Hi, Thanks again for your help with this. I would like to use a variation of this function in a similar dataset (numeric) with elements separated by a comma e.g.
dat <- read.table(tc <- textConnection( '0,1 1,3 40,10 0,0 20,5 4,2 10,40 10,0 0,11 1,2 120,10 0,0'), sep="") to simply calculate the frequency of the first number divided by the total number, i.e. x[1]/sum(x). to produce: [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [1,] 0 0.25 0.8 NaN [2,] 0.8 0.33 0.2 1 [3,] 0 0.33 0.92 NaN My actual dataset is an enormous file (800,000 rows and 100 columns). Any advice on how I can do this, maybe using gsubfn?
