[R] Ordering data by variable

2010-09-02 Thread Mestat
Hi listers, I could order a data that like this: x-c(2,6,8,8,1) y-c(1,6,3,5,4) o-order(x) frame-rbind(x,y)[,o] But, I would like to know if there is a way to order my data without setting up a data frame. I would like to keep independent vectors x and y. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Marcio

Re: [R] Ordering data by variable

Hi Marcio, Is this what you want? x - c(2,6,8,8,1) y - c(1,6,3,5,4) o - order(x) # If you want each vector order by x x[o] y[o] You can also use sort(), but then each vector would be sorted by itself, not both by x. HTH, Josh On Thu, Sep 2, 2010 at 1:48 PM, Mestat mes...@pop.com.br wrote:

Totally agreed. I made a mistake in calling the categorization a GAM. If we apply a step function to the continuous age we get a limited range ordinal variable. Categorizing is creating several binary variables from the continuous (with treatment contrasts). Stephen B -Original

Be happy, don't do post-hoc power analyses. The standard post-hoc power analysis is actually counterproductive. It is much better to just create confidence intervals. Or give a better description/justification showing that your case is not the standard/worse than useless version. -- Gregory

Suggestion: use the power of R. If x and y are independent then sorting y based on x is meaningless. If sorting y based on x is meaningful, then they are not independent. Trying to force non-independent things to pretend that they are independent just causes future headaches. Part of the
