Use <= to search a range - formula

I want to perform another calculation after checking the range $N$16:$N$9000 for all dates that are >=$C$6 as shown below.
=IF($N$16:$N$9000>=$C$6; "Y"; "N")
I really need a calculation that will test for >=$C$6 and <=$C$8.
The additional equation has been tested and works fine. It will replace the "Y" once I fix this portion of the logic.

Assuming you want to count the values from another column according to date values >=$C$6 and <=$C$8, you could adapt an example from the Conditional Counting and Summation HowTo. It's based on the SUMPRODUCT function.
=SUMPRODUCT($N$16:$N$9000 >= $C$6; $N$16:$N$9000 <= $C$8; $P$16:$P$900)
(assuming that P16:P9000 holds the values to sum up)

Finding the percentage of a specific value in the column of a data set

I have a dataset called college, and one of the columns is 'accepted'. There are two values for this column - 1 (which means student was accepted) and 0 (which means student was not accepted). I was to find the accepted student percentage.
I did this...
table(college$accepted)
which gave me the frequency of 1 and 0. (1 = 44,224 and 0 = 75,166). I then manually added those two values together (119,390) and divided the 44,224/119,390. This is fine and gets me the value I was looking for. But I would really like to know how I could do this with R code, since I'm sure there is a way to do it that I just haven't thought of.
Thanks!
Perhaps you can use prop.table like below
prop.table(table(college$accepted))["1"]
If it's a simple 0/1 column then you only need take the column mean.
mean_accepted <- mean(df$accepted)
you could first sum the column, and the count the total number in the column
sum(college$accepted)/length(college$accepted)
To make the code more explicit and describe your intent better, I suggest using a condition to identify the cases that meet your criteria for inclusion. For example:
college$accepted == 1
Then take the average of the logical vector to compute the proportion (between 0 and 1), multiply by 100 to make it a percentage.
100 * mean(college$accepted == 1, na.rm = TRUE)

Is it possible to create a countif like function in R using ranges?

I've already read this question with an approach to counting entries in R:
how to realize countifs function (excel) in R
I'm looking for a similar approach, except that I want to count data that is within a given range.
For example, let's say I have this dataset:
data <- data.frame( values = c(1,1.2,1.5,1.7,1.7,2))
Following the approach on the linked question, we would develop something like this:
count <- data$values == 1.5
sum(count)
Problem is, I want to be able to include in the count anything that varies 0.2 from 1.5 - that is, all possible number from 1.3 to 1.7.
Is there a way to do so?
sum(data$values>=1.3 & data$values<=1.7)
As the explanation in the question you linked to points out, when you just write out a boolean condition, it generates a vector of TRUEs and FALSEs the same length as your original dataframe. TRUE equals 1 and FALSE equals 0, so summing across it gives you a count. So it simply becomes a matter of putting your condition as a boolean phrase. In the case of more than one condition, you connect them with & or | (or) -- much the same way that you could do in excel (only in excel you have to do AND() or OR()).
(For a more general solution, you can use dplyr::between - it's also supposed to be faster since it's implemented in C++. In this case, it would be sum(between(data$values,1.3,1.7).)
Like #doviod writes, you can use a compound logical condition.
My approach is different, I wrote a function that takes the vector and as range the center point value and the distance delta.
After a suggestion by #doviod, I have set a default value delta = 0, so that if only value is passed, the function returns
a count of cases where the values equal the value the user provides.
(doviod, in the comment)
countif <- function(x, value, delta = 0)
sum(value - delta <= x & x <= value + delta)
data <- data.frame( values = c(1,1.2,1.5,1.7,1.7,2))
countif(data$values, 1.5, 0.2)
#[1] 3
which identifies the location of all values in your vector that satisfy your criterion, and length subsequently counts the 'hits'.
length( which(data$values>=1.3 & data$values<=1.7) )
[1] 3

