I've been trying to figure out why the following is happening.... I've got some data I'll load in from a file...
rm(list=ls(all=TRUE)) trees <- read.table( "c:/cruisepak/data.txt", header=T) trees$ct <- 1 And when I create some temp variable, then split the data to perform further processing, the additional column doesn't maintain the data correctly.... mtrees <- trees[trees$m == 1,] ctrees <- trees[trees$m == 0,] The results are as follows... > trees plot tree m sp dbh tht ct 1 1 1 1 DF 44 185 1 3 1 3 0 DF 40 192 1 .....blah, blah, blah...... 6 1 6 0 DF 26 156 1 8 1 8 0 DF 26 155 1 but, >mtrees plot tree m sp dbh tht ct 1 1 1 1 DF 44 185 1 2 1 2 1 DF 38 188 NA 17 2 6 1 DF 26 174 NA 26 3 1 1 DF 42 185 NA and >ctrees > ctrees plot tree m sp dbh tht ct 3 1 3 0 DF 40 192 NA 4 1 4 0 DF 33 148 NA 5 1 5 0 DF 43 182 NA when the value of ct for all the records in all the data.frames should be 1, not NA. Why is that? Am I missing a step here? I'm running R 1.7.1 on Win2k. Jeff. --- Jeff D. Hamann Forest Informatics, Inc.
