Re: [R] About calculating average values from several matrices

Dear Lily,

Harold is telling you to type "?round" at the R command prompt to pull
up the "round" help page.

>?round
>help("round")

AFAIK, the above two commands are equivalent, in general.

Best, Bill.

Thanks very much, it works. But how to round the values to have only 1 decimal 
digit or 2 decimal digits? I think by dividing, the values are double type now.

Just call 'round' on your results then at your desired number of digits.

Thanks very much, it works. But how to round the values to have only 1
decimal digit or 2 decimal digits? I think by dividing, the values are
double type now. Thanks again.

Re: [R] About calculating average values from several matrices

2017-05-09 Thread Charles Determan
If you want the mean of each element across you list of matrices the
following should provide what you are looking for where Reduce sums all
your matrix elements across matrices and the simply divided my the number
of matrices for the element-wise mean.

Reduce(`+`, mylist)/length(mylist)

Charles

I meant for each cell, it takes the average from other dataframes at the
same cell. I don't know how to deal with row names and col names though, so
it has the error message.

Re: [R] About calculating average values from several matrices

2017-05-09 Thread Doran, Harold
It’s not clear to me what your actual structure is. Can you provide 
str(object)? Assuming it is a list, and you want the mean over all cells or 
columns, you might want like this:

myData <- vector("list", 3)

for(i in 1:3){
myData[[i]] <- matrix(rnorm(100), 10, 10)
}

### mean over all cells
sapply(myData, function(x) mean(x))

### mean over all columns
sapply(myData, function(x) colMeans(x))

Re: [R] About calculating average values from several matrices

2017-05-09 Thread lily li
I'm trying to get a new dataframe or whatever to call, which has the same
structure with each file as listed above. For each cell in the new
dataframe or the new file, it is the average value from former dataframes
at the same location. Thanks.

Re: [R] About calculating average values from several matrices

2017-05-09 Thread Doran, Harold
Are you trying to take the mean over all cells, or over rows/columns within 
each dataframe. Also, are these different dataframes stored within a list or 
are they standalone?

Subject: [R] About calculating average values from several matrices

Hi R users,

I have a question about manipulating the data.
For example, there are several such data frames or matrices, and I want to 
calculate the average value from all the data frames or matrices. How to do it? 
Also, should I convert them to data frame or matrix first? Right now, when I 
use typeof() function, each one is a list.
