Hello, You can write your own function, allowing for a condition argument.
rowMeansCond <- function(x, cond = ">", na.rm= FALSE){ rowm <- function(x, cond = ">", na.rm = FALSE){ f <- function(x){ eval(parse(text = paste("x", cond, "0"))) } if(na.rm) x <- x[!is.na(x)] i <- f(x) if(any(i)) mean(x[i]) else NA } apply(x, 1, rowm, cond, na.rm) } x1 <- c(1, 1, -1, -1) x2 <- -2:1 rowMeansCond(cbind(x1, x2)) # note the NA, no values are positive rowMeansCond(cbind(x1, x2), cond = "<") Hope this helps, Rui Barradas Em 11-06-2013 13:18, felice escreveu:
hello, when i use the function rowMeans, which is sum/n, can i divide it in 2 parts, -> Sum(just positive values)/n and Sum(just negative values)/n. i need both for my regression but dont know how to do it. for example we have the matrix 1 1 -1 -1 -> rowMeans([1:3 , 2]) just positive -> 1 1 -1 -1 -2 1/2 here not 0 because we dont use the -1 1 1 1 1 1 thanks for helping -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/R-vector-tp4669233.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
