Hi, here i have a Max and Min values Min <-3 Max <-6 and also a matrix like this,
ABC XYZ PQR ------ ------- ------- 2 4 3 5 4 8 7 1 3 In this i need to check each particular column values are between Max and Min value. If the coulmn value not coming between Max and Min, then i need to create another coulmn by adding column name header with "_QF". and assign a string like "RC" for that particular row. For eg:- i need to checkout coulmn "ABC". Here 2,5,6 are the values we need to checkout with Min,Max values. and here Min <-3,Max <-6 First need to create a new column called "ABC_QF" with current matrix. ABC XYZ PQR ABC_QF ------ ------- ------- ----------- 2 4 3 RC 5 4 8 7 1 3 Next, for 5 , it coming in between 3 to 6. so nothing to do. ABC XYZ PQR ABC_QF ------ ------- ------- ----------- 2 4 3 RC 5 4 8 7 1 3 Next, for 7 , its not coming in between 3 to 6. so put "RC" ABC XYZ PQR ABC_QF ------ ------- ------- ----------- 2 4 3 RC 5 4 8 7 1 3 RC ----------------------------------------------------------- This is the requirement. i did it using for-loop,it will check each value and it taking time when bulk of data come. Any hope to do using lappy,appy kind of functions ? Because at a time complete coulmn should get update. Could you please help me urgently ? - Thanks Antony. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Column-create-and-Update-using-function-tp4636400.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.
