Hi, I'm having trouble within my function CalcPos to get it to call CalcHorz with values from each row. I *think* it's calling CalcHorz with the final values of the inputs and not the values from each row. How can I do this properly in R?
The values aa,bb,cc,dd are inputs. CalcPos first calculates V1 and V2 vertically, and then I attempt to call CalcHorz to handle H1, H2 & H3 using a list L1 comprised of df[aa:V2]. I wanted that list to be the values on that row and disposed of each pass, but I think all calls are probably using the final values. Finally I use the returned values H1:H3 for more vertical calculations in V3. How can I get list L1 to be the unique row values for each call to CalcHorz? L1 would just be tossed when the call to CalcPos is complete. PLEASE - do not combine any of the inputs or return values. I need all of them aa through V3 and want to keep them separate. Thanks! Cheers, Mark CalcHorz = function (L1) { # Intended to calculate 3 values for each row H1 <- with(L1, V1*cc) H2 <- with(L1, V2*dd) H3 <- with(L1, H1 - H2) return(as.list(H1, H2, H3)) } CalcPos = function (df) { #calculate vertical initially df$V1 <- with(df, aa*bb) df$V2 <- with(df, aa*cc-dd) #At this point do 3 horizontal calculations #Goal is this is done for each row using #the values aa,bb,cc,dd,V1,V2 for that row L1 = as.list(df[1:dim(df)[2]]) R1 = as.list(with(df, CalcHorz(L1))) df$H1 <- R1[1] df$H2 <- R1[2] df$H3 <- R1[3] #Switch back to vertical df$V3 = with (df, cumsum(H3)) return(df) } DF <- data.frame(aa=1:12, bb=12:15, cc=1:3, dd=1:6) DF DF <- CalcPos(DF) DF ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
