Hello again R-folks, I'm trying to apply a loop to multiple data frames and then organize the data in a manageable form. I have the code for my loop figured out (thanks to help from this list)...it runs up to 2000 iterations of a "while" loop until it finds a 40-row "d2p" column sum>5 n<-nrow(dsub.f1) test<-0 for(k in 1:2001){ if(k>2000){ break} #stops after 2000 iterations else{ while(test<5){ #continues unti sum>5, or 2000 iter. i<-sample(1:n-40,1) x<-dsub.f1[seq(from=i, to=i+40),] test<-sum(x[,"d2p"],na.rm=TRUE)} } }
I don't see much sense in the code above. Which of the objects are you interested in?
My data frames are all named dsub.f1 through dsub.f360 (and are subsets of a laster data frame "d") which I created using this code: for(i in 1:360){ assign(paste("dsub.f",d[d$fish==i,1],sep=""),subset(d[d$fish==i,]))}
I find it easier to put such things in a list as in: dsub.f <- split(d, d$fish)
I created a list of all my data frames using: df.filter<-function(x) inherits(get(x),'data.frame') #pulls all dataframes dfs<-Filter(df.filter,ls());str(dfs) dsubs<-dfs[3:360];head(dsubs) #removes "d" and "data.csv" dataframes that I don't want
This is not required since those data.frames are collected in one list (see above).
But I can't figure out how to write a "for" loop that will apply the (top) code above to each data frame.
Just write the code in a function athat assumes a data.frame as an argument and then sapply() it on your list of data.frames.
Best wishes, Uwe Ligges
Also, once I'm able to apply the loop to each data frame, I would like to organize the data in a manageable form so I can reference it in other analyses. I hope I explained what I'm trying to do well enough.
