Hello Mr. Burns, Hello Mr. Dwinseminus

David, the "input" data.frame is the result of the reshape-command I
performed. I just copied it from the R-console into the e-mail. In fact
the first column "video" is not part of the data, but needed for
analysis with kappam.fleiss function of the irr-package. Sorry, you are absolutely correct, I should have mentioned this in my question. I will
improve when I ask my next question :-).


I have not yet picked up facility with reshape. Is there a method using reshape to take its screen output and return a dataframe?

If I understand properly, you want

input[, -c(1, ncol(input))]

rather than

input[[, -c(video, 21)]]

Dear R-colleagues,

another question from a newbie: I am creating a lot of simple
pivot-charts from my raw data using the reshape-package. In these charts
we have medical doctors judging videos in the columns and the videos
they judge in the rows. Simple example of chart/data.frame "input" with
two categories 1/0:

video 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21

I recently learned, that I can easily create a confusion matrix out of
this data using the following commands:

pairs<- data.frame(pred=factor(unlist(input[2:21])),ref=factor(input[,22]))

pred<-pairs$pred
ref <- pairs$ref
library (caret)
confusionMatrix(pred, ref, positive=1)

- where column 21 is the reference/goldstandard.

My problem is now, that I analyse data.frames with an unknown count of
columns. So to get rid of the first and last column for the "pred"
variable and to select the last column for the "ref" variable, I have to look at the data.frame before doing the above commands to set the proper
column numbers.

It would be very comfortable, if I could address the last column not by
number (where I have to count beforehand) but by a variable "last
column".

Probably there is a more easy solution for this problem using the names of the columns as well: the reference is always number "21" the first
column is always called "video". So I tried:

attach(input)
pairs<-data.frame(pred=factor(unlist(input[[,-c(video, 21)]])),ref=factor(input[[21]]))


which does not work unfortunately :-(.

I'd be very happy in case someone could help me out, cause I am really
tired of counting - there are a lot of tables to analyse...

Cheers and greetings from Munich,
Felix
