you could start by something like the following:

x <- c("Y", "H", NA, NA)
y <- c(NA, "H", NA, "B")

ifelse(is.na(x), y, x)


I hope it helps.

Best,

Hi all,
I have two vectors like this:


      x <- c( "Y", "H", NA,  NA )

    y <- c( NA,  "H", NA,  "B" )

And would like to make one vector with the common elements, and the element 
available only in one of the vectors.


      res <- c( "Y",  "H", NA,  "B" )


Thanks,
Patricia

Subject: [R] initial value in 'vmmin' is not finite


Dear r helpers
I run the following code for nested logit and got a message that Error in optim(c(0, 0, 0, 0, 0.1, -2, -0.2), fr, hessian = TRUE, method = "BFGS") : initial value in 'vmmin' is not finite
What does this mean? and how can I correct it?
Thank you
June
