I am working on a simple project to help me get to know R, coming from javascript.
I have imported a list of numbers, and all I simply want to do, is to export a table that looks like the following:
"range","number"
"0.000-0.510",863
"0.510-1.020",21
"1.020-1.530",2
"1.530-2.040",2
"2.040-2.550",0
"2.550-3.059",2
"3.059-3.569",0
"3.569-4.079",3
"4.079->4.589",0
"4.589->5.099",1
where the ranges are in 10 steps, from the smallest to the largest value, the "range" and "number" are the top rows, and the columns going down are the different ranges and number of occurrences in this range.
This is my attempt so far:
list <- read.csv(file = "results/solarSystem.data")
table(list)
range <- (max(list) - min(list)) / 10
a1<-as.data.frame(table(cut(list,breaks=c(min(list),min(list)+1*range,min(list)+2*range,min(list)+3*range,min(list)+4*range,min(list)+5*range,min(list)+6*range,min(list)+7*range,min(list)+8*range,min(list)+9*range,max(list)))))
colnames(a1)<-c("range","freq")
a1
However, I get an error that
'Error in cut.default(list, breaks = c(min(list), min(list) + 1 * range...
'x' must be numeric'
This is the file I am importing, what looks like just a simple list of numbers, so I don't understand how it cannot be numeric?

Any advice on this would be appreciated!

this sounds pretty basic but every time I try to make a histogram, my code is saying x needs to be numeric. I've been looking everywhere but can't find one relating to my problem. I have data with 240 obs with 5 variables.
Nipper length
Number of Whiskers
Crab Carapace
Sex
Estuary location
There is 3 locations and i'm trying to make a histogram with nipper length
I've tried making new factors and levels, with the 80 obs in each location but its not working
Crabs.data <-read.table(pipe("pbpaste"),header = FALSE)##Mac
names(Crabs.data)<-c("Crab Identification","Estuary Location","Sex","Crab Carapace","Length of Nipper","Number of Whiskers")
Crabs.data<-Crabs.data[,-1]
attach(Crabs.data)
hist(`Length of Nipper`~`Estuary Location`)
Error in hist.default(Length of Nipper ~ Estuary Location) :
'x' must be numeric
Instead of correct result
hist() doesn't seem to like taking more than one variable.
I think you'd have the best luck subsetting the data, that is, making a vector of nipper lengths for all crabs in a given estuary.
crabs.data<-read.table("whatever you're calling it")
names<-(as you have it)
Estuary1<-as.vector(unlist(subset(crabs.data, `Estuary Loc`=="Location", select = `Length of Nipper`)))
hist(Estuary1)
Repeat the last two lines for your other two estuaries. You may not need the unlist() command, depending on your table. I've tended to need it for Excel files, but I don't know what format your table is in (that would've been helpful).
I have a table with columns ranging from foo1...... foo999 . Could you give me a code in R to extract a set number of columns as needed by the user. The user should be able to decide about what range of columns he needs i.e from 1 to 60 in a separate table or maybe its 1 to 565 that the user needs. I tried a couple of methods. This is what I have currently. The solution seems to be quite basic but I can't find it anywhere.
number <- readline(prompt="Enter the number of columns: ")
subset(data, select=foo1:foo(number))
The expected output is the contents of the columns from the range that the user needs preferably stored in another variable so that I could use the data for further analysis.
Here's a construct that could do it:
number <- readline(prompt="Enter the number of columns: ")
columns<- eval(parse(text=number))
df_selected <- df[,columns]
This will handle the user entering something like 3:8 or c(1,4,9), etc.
I'm not sure if my title is properly expressing what I'm asking. Once I'm done writing, it'll make sense. Firstly, I just started learning R, so I am a newbie. I've been reading through tutorial series and PDF's I've found online.
I'm working on a data set and I created a data frame of just the year 2001 and the DAM value Bon. Here's a picture.
What I want to do now is create a matrix with 3 columns: Coho Adults, Coho Jacks and the third column the ratio of Coho Jacks to Adults. This is what I'm having trouble with. The ratio between Coho Jacks to Adults.
If I do a line of code like this I get a normal output.
(cohoPassage <- matrix(fishPassage1995BON[c(5,6, 7)], ncol = 3))
The values are 259756, 6780 114934.
