hi guys..please help me with this i am working on two data frames one goes like this: DF1 Sample_id RepairHours Denatured Dose ZeroMean FourtyFiveMean NinetyMean 1 SDM071 0 1 B 60.5 19.0 45.0 2 SDM071 1 1 B 46.0 23.0 42.5 3 SDM071 2 1 B 52.5 24.0 40.0 4 SDM071 3 1 B 42.0 21.5 45.0 5 SDM053 0 1 B 66.5 28.5 56.5 6 SDM053 1 1 B 47.0 29.0 47.5 7 SDM053 2 1 B 52.0 31.0 44.0 8 SDM053 3 1 B 36.0 34.0 41.5 9 SDM059 0 1 B 47.5 41.5 29.0 10 SDM059 1 1 B 47.0 36.0 35.0 11 SDM059 2 1 B 41.5 42.0 32.5 12 SDM059 3 1 B 46.5 41.5 32.0
and the other one: DF2 SampleId RepairHours Denatured Dose_uM Day_0_Read1 Day_0_Read2 Day_45_Read1 8 SDM071 0 1 C 124 120 108 9 SDM071 0 1 25 123 128 77 10 SDM071 0 1 50 132 138 79 11 SDM071 0 1 100 118 116 68 12 SDM071 0 1 200 125 146 73 20 SDM071 1 1 C 113 117 113 21 SDM071 1 1 25 108 115 132 22 SDM071 1 1 50 105 96 94 23 SDM071 1 1 100 101 101 88 24 SDM071 1 1 200 114 106 89 32 SDM071 2 1 C 143 136 109 33 SDM071 2 1 25 126 147 110 34 SDM071 2 1 50 109 122 107 35 SDM071 2 1 100 114 118 89 36 SDM071 2 1 200 118 128 88 44 SDM071 3 1 C 103 111 116 45 SDM071 3 1 25 108 105 115 46 SDM071 3 1 50 118 99 88 47 SDM071 3 1 100 98 103 105 48 SDM071 3 1 200 112 105 96 56 SDM053 0 1 C 214 208 158 57 SDM053 0 1 25 159 214 178 58 SDM053 0 1 50 170 169 112 59 SDM053 0 1 100 149 158 124 60 SDM053 0 1 200 201 171 115 68 SDM053 1 1 C 149 166 120 69 SDM053 1 1 25 145 134 118 70 SDM053 1 1 50 159 169 130 71 SDM053 1 1 100 113 126 110 72 SDM053 1 1 200 118 112 120 these are just part of the frames...... i have to subtract the first five values of dataframe2 from one value from dataframe1 eg: subtract<-DF2$Day_0_Read1-DF1$ ZeroMean if u notice the repair hours in both have to match...along with their id's. i have tried this zeroday_subtract1=DF1$Day_0_Read1 - DF2[DF1$RepairHours,]$ZeroMean but it dosent work please help me with this...i know its basic but i needhelp thx in advance -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/how-to-compute-when-row-length-is-different-tp2538930p2538930.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
