Sorry for jumping in. I haven't read the entire conversation. But imagine you
want to compute 1/x for the entire matrix and your matrix has 0s and NAs.
Then you could do:
##define function
f<-function(x){1/x}
##sample data
y=c(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,NA)
##arrange in matrix
mat=matrix(y,3,3)

Hi: If I remember correctly, I think I gave you something like mat[mat
== 0]<-NA. I think what you're doing below is pretty different from
that but I may not be understanding what you want ? Let me know if I can
clarify more because my intention was not to guide you
into doing below. Looping is
done at infinite precision, then x==0
may not work.

Thank you for all your replies.
Borrowing an alternative solution kindly provided by Mark Leeds, I am using
a conditional statement to pass non-zero values to a holding matrix that has
cells initially set to NA. The code is as follows:
##Code Start
mat_zeroless<-matrix(NA,5000,2000) #genera
FYI,
there is an isZero() in the R.utils package that allows you to specify
the precision. It looks like this:
isZero <- function (x, neps=1, eps=.Machine$double.eps, ...) {
(abs(x) < neps*eps);
}

The help page on binary operators (see ?"==") confirms that binary
representation of fractional representation is not catered for and
points to all.equal as a more suitable test method for those cases.

Integers (up to a fairly high limit) are represented exactly, as are fractions
whose denominator is a power of two (again up to a fairly high limit), so x==0
is fine in that sense.
If x is computed by floating point operations you do have to worry whether
these are exact, eg, with
x<-seq(-1
Hi,
since many suggestions are following the form of
x[x==0] (or similar)
I would like to ask if this is really recommended?
What I have learned (the hard way) is that one should not test for
equality of floating point numbers (which is the default for R's numeric
values, right?) since the bina

I have been reading this thread and I am having a hard interpreting
what these mean. I know that the result is that all of the values
that are zero in a are replaced by NA. Let me try and write it out
is.na(a[a==0] ) <- TRUE
you pull out of a all of the times that are equal to zero then is.na

Hi everyone,
I have a matrix that has a combination of zeros and NAs. When I perform
certain calculations on the matrix, the zeros generate "Inf" values. Is
there a way to either convert the zeros in the matrix to NAs, or only
perform the calculations if not zero (i.e. like using something simila
