Hi:

I'm having some difficulty properly subscripting a function to remove
complete NA rows from a R array object.  Could someone please suggest how
best
to script this out?

Data structure:

X is an array with 3 dimensions (replicates, Species, Sites)
replicates: 1 to 6 but ragged...not all sites equal



,,Site1

        Sp1     Sp2     Sp3...  Sp50
1       5       4       3               2
2       3       0       0               1
3       NA      NA      NA              NA
4       NA      NA      NA              NA
5       NA      NA      NA              NA
6       NA      NA      NA              NA



,,Site2

        Sp1     Sp2     Sp3...  Sp50
1       5       4       3               2
2       3       0       0               1
3       1       1       0               0
4       NA      NA      NA              NA
5       NA      NA      NA              NA
6       NA      NA      NA              NA


,,Site3

        Sp1     Sp2     Sp3...  Sp50
1       5       4       3               2
2       3       0       0               1
3       1       1       0               0
4       5       4       3               2
5       3       0       0               1
6       1       1       0               0

Most appreciatively:

Brian Campbell


Try

# Make up some data
x<- array(1:24, c(4, 3, 2))
x[3,, 1]<- NA
x[3:4,, 2]<- NA
x

apply(x, 3, function(mat)
                do.call(rbind, apply(mat, 1, function(y) if(any(!is.na(y))) y)))


Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas


Or use complete.cases():

  apply(x, 3, function(mat) mat[complete.cases(mat), ])
