Re: [R] How to calculate min of a dataset that contains empty column

Presumably there is no reason to attempt plotting an empty column, so best approach is probably to remove the columns that contain no values. Try > f.temp<-f[,-which(apply(f,2,function(x)all(is.na(x] and then run your script for f.temp instead of the original f. Also, you may find you h

Let's say your data.frame is called xx Then try: apply(xx,2, function(x) {min(na.omit(x))} ) Does it work ? On Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 2:24 AM, Chris Li wrote: > > Hi all, > > I have got a dataset like the following: > > a b c > 1 5 > 2 > 3 7 > > I am taking the minimum of each co

Hi all, I have got a dataset like the following: a b c 1 5 2 3 7 I am taking the minimum of each column and use it as the minimum of the y-axis of my graphs. My scripts (simplified version) are like the following: f<-array f[1]=a f[2]=b f[3]=c for i in 1:3 name=f[i] ymin<-min(datas
