I have a huge matrix and need to delete certain rows. What I need to do is:
1.In each row, calculate the sum of jth column and (J+2)th column
2. If the sum is greater than 2 then that row needs to be deleted.
I have a sample matrix and my codes here. It does remove some rows but when
it does, it skips the next row and each time it deletes a row, the dimension
changes so it gets out of bound. I tried to fix those problems but it did
not work. Any suggestions please? Thank you.
S1=c(2,2,2,2,2,2,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,
1,1,1,1,1,1,2,1,1,0,0,0,2,1,1,0,0,0,2,1,1,0,0,0,2,2,1,2,1,0,2,2,1,2,1,0,2,2,1,2,1,0);
SS=matrix(S1,nrow=18);
nr =dim(SS)[1];
nc =dim(SS)[2]/2;
nt=2;
ms=2;
for (i in 1:nr){
for (j in 1:nc){
#print(paste("Sum=",SS[i,j]+SS[i,j+nt]," ms=",ms));
if (SS[i,j]+SS[i,j+nt]> ms){
SS=SS[-i,]
nr=dim(SS)[1] #this doesn't update nr in the outer for loop. why?
print(nr) }
}
# i=i-1 #this doesn't help to avoid skipping rows
}
SS;
