Hi, I have a question concerning the selection of data. Let's say that given list h created below, I would like to select a section of the 1999 matrix. For a case (rownames and colnames) I would like to select the cells that have a value > 0. So for case 8025
8025 8026 8027 8025 1 1 1 8026 1 1 1 8027 1 1 1 And for case 8028 8028 8029 8028 1 1 8029 1 1 DF2 = data.frame(read.table(textConnection(" A B C 80 8025 1995 80 8026 1995 80 8029 1995 81 8026 1996 82 8025 1997 82 8026 1997 83 8025 1997 83 8027 1997 90 8026 1998 90 8027 1998 90 8029 1998 84 8026 1999 84 8027 1999 85 8028 1999 85 8029 1999"),head=TRUE,stringsAsFactors=FALSE)) e <- function(y) crossprod(table(DF2[DF2$C %in% y, 1:2])) years <- sort(unique(DF2$C)) f <- as.data.frame(embed(years, 3)) g<-lapply(split(f, f[, 1]), e) h<-lapply(g, function (x) ifelse(x>0,1,0))# These are the adjacency matrices per year h Thanks very much! -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Selecting-section-of-matrix-tp3744570p3744570.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
