[R] Missing Data and applying

2008-06-09 Thread Michael Pearmain
Hi All,

Newbie question that i'm sure is easy, but i can't seem to apply properly

I read in a datafram from a CSV file and i want to tell R that from coloum
n_0 to n_32 the value -1 is missing data
i was looking at the
is.na(xx) - c(..,...,) idea but i can't seem to apply it properly, can
anyone offer advice?

On a side issue while i'm asking i have a an XML that i intend to use to add
value labels and variable labels to the dataframe (using a python script)
but i can't seem to find the syntax for adding value labels? i.e  1=Male
2=Female

the labels command doesn't look like the one i want to use, and i've
searched the archives but to no avail (maybe it's a too simple, but i have
looked)

Any help willing accepted

This might help the first question:

 da - (-1):1
 x - data.frame(a1=sample(da,10,TRUE), a2=sample(da,10,TRUE),
a3=sample(da,10,TRUE))
 x
   a1 a2 a3
1   0  1  0
2   0  0  1
3   0  1  0
4  -1  0 -1
5   1  0 -1
6   1  1 -1
7   1 -1 -1
8  -1  0  0
9   1  1  0
10  0  1  0
 is.na(x[1:3]) - x[1:3] == -1
 x
   a1 a2 a3
1   0  1  0
2   0  0  1
3   0  1  0
4  NA  0 NA
5   1  0 NA
6   1  1 NA
7   1 NA NA
8  NA  0  0
9   1  1  0
10  0  1  0
