Hi I am trying to create a loop which averages replicates in my data. The original data has many rows. and consists of 40 column zz[,2:41] plus row headings in zz[,1] I am trying to average each set of values (i.e. zz[1,2:3] averaged and placed in average_value[1,2] and so on. below is my script but it seems to be stuck in an endless loop Any suggestions??
for (i in 1:length(average_value[,1])) { average_value[i] <- i^100; print(average_value[i]) #calculates Meanss #Sample A average_value[i,2] <- rowMeans(zz[i,2:3]) average_value[i,3] <- rowMeans(zz[i,4:5]) average_value[i,4] <- rowMeans(zz[i,6:7]) average_value[i,5] <- rowMeans(zz[i,8:9]) average_value[i,6] <- rowMeans(zz[i,10:11]) #Sample B average_value[i,7] <- rowMeans(zz[i,12:13]) average_value[i,8] <- rowMeans(zz[i,14:15]) average_value[i,9] <- rowMeans(zz[i,16:17]) average_value[i,10] <- rowMeans(zz[i,18:19]) average_value[i,11] <- rowMeans(zz[i,20:21]) #Sample C average_value[i,12] <- rowMeans(zz[i,22:23]) average_value[i,13] <- rowMeans(zz[i,24:25]) average_value[i,14] <- rowMeans(zz[i,26:27]) average_value[i,15] <- rowMeans(zz[i,28:29]) average_value[i,16] <- rowMeans(zz[i,30:31]) #Sample D average_value[i,17] <- rowMeans(zz[i,32:33]) average_value[i,18] <- rowMeans(zz[i,34:35]) average_value[i,19] <- rowMeans(zz[i,36:37]) average_value[i,20] <- rowMeans(zz[i,38:39]) average_value[i,21] <- rowMeans(zz[i,40:41]) } thanks ______________________________________________ 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.
