Hello, after the creation of a data.frame I like to add NAs as follows: n <- 743; x <- runif(n, 1, 7); Y <- runif(n, 1, 7); Ag6 <- runif(n, 1, 7); df <- data.frame(x, Y, Ag6); # a list with positions: v <- apply(df, 2, function(x) sample(n, sample(1:ceiling(5*n/100), 1), repl=F)); # a loop too much? for (i in 1:length(df)){ df[unlist(v[i]), i] <- NA; } summary(df);
This works fine but it appears to me that there is a more elegant and simple way -- which one?
