Hello R people
I have a column of numeric values that are grouped in blocks of 25 and
to be centered and scaled within each block. (That is subtract the mean
and divide by the standard deviation.)
Is there a neater way to do this? i.e not using a loop?
Example looped code:
testdata<-1:100
csvalues<-NULL
for (i in 1:(length(testdata)/25)) {
st<-(i-1) * 25 + 1
sel<-st:(st+24)
selvals<-testdata[sel]
csvalues<-c(csvalues, scale(selvals, scale=sd(selvals)))
}
Thanks for any help.
