# I have a dataframe in the following form: track <- c(rep('A', 3), rep('B', 4), rep('C', 4)) value <- c(0.15, 0.25, 0.35, 0.05, 0.99, 0.32, 0.13, 0.80, 0.75, 0.60, 0.44) df <- data.frame(track=factor(track), value=value)
#> print(df) #track value #1 A 0.15 #2 A 0.25 #3 A 0.35 #4 B 0.05 #5 B 0.99 #6 B 0.32 #7 B 0.13 #8 C 0.80 #9 C 0.75 #10 C 0.60 #11 C 0.44 # If any of the values are below a threshold value, I want to replace it with the # threshold value. The twist is that there is a different threshold value for # every track. # I tried something like this, but it's not working threshold <- list() threshold['A'] <- 0.2 threshold['B'] <- 0.4 threshold['C'] <- 0.5 for (track in levels(df$track)){ df[df$track==track,]$outcome <- pmax(df[df$track==track,]$outcome, threshold[track]) } # Warning messages: # 1: In is.na(mmm) : is.na() applied to non-(list or vector) of type 'NULL' # 2: In is.na(mmm) : is.na() applied to non-(list or vector) of type 'NULL' # 3: In is.na(mmm) : is.na() applied to non-(list or vector) of type 'NULL' #****************** # Desired Results: #> print(df) #track value #1 A 0.20 # value changed #2 A 0.25 #3 A 0.35 #4 B 0.40 # value changed #5 B 0.99 #6 B 0.40 # value changed #7 B 0.40 # value changed #8 C 0.80 #9 C 0.75 #10 C 0.60 #11 C 0.50 # value changed # Any ideas?
