This is my data, it's a matrix. The first column is the ID and the second column is the X value. I want to select 10 ID. In the 10 selected, 5 should be from unpair number ID, and the other 5 should be from ood number ID. The 10 ID selection should be in function from the X value (the most negative value is the best). I want to have something like this:
ID X
428 -1.539627467
413 -0.745086021
....
I tried to use sort(data[data%%2==1])[1:5] but I don't understand how can I extract the column ID from the dataset, because this is a result from a linear model, so R give me the positions but I want to work with this positions and the X value. Please, help me!
Thanks.

The numbers in the first "column" are the rownames of the matrix.
Since the objects in your question have differing names, it's not entirely clear to me if the following works like that.
So I would do something like this:
df=data.frame(ID=rownames(exam),X=exam[,1])
Otherwise please post the output of dput(exam) or dput(data)

Based on what I think you want to do, here's a working example, given the following data frame:
# generate random input data
data <- data.frame(ID=1:20, X=rnorm(20))
Tidyverse offers the cleanest solution:
require(tidyverse)
data %>%
arrange(X)
will sort in ascending order according to column x. Check the documentation for arrange for further details; you can do more complex things such as sorting by group, sorting on multiple columns (ie, specify a first column, and break ties based on successively sorted columns, etc). So what I would recommend would be to put your data into a data frame first:
data <- data.frame(ID=rownames(nuevos), X=nuevos[,1])
where you could substitute ID with whatever you want and then do the above. Add a dput of nuevos for more specific feedback. Note there are a million ways under the sun to do this not involving tidyverse (ie, sort as you mentioned, for instance); tidyverse just tends to make for the cleanest, simplest mechanism in my opinion (since it is plug and play with many other useful things, like ggplot, dplyr, etc) and is really a great way of thinking to get accustomed to for working with data frames, such as this.

How can I regroup this two tables together

I want to regroup this two variables R (votefr, voteaut) together how can I do it? To have in fine only one variable with the french vote and the austrian vote (maybe votefraut).
(below the table of this two variables)
table(d$votefr)
Centre-droite Extreme-droite Gauche
455 117 356
table(d$voteaut)
Centre-Droite Extreme-Droite Gauche
424 208 545
The result that I want is:
table(d$votefraut)
Centre-Droite Extreme-Droite Gauche
879 325 901
If you want to sum up all votes across different countries, you can try
Reduce(`+`, Map(table, df))
Otherwise, you can check table(df)
If both columns are factors with the same levels, we can just add them:
table(d$votefr) + table(d$voteaut)
If they are character class or factor with different levels, we need convert them to factors with the same levels.

