Hi Guys, working on a "merge" for 2 data frames. Using the command: x <- merge(annotatedData, UCSCgenes, by.x="names", by.y="Ensembl.Gene.ID", all.x=TRUE) names and Ensembl.Gene.ID are columns with similar elements from the x and y data frames. annotatedData has 8909 entries, so has x(as expected). x has columns for UCSCgenes, but there is no data in them, all n/a, as if no match exists. This is not true as I can manually see and find many similarities
The merge function does not work on "similarities". Matches need to be exact.
between the names and UCSCgenes columns. I am wondering if there is any syntax error, or logical.
Probably logical. -- David Winsemius, MD West Hartford, CT ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
