R `summary` when not all cells have data -
is there argument in summary
(or command) force r calculate values when there "no data" in every cell?
in questionnaire subjects did not provide information; , cells entered -nodata-
. cells answer not applicable (based on previous question in q.) entered -1
. summary
looks this:
> summary(qs$esc) -1 -nodata- 0.5 1 12 15 3 49 3 1 1 1 1 1
what want calculated summary. there way tell r disregard -nodata-
, -1
?
i don't understand kind of summary want compute.
if use na instead of "-nodata-" , "-1" codes, automatically taken account when using summary
function :
for example :
r> v <- c(na, na, 0.5, 1, 12, 15, 3) r> summary(v) min. 1st qu. median mean 3rd qu. max. na's 0.5 1.0 3.0 6.3 12.0 15.0 2.0 r> table(v) v 0.5 1 3 12 15 1 1 1 1 1
you can see here v
considered numeric, there no string value in it. when introduce "-nodata-" value treated either character or factor variable.
you can use exclude
argument of table
function automatically ignore values :
r> v <- c(-1, "-nodata-", 0.5, 1, 12, 15, 3) r> table(v) v 0.5 1 -1 12 15 3 -nodata- 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 r> table(v, exclude=c(-1, "-nodata-")) v 0.5 1 12 15 3 1 1 1 1 1
