Hi, The data is indeed very confusing. It has four column names and five columns. Assuming that zFEI is for fifth column, the fourth column is "Unknown1".
dat2<-read.table(text=" sequence weight rsat. Unknown1 zFEl 1 CTTTTCTTGTT 4.6 0.00058 -7.452 3.237 2 ACTTTGAGGTG 4.1 0.00077 -7.169 3.114 3 GTCTTGAACTC 4.8 0.00055 -7.506 3.260 4 GCTTTGAAGAA 6.6 0.00019 -8.568 3.721 5 GCTTTCAACAT 7.0 0.00014 -8.874 3.854 6 TCCTTGTTCAT 3.5 0.00099 -6.918 3.004 ",sep="",header=TRUE) dat3<-aggregate(dat2$zFEl,by=list(dat2$sequence),quantile,probs=c(0.5,0.8,0.9)) dat4<-as.matrix(data.frame(dat3[,1],unlist(dat3[,2]))) colnames(dat4)<-NULL dat5<-lapply(seq_len(nrow(dat4)),function(i) dat4[i,]) > dat5 [[1]] [1] "ACTTTGAGGTG" "3.114" "3.114" "3.114" [[2]] [1] "CTTTTCTTGTT" "3.237" "3.237" "3.237" [[3]] [1] "GCTTTCAACAT" "3.854" "3.854" "3.854" [[4]] [1] "GCTTTGAAGAA" "3.721" "3.721" "3.721" [[5]] [1] "GTCTTGAACTC" "3.260" "3.260" "3.260" [[6]] [1] "TCCTTGTTCAT" "3.004" "3.004" "3.004" The results I guess is fairly closer to the form you want to store as a list.

Hello, Your data is a mess, with more columns than column names. Use # 20 to 100 dput(head(comb.data, 30)) # paste the output of this in a post. Anyway, it seems that what you want is (untested) aggregate(zFEl~sequence, data=comb.data, quantile, probs=c(0.5,0.8,0.9), na.rm=T) Hope this helps, Rui Barradas Em 28-06-2012 15:10, sureshraj escreveu: > Hi freind, > My data seems to be like , and data frame name is comb.data > sequence weight rsat. zFEl > 1 CTTTTCTTGTT 4.6 0.00058 -7.452 3.237 > 2 ACTTTGAGGTG 4.1 0.00077 -7.169 3.114 > 3 GTCTTGAACTC 4.8 0.00055 -7.506 3.260 > 4 GCTTTGAAGAA 6.6 0.00019 -8.568 3.721 > 5 GCTTTCAACAT 7.0 0.00014 -8.874 3.854 > 6 TCCTTGTTCAT 3.5 0.00099 -6.918 3.004 > > So I need to use aggregate function based on sequence > column(by=list(comb.data$sequence) for zFE column and I should need to store > those results in lists..so result would be like > [[1]] > CTTTTCTTGTT 2.3758 3.237 > [[2]] > ACTTTGAGGTG 1.78977 -5.11768684 > [[3]] > GTCTTGAACTC 1.987455 1.260 > [[1]] > GCTTTGAAGAA 1.019 0.72541 > [[4]] > GCTTTCAACAT 0.0423 3.865754 > ...so I made a code like this,,but i am facing some bugs as i mentioned > before,,could you please help to solve this one??I hope now you understand > my query... > > the code is > "data <- lapply(comb.data$zFE, function(x) > aggregate(x,by=list(comb.data[["sequence"]]), quantile, > probs=c(0.5,0.8,0.9), na.rm=T)) " > > > Thanks,, > > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/How-can-I-make-a-list-using-aggregate-function-tp4634714p4634764.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. > ______________________________________________ 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. ______________________________________________ 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.
