Hello everybody, I am new to R and I discovered something that suprise me
and I have a question about it.
Today I wanted to return a bit array which represents this:
if( arbitrary point above the line)
return TRUE
else
return FALSE
First I tought I would use for loop and access every element of the data.
Then I tend to use lapply function.
At the end, I accidently done that without using any if/else statement. (
or for loop ) Here is the code:
data <- data.frame(x= c(1,2,3,1,1,1), y = c(1,2,3,4,6,7))fin_hyp <-
list(slope=2,constant=1)outputs <- data['y'] > fin_hyp['slope'] *
data['x'] +fin_hyp['constant']outputs
What is R doing here? It is using loop somewhere inside? Is this code
more efficient than other methods I mentioned?
Thank you, I.S.
