one way is the following: dat <- read.table(textConnection( "0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1" )) closeAllConnections()
k <- 3 ind <- rep(seq(1, nrow(dat)/k), each = k) rowsum(dat, ind) I hope it helps. Best, Dimitris kelvin lau wrote:
I have following data in a data.csv file separated by space 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 etc... I wish to calculate the sum of each column for certain number of rows. For example if I want sum of the data after each 3 rows, it should display 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 2 3 2 3 3 2 3 2 So far, this is what I have done xx<-read.table("data.csv",header=FALSE) ss<-t(apply(xx,2,sum)) # which displayed the sum of all rows I tried my best to look for solution on the Internet but so far haven't managed to find it. I am extremely grateful if someone can point me how to go about it. Thanks.
