(x)] = 0 x} t(apply(dat,1,fixit)) X1 X2 X3 X4 X5 x6 [1,] 1 1 1 0 0 0 [2,] 1 1 1 1 NA 1 - Phil Spector Statistical Computing Facility Department of Statistics UC Berkeley spec...@stat.berkeley.edu On Tue, 23 Mar 2010, Mark Na wrote:
Dear R-helpers, I have a dataframe like this: ID X1 X2 X3 X4 X5 X6 49 1 1 1 0 NA NA 50 1 1 1 1 NA 1 I would like to convert a missing value (NA) that follows a 0 (zero) or another missing value (NA) into a 0 (zero). So, the above lines would be converted to: ID X1 X2 X3 X4 X5 X6 49 1 1 1 0 0 0 50 1 1 1 1 NA 1 I have been struggling with this all morning, so any help you could provide would be much appreciated. Thank you!
