Dear all,
I have some very big data files that look something like this:

I'm trying to extract the maximum and minimum xpehh (last column) values
within a sliding window (non overlapping), of width 10000 (calculated
relative to pos (third column)). However, as you can tell from the brief
excerpt here, although all possible intervals will probably be covered
by at least one data point, the number of data points will be variable
(incidentally, if anyone knows of a way to obtain this number, that
would be lovely), as will the spacing between them. Furthermore, values
of chr (second column) will range from 1 to 22, and values of pos will
be overlapping across them; I want to evaluate the window separately for
each value of chr.
I've looked at the help and FAQ on sliding windows, but I'm a relative
newcomer to R and cannot find a way to do what I need to do. Everything
I've managed to unearth so far seems geared towards smoother time
series. Any help on this problem would be vastly appreciated.
Thanks,
Irene
