Re: [R] remove quotes from matrix

2017-09-19 Thread greg holly

Hi Bert;

I sincerely appreciate for this. When I follow your way I have got
dimnames(dm)
[[1]]
NULL

I think this is the reason why the matrix is being converted into  a column
vector.

Regards,

Greg

Re: [R] remove quotes from matrix

2017-09-19 Thread David L Carlson

Your description was confusing. You do not have row names that are non-numeric:

> str(dta)
'data.frame':   5 obs. of  5 variables:
 $ Sub_Pathways: Factor w/ 79 levels "Acetylated_Peptides",..: 3 3 3 3 3
 $ BMI_beta: num  0.2382 -0.313 0.1238 0.3035 -0.00982
 $ SAT_beta: num  -0.0241 -1.9751 0.4095 0.4861 0.3293
 $ VAT_beta: num  0.942 -2.22 0.68 0.708 0.016
 $ VSR_beta: num  0.2469 -0.2354 0.0554 0.0134 -0.0435

You have a column that is a factor with 79 levels. That cannot be row names 
because you indicated that the original data was 734*22 dimensions and row 
names cannot have duplications. If you want numeric values, you need to strip 
off the first column:

> as.matrix(dta[ , -1])
  BMI_beta SAT_beta VAT_beta VSR_beta
1  0.23820 -0.02409  0.94180  0.24690
2 -0.31300 -1.97510 -2.22040 -0.23540
3  0.12380  0.40950  0.68050  0.05539
4  0.30350  0.48610  0.70830  0.01337
5 -0.00982  0.32930  0.01597 -0.04353

If you just want to print the character values without quotes:

> print(as.matrix(dta), quote=FALSE)
  Sub_Pathways  BMI_beta SAT_beta VAT_beta VSR_beta
1 Alanine_and_Aspartate  0.23820 -0.02409  0.94180  0.24690
2 Alanine_and_Aspartate -0.31300 -1.97510 -2.22040 -0.23540
3 Alanine_and_Aspartate  0.12380  0.40950  0.68050  0.05539
4 Alanine_and_Aspartate  0.30350  0.48610  0.70830  0.01337
5 Alanine_and_Aspartate -0.00982  0.32930  0.01597 -0.04353

But do not forget that they are still character strings.

Re: [R] remove quotes from matrix

2017-09-19 Thread Bert Gunter

Your  claims are false -- or at least confused.

> d <- data.frame(a = I(letters[1:3]), b = 1:3)
## the I() is to prevent automatic conversion to factor

> d
  a b
1 a 1
2 b 2
3 c 3
> dm <- as.matrix(d)
> dm
 a   b
[1,] "a" "1"
[2,] "b" "2"
[3,] "c" "3"
> dimnames(dm)
[[1]]
NULL

[[2]]
[1] "a" "b"

## Note that there are no rownames, as d had none.
> dm <- noquote(dm)
> dm
 a b
[1,] a 1
[2,] b 2
[3,] c 3

We still need a reprex to resolve the confusion.

Re: [R] remove quotes from matrix

2017-09-19 Thread Jeff Newmiller

Greg, I think you should stop using noquote, because it is doing something that 
will not be useful to you for preparing your data for analysis.

Please follow Duncan's advice and provide us with a sample of your data.  Also, 
please set your email program to send plain text rather than HTML formatted 
text.

Re: [R] remove quotes from matrix

2017-09-19 Thread greg holly

Hi Duncan and Bert;

I do appreciate for your replies. I just figured out that after x1=
noquotes(x) commend my 733*22 matrix returns into n*1 vector. Is there way
to keep this as matrix with the dimension of 733*22?

Regards,

Greg

Your help is greatly appreciated.




Matrices in R can have only one type.  If you start with a dataframe and 
any columns contain character data, all entries will be converted to 
character, and the matrix will be displayed with quotes.


When you say all values disappear, it sounds as though you are 
displaying strings containing nothing (or just blanks).  Those will be 
displayed as "" normally, but if the matrix is marked to display without 
quotes, they are displayed as empty strings, so it will appear that 
nothing is displayed.


You can see the structure of the original data using the str() function, 
e.g. str(x) should display types for each column.


If this isn't enough to explain what's going on, please show us more 
detail.  For example, show us the result of


y <- x[1:5, 1:5]
dput(y)

both before and after converting x to a matrix.

[R] remove quotes from matrix

Hi all;

I have data at 734*22 dimensions with rows and columns names are
non-numeric.When I convert this data into matrix then all values show up
with quotes. Then when I use
x1= noquotes(x) to remove the quotes from the matrix then non-numeric row
names remain all other values in matrix disappear.

Your help is greatly appreciated.