Rolling subset of data frame within for loop in R

Big picture explanation is I am trying to do a sliding window analysis on environmental data in R. I have PAR (photosynthetically active radiation) data for a select number of sequential dates (pre-determined based off other biological factors) for two years (2014 and 2015) with one value of PAR per day. See below the few first lines of the data frame (data frame name is "rollingpar").
par14 par15
1356.3242 1306.7725
NaN 1232.5637
1349.3519 505.4832
NaN 1350.4282
1344.9306 1344.6508
NaN 1277.9051
989.5620 NaN
I would like to create a loop (or any other way possible) to subset the data frame (both columns!) into two week windows (14 rows) from start to finish sliding from one window to the next by a week (7 rows). So the first window would include rows 1 to 14 and the second window would include rows 8 to 21 and so forth. After subsetting, the data needs to be flipped in structure (currently using the melt function in the reshape2 package) so that the values of the PAR data are in one column and the variable of par14 or par15 is in the other column. Then I need to get rid of the NaN data and finally perform a wilcox rank sum test on each window comparing PAR by the variable year (par14 or par15). Below is the code I wrote to prove the concept of what I wanted and for the first subsetted window it gives me exactly what I want.
library(reshape2)
par.sub=rollingpar[1:14, ]
par.sub=melt(par.sub)
par.sub=na.omit(par.sub)
par.sub$variable=as.factor(par.sub$variable)
wilcox.test(value~variable, par.sub)
#when melt flips a data frame the columns become value and variable...
#for this case value holds the PAR data and variable holds the year
#information
When I tried to write a for loop to iterate the process through the whole data frame (total rows = 139) I got errors every which way I ran it. Additionally, this loop doesn't even take into account the sliding by one week aspect. I figured if I could just figure out how to get windows and run analysis via a loop first then I could try to parse through the sliding part. Basically I realize that what I explained I wanted and what I wrote this for loop to do are slightly different. The code below is sliding row by row or on a one day basis. I would greatly appreciate if the solution encompassed the sliding by a week aspect. I am fairly new to R and do not have extensive experience with for loops so I feel like there is probably an easy fix to make this work.
wilcoxvalues=data.frame(p.values=numeric(0))
Upar=rollingpar$par14
for (i in 1:length(Upar)){
par.sub=rollingpar[[i]:[i]+13, ]
par.sub=melt(par.sub)
par.sub=na.omit(par.sub)
par.sub$variable=as.factor(par.sub$variable)
save.sub=wilcox.test(value~variable, par.sub)
for (j in 1:length(save.sub)){
wilcoxvalues$p.value[j]=save.sub$p.value
}
}
If anyone has a much better way to do this through a different package or function that I am unaware of I would love to be enlightened. I did try roll apply but ran into problems with finding a way to apply it to an entire data frame and not just one column. I have searched for assistance from the many other questions regarding subsetting, for loops, and rolling analysis, but can't quite seem to find exactly what I need. Any help would be appreciated to a frustrated grad student :) and if I did not provide enough information please let me know.
Consider an lapply using a sequence of every 7 values through 365 days of year (last day not included to avoid single day in last grouping), all to return a dataframe list of Wilcox test p-values with Week indicator. Then later row bind each list item into final, single dataframe:
library(reshape2)
slidingWindow <- seq(1,364,by=7)
slidingWindow
# [1] 1 8 15 22 29 36 43 50 57 64 71 78 85 92 99 106 113 120 127
# [20] 134 141 148 155 162 169 176 183 190 197 204 211 218 225 232 239 246 253 260
# [39] 267 274 281 288 295 302 309 316 323 330 337 344 351 358
# LIST OF WILCOX P VALUES DFs FOR EACH SLIDING WINDOW (TWO-WEEK PERIODS)
wilcoxvalues <- lapply(slidingWindow, function(i) {
par.sub=rollingpar[i:(i+13), ]
par.sub=melt(par.sub)
par.sub=na.omit(par.sub)
par.sub$variable=as.factor(par.sub$variable)
data.frame(week=paste0("Week: ", i%/%7+1, "-", i%/%7+2),
p.values=wilcox.test(value~variable, par.sub)$p.value)
})
# SINGLE DF OF ALL P-VALUES
wilcoxdf <- do.call(rbind, wilcoxvalues)

Sum row values based on previous ones

I'll try to be specific: I want to create a new column on a data frame in which the values are the sum of the previous values in another column.
So I already have the first two columns (ID and Value) below and want to create the third one (Sum), but I don't know how to do this.
In the column "Sum", the values are the sum of the values in "Value), so for example, 31.098 (Sum) is the sum of 16.91 and 14.18 (Value):
ID Value Sum
157 16.91531834 16.91531834
142 14.18365203 31.09897037
205 11.93528052 43.03425089
89 11.83021643 54.86446732
53 6.3668838 61.23135112
204 3.99243539 65.22378651
202 3.21496113 68.43874764

It is the first time I'm posting here. Until now I found everything I was searching for already answered... so, sorry if this kind of question is already answered too (I must have been!), but I wasn't able to find. I'm not a native speaker (as you probably guessed already), so maybe I didn't use the proper key words...
Thanks!!

