I have a data frame called measlescases comprised of columns like "Final Classification' 'ProvinceofResidence', 'AgeCategory', 'Vaccinationstatus', etc.
I would like to calculate the number of measles cases (obtained from the 'Final Classification' column) each by 'ProvinceofResidence', 'AgeCategory', 'Vaccinationstatus'.
Can someone give me a line of code using one of these columns as examples?
Thanks
YEt to try. Still new to R

I have a dataset in R that I would like to find the average of a given variable for each year in the dataset (here, from 1871-2019). Not every year has the same number of entries, and so I have encountered two problems: first, how to find the average of the variable for each year, and second, how to add the column of averages to the dataset. I am unsure how to approach the first problem, but I attempted a version of the second problem by simply finding the sum of each group and then trying to add those values to the dataset for each entry of a given year with the code teams$SBtotal <- tapply(teams$SB, teams$yearID, FUN=sum). That code resulted in an error that notes replacement has 149 rows, data has 2925. I know that this can be done less quickly in Excel, but I'm hoping to be able to use R to solve this problem.
The tapply should work
data(iris)
tapply(iris$Sepal.Length, iris$Species, FUN = sum)
I'm new in R and I'm having a little issue. I hope some of you can help me!
I have a data.frame including answers at a single questionnaire.
The rows indicate the participants.
The first columns indicates the participant ID.
The following columns include the answers to each item of the questionnaire (item.1 up to item.20).
I need to create two new vectors:
total.score <- sum of all 20 values for each participant
subscore <- sum of some of the items
I would like to use a function, like a sum(A:T) in Excel.
Just to recap, I'm using R and not other software.
I already did it by summing each vector just with the symbol +
(data$item.1 + data$item.2 + data$item.3 etc...)
but it is a slow way to do it.
Answers range from 0 to 3 for each item, so I expect a total score ranging from 0 to 60.
Thank you in advance!!
Let's use as example this data from a national survey with a questionnaire
If you download the .csv file to your working directory
data <- read.csv("2016-SpanishSurveyBreastfeedingKnowledge-AELAMA.csv", sep = "\t")
Item names are p01, p02, p03...
Imagine you want a subtotal of the first five questions (from p01 to p05)
You can give a name to the group:
FirstFive <- c("p01", "p02", "p03", "p04", "p05")
I think this is worthy because of probably you will want to perform more tasks with this group (analysis, add or delete a question from the group...), and because it helps you to provide meaningful names (for instance "knowledge", "attitudes"...)
And then create the subtotal variable:
data$subtotal1 <- rowSums(data[ , FirstFive])
You can check that the new variable is the sum
head(data[ , c(FirstFive, "subtotal2")])
(notice that FirstFive is not quoted, because it is an object outside data, but subtotal2 is quoted, because it is the name of a variable in data)
You can compute more subtotals and use them to compute a global score
You could may be save some keystrokes if you know that these variables are the columns 20 to 24:
names(data)[20:24]
And then sum them as
rowSums(data[ , c(20:24)])
I think this is what you asked for, but I would avoid doing this way, as it is easier to make mistakes, whick can be hard to be detected
I am trying to build a code for a fund analysis, which starts from the returns of the fund at different frequencies. I have been able to split the data by frequencies, that is, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly, but the next step is not quite working for me. I have done it many times on excel and SPSS, but since R is a new language for me, it is proving to be challenging. A sample of my data is given herewith :
Date Dat1 Dat2
30/06/2009 54.26 1307.16
31/07/2009 65.28 1425.40
31/08/2009 70.71 1498.97
30/09/2009 76.18 1552.84
30/10/2009 71.92 1532.74
30/11/2009 77.14 1559.57
What I wish to do is to have two more columns, with n-1 elements in them, starting at the second index. So the entries in the new columns for the 30/06/2009 would be '-' and '-' and for the 31/07/2009 row would be the values of (65.28-54.26)/54.26 and (1425.40-1307.16)/1307.16 and so forth, until the very last case. But when I run the simple code
Daily$Dat1.Return <- diff(log(Daily$Dat1)) I get the following error :
Error in `$<-.data.frame`(`*tmp*`, Dat1, value = c(-0.0616981144702153, :
replacement has 2161 rows, data has 2162
How can I get the columns I want?
Currently have a list of 27 correlation matrices with 7 variables, doing social science research.
Some correlations are "NA" due to missing data.
When I do the analysis, however, I do not analyse all variables in one go.
In a particular instance, I would like to keep one of the variables conditionally, if it contains at least some value (i.e. other than "NA", since there are 7 variables, I am keeping anything that DOES NOT contain 6"NA"s, and correlation with itself, 1 -> this is the tricky part because 1 is a value, but it's meaningless to me in a correlation matrix).
Appreciate if anyone could enlighten me regarding the code.
I am rather new to R, and the only thought I have is to use an if statement to set the condition. But I have been trying for hours but to no avail, as this is my first real coding experience.
Thanks a lot.
since you didn't provide sample data, I am first going to convert your matrix into a dataframe and then I am just going to pretend that you want us to see if your dataframe df has a variable var with at least one non-NA or 1. value
df <- as.data.frame(as.table(matrix)) should convert your matrix into a dataframe
table(df$var) will show you the distribution of values in your dataframe's variable. from here you can make your judgement call on whether to keep the variable or not.
I am working in r, what I want to di is make a table or a graph that represents for each participant their missing values. i.e. I have 4700+ participants and for each questions there are between 20 -40 missings. I would like to represent the missing in such a way that I can see who are the people that did not answer the questions and possible look if there is a pattern in the missing values. I have done the following:
Count of complete cases in a data frame named 'data'
sum(complete.cases(mydata))
Count of incomplete cases
sum(!complete.cases(mydata$Variable1))
Which cases (row numbers) are incomplete?
which(!complete.cases(mydata$Variable1))
I then got a list of numbers (That I am not quite sure how to interpret,at first I thought these were the patient numbers but then I noticed that this is not the case.)
I also tried making subsets with only the missings, but then I litterly only see how many missings there are but not who the missings are from.
Could somebody help me? Thanks!

If there is a column that can distinguish a row in the data.frame mydata say patient numbers patient_no, then you can easily find out the patient numbers of missing people by:
> mydata <- data.frame(patient_no = 1:5, variable1 = c(NA,NA,1,2,3))
> mydata[!complete.cases(mydata$variable1),'patient_no']
[1] 1 2
If you want to consider the pattern in which the users have missed a particular question, then this might be useful for you:
Assumption: Except Column 1, all other columns represent the columns related to questions.
> lapply(mydata[,-1],function(x){mydata[!complete.cases(x),'patient_no']})
Remember that R automatically attach numbers to the observations in your data set. For example if your data has 20 observations (20 rows), R attaches numbers from 1 to 20, which is actually not part of your original data. They are the row numbers. The results produced by the R code: which(!complete.cases(mydata$Variable1)) correspond to those numbers. The numbers are the rows of your data set that has at least one missing data (column).
