Dear all, Happy new year!
I have a question re using sapply. Below is a dummy example that would replicate the error I saw. ##Code Starts here DummyFunc <- function(x) { if (x > 0) { return (x) } else { return (-x) } } Y = data.frame(val = c(-3:7)) sapply(Y, FUN = DummyFunc) ##Code ends here When I run it, I got: val [1,] 3 [2,] 2 [3,] 1 [4,] 0 [5,] -1 [6,] -2 [7,] -3 [8,] -4 [9,] -5 [10,] -6 [11,] -7 Warning message: In if (x > 0) { : the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used The result is different from what I would expect plus there is such an error message. I guess if the DummyFunc I provided is compatible with vectors, the problem would go away. But let's suppose I cannot change DummyFunc. Is there still a way to use sapply or alike without actually writing a loop? Thanks. - Alex [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