I'm figuring in order to get the ratio, I should divide column 5 and column 6's values. So basically 259756/6780 = 38.31
I've tried many things like:
(cohoPassage <- matrix(fishPassage1995BON[c(5,6, 5/6)], ncol = 3))
This just outputs the value of the fifth column instead of dividing for some reason
I've tried this:
matrix(fishPassage1995BON[c(5,6)],fishPassage1995BON[,5]/fishPassage1995BON[,6], ncol = 3)
Which gives me an incorrect output
I decided to break down the problem and divide the fifth and sixth columns separately and it gave the correct ratio.
If I create a matrix like this
matrix(fishPassage1995BON[,5]/fishPassage1995BON[,6])
It outputs the correct ratio of 38.31209. But when I try to combine everything, I just keep getting errors.
What can I do? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
I would like to create a function that looks at a column of values. from those values look at each value individually, and asses which of the other data points value is closest to that data point.
I'm guessing it could be done by checking the length of the data frame, making a list of the respective length in steps of 1. Then use that list to reference which cell is being analysed against the rest of the column. though I don't know how to implement that.
eg.
data:
20
17
29
33
1) is closest to 2)
2) is closest to 1)
3) is closest to 4)
4) is closest to 3)
I found this example which tests for similarity but id like to know what letter is assigns to.
x=c(1:100)
your.number=5.43
which(abs(x-your.number)==min(abs(x-your.number)))
Also if you know how I could do this, could you expain the parts of the code and what they mean?
I wrote a quick function that does the same thing as the code you provided.
The code you provided takes the absolute value of the difference between your number and each value in the vector, and compares that the minimum value from that vector. This is the same as the which.min function that I use below. I go through my steps below. Hope this helps.
Make up some data
a = 1:100
yourNumber = 6
Where Num is your number, and x is a vector
getClosest=function(x, Num){
return(which.min(abs(x-Num)))
}
Then if you run this command, it should return the index for the value of the vector that corresponds to the closest value to your specified number.
getClosest(x=a, Num=yourNumber)
I have found similar problems to this here:
Count the number of words in a string in R?
and here
Faster way to split a string and count characters using R?
but I can't get either to work in my example.
I have quite a large dataframe. One of the columns has genomic locations for features and the entries are formatted as follows:
[hg19:2:224840068-224840089:-]
[hg19:17:37092945-37092969:-]
[hg19:20:3904018-3904040:+]
[hg19:16:67000244-67000248,67000628-67000647:+]
I am splitting out these elements into thier individual elements to get the following (i,e, for the first entry):
hg19 2 224840068 224840089 -
But in the case of the fourth entry, I would like to pase this into two seperate locations.
i.e
hg19:16:67000244-67000248,67000628-67000647:+]
becomes
hg19 16 67000244 67000248 +
hg19 16 67000628 67000647 +
(with all the associated data in the adjacent columns filled in from the original)
An easy way for me to identify which rows need this action is to simply count the rows with commas ',' as they don't appear in any other text in any other columns, except where there are multiple genomic locations for the feature.
However I am failing at the first hurdle because the sapply command incorrectly returns '1' for every entry.
testdat$multiple <- sapply(gregexpr(",", testdat$genome_coordinates), length)
(or)
testdat$multiple <- sapply(gregexpr("\\,", testdat$genome_coordinates), length)
table(testdat$multiple)
1
4
Using the example I have posted above, I would expect the output to be
testdat$multiple
0
0
0
1
Actually doing
grep -c
on the same data in the command line shows I have 10 entries containing ','.
Using the example I have posted above, I would expect the output to be
So initially I would like to get this working but also I am a bit stumped for ideas as to how to then extract the two (or more) locations and put them on thier own rows, filling in the adjacent data.
Actually what I intended to to was to stick to something I know (on the command line) grepping the rows with ','out, duplicate the file and split and awk selected columns (1st and second location in respective files) then cat and sort them. If there is a niftier way for me to do this in R then I would love a pointer.
gregexpr does in fact return an object of length 1. If you want to find the rows which have a match vs the ones which don't, then you need to look at the returned value , not the length. A match failure returns -1 .
Try foo<-sapply(testdat$genome, function(x) gregexpr(',',x)); as.logical(foo) to get the rows with a comma.