Object not found error

Firstly I need to explain that I've had MINIMAL training on R and have 0 knowledge of coding languages or programmes like R so please excuse me if I ask silly questions or don't understand something basic.
Also, I have tried to look at past topics/answers on this but I'm having a hard time relating the answers to my data so I apologise if this question has already been answered.
Basically I have a data set and I'm trying to find the mean of two variables (Peak flow before a walk in the cold, and peak flow after a walk in the cold) in this set. This is the entire code I've used so far:
drugs <- read.table(file = "C:\\Users\\Becky\\My Documents\\Asthmadata.txt", header = TRUE)
drugs
str(drugs)
mean.Asthmadata <- tapply (Asthmadata$trial1, list(Asthmadata$PEFR1), mean)
mean.Asthmadata
It works fine until the mean.Asthmadata. The data comes up in R just fine with the other codes but when I get to the mean and do the mean.Asthmadata [...] code, I keep getting the same error: "object 'mean.Asthmadata' not found"
My friend used the same code I did and it worked for him so I'm confused. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
EDIT:
#BenBolker
This is my data set
trial1 PEFR1 trial2 PEFR2
Before 310 After 299
Before 242 After 201
Before 340 After 232
Before 388 After 312
Before 294 After 221
Before 251 After 256
Before 391 After 327
Before 401 After 331
Before 287 After 231
And here's all the code I've used:
drugs <- read.table(file = "C:\\Users\\Becky\\My Documents\\Asthmadata.txt", header = TRUE)
drugs
str(drugs)
mean.drugs <- tapply (drugs$trial1, list(drugs$PEFR1), mean)
mean.drugs
The R version I have has two versions: i386 3.1.3, and x64 3.1.3 – I've tried both but neither seem to do what I want. I'm also using Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. Hope I've included everything you need and I apologise if my formatting is off – I can't quite figure out how to format properly on here yet.
And the error I'm getting NOW is: “Error in split.default(X, group) : first argument must be a vector” when running the code Roland kindly provided. So I'm getting a different error each time I try it – it must be something I'm doing wrong.
Hope I've formatted that all correctly and included everything you need. Thanks :)
drugs <- read.table(header=TRUE,text="
trial1 PEFR1 trial2 PEFR2
Before 310 After 299
Before 242 After 201
Before 340 After 232
Before 388 After 312
Before 294 After 221
Before 251 After 256
Before 391 After 327
Before 401 After 331
Before 287 After 231")
In the current format you can calculate the mean before and after just by doing
mean(drugs$PEFR1)
and
mean(drugs$PEFR2)
What you may have had in mind was this shape:
drugs2 <- with(drugs,
data.frame(trial=c(as.character(trial1),
as.character(trial2)),
PEFR=c(PEFR1,PEFR2)))
I used with() for convenience -- it's a way to temporarily attach a data frame so you can refer directly to the variables therein.)
There's a bit of a pitfall in combining trial1 and trial2, as they get coerced to their numeric codes, which are all 1s in both cases, unless you use as.character() ...
you had the order of the variable to aggregate and the variable to group by backwards (you want to aggregate PEFR by trial, not the other way around)
mean.drugs <- with(drugs2,
tapply (PEFR, list(trial), mean))
## After Before
## 267.7778 322.6667

How does R know that I have no entries of a certain type

I have a table where one of the variables is country of registration.
table(df$reg_country)
returns:
AR BR ES FR IT
123 202 578 642 263
Now, if I subset the original table to exclude one of the countries
df_subset<-subset(df, reg_country!='AR')
table(df_subset$reg_country)
returns:
AR BR ES FR IT
0 202 578 642 263
This second result is very surprising to me, as R seems to somehow magically know that I have removed the the entries from AR.
Why does that happen?
Does it affect the size of the second data frame (df_subset)? If 'yes' - is there a more efficient way to to subset in order to minimize the size?
df$reg_country is a factor variable, which contains the information of all possible levels in the levels attribute. Check levels(df_subset$reg_country).
Factor levels only have a significant impact on data size if you have a huge number of them. I wouldn't expect that to be the case. However, you could use droplevels(df_subset$reg_country) to remove unused levels.