How to compute for the mean and sd

I need help on 4b please
‘Warpbreaks’ is a built-in dataset in R. Load it using the function data(warpbreaks). It consists of the number of warp breaks per loom, where a loom corresponds to a fixed length of yarn. It has three variables namely, breaks, wool, and tension.
b. For the ‘AM.warpbreaks’ dataset, compute for the mean and the standard deviation of the breaks variable for those observations with breaks value not exceeding 30.
data(warpbreaks)
warpbreaks <- data.frame(warpbreaks)
AM.warpbreaks <- subset(warpbreaks, wool=="A" & tension=="M")
mean(AM.warpbreaks<=30)
sd(AM.warpbreaks<=30)
This is what I understood this problem and typed the code as in the last two lines. However, I wasn't able to run the last two lines while the first 3 lines ran successfully. Can anybody tell me what is the error here?
Thanks! :)
Another way to go about it:
This way you aren't generating a bunch of datasets and then working on remembering which is which. This is more a personal thing though.
data(warpbreaks)
mean(AM.warpbreaks[which(AM.warpbreaks$breaks<=30),"breaks"])
sd(AM.warpbreaks[which(AM.warpbreaks$breaks<=30),"breaks"])
There are two problems with your code. The first is that you are comparing to 30, but you're looking at the entire data frame, rather than just the "breaks" column.
AM.warpbreaks$breaks <= 30
is an expression that refers to the breaks being less than thirty.
But mean(AM.warpbreaks$breaks <= 30) will not give the answer you want either, because R will evaluate the inner expression as a vector of boolean TRUE/FALSE values indicating whether that break is less than 30.
Generally, you just want to take another subset for an analysis like this.
AM.lt.30 <- subset(AM.warpbreaks, breaks <= 30)
mean(AM.lt.30$breaks)
sd(AM.lt.30$breaks)

R Compare each data value of a column to rest of the values in the column?

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)

R: How to get a count for a certain value in a matrix row in R?

Ok I have the following problem:
I have several ranks in a matrix in r. (I've got this by ranking asset returns. Ranks>=3 get an NA, Ranks <3 get the rank number. If some assets share a rank, less NAs are in a row). Here are two example rows and two example rows of a matrix with returns.
ranks<-matrix(c(1,1,2,NA,NA, 1,2,NA,NA,NA),nrow=2,ncol=5)
returns<-matrix(c(0.3,0.1,-0.5,-0.7,0.2,0.1,0.4,0.05,-0.7,-0.3),nrow=2,ncol=5)
Now if all assets are equally bought for our portfolio, I can calculate the average return with:
Mat.Ret<-returns*ranks
Mean.Ret<-rowMeans(Mat.Ret,na.rm=TRUE)
However I want to have the option of giving a vector of weights for the two ranks and these weights say how big of a percentage this particular rank should have in my portfolio. As an example we have a vector of
weights<-c(0.7,0.3)
Now how would I use this in my code? I want to calculate basically ranks*returns*weights. If only ONE rank 1 and ONE rank 2 are in the table, the code works. But how would I do this variable? I mean a solution would be to calculate for each rank how many times it exists in a particular row and then divide the weight by this count. And then I would multiply this "net weight" * rank * returns.
But I have no clue how to do this in code..any help?
UPDATE AFTER FIRST COMMENTS
Ok I want to Keep it flexible to adjust the weights depending on how many times a certain rank is given. A user can choose the top 5 ranked assets, so none or several assets may share ranks. So the distribution of weights must be very flexible. I've programmed a formula which doesn't work yet since I'm obviously not yet experienced enough with the whole matrix and vector selection syntax I guess. This is what I got so far:
ranks<-apply(ranks,1,function(x)distributeWeightsPerMatrixRow(x,weights))
distributeWeightsPerMatrixRow<-function(MatrixRow,Weights){
if(length(Weights)==length(MatrixRow[!is.na(MatrixRow)])){
MatrixRow <- Weights[MatrixRow]
} else {
for(i in 1:length(MatrixRow)){
if(!is.na(MatrixRow[i])){
EqWeights<-length(MatrixRow[MatrixRow==MatrixRow[i]])
MatrixRow[i]<-sum(Weights[MatrixRow[i]:(MatrixRow[i]+EqWeights-1)])/EqWeights
}
}
}
return(MatrixRow)
}
EDIT2:
Function seems to work, however now the resulting ranks object is the transposed version of the original matrix without the column names..
Since your ranks are integers above zero, you can use this matrix for indexing the vector ranks:
mat.weights <- weights[ranks]
mat.weighted.ret <- returns * ranks * mat.weights
Update based on comment.
I suppose you're looking for something like this:
if (length(unique(na.omit(as.vector(ranks)))) == 1)
mat.weights <- (!is.na(ranks)) * 0.5
else
mat.weights <- weights[ranks]
mat.weighted.ret <- returns * ranks * mat.weights
If there is only one rank. All weights become 0.5.
