Hello, may I ask a further question?
I have realized that "data <- matrix(scan("file-name"), ncol=29)" will read the data differently than I thought, i.e., (4,1) is the first column, (17,1) is the second column, and (1,1) is the third and so on by this code - please see the data below. Therefore, the data set I have would not be in order if I used this code. It needed to be read as: (4.4) first column, (1,1) the second column, and (17, 17) is the third and so on (i.e., from 4 to 0.5611 makes the first row and another 4 to 0.5611 makes the second row and so on). So, V1 V2 V3 ... V29 4 1 17 ... 0.5611 4 1 17 ... 0.5611 was needed. (Now I have , V1 V2 V3 .... V29 4 17 1 ... 0.6578 1 1 -5.1536 ... 0.5611) [The data set I have may have around 1000 sets of them (29 variables times around 1000 sets of these 29 variables). I only paste here two sets of them.] 4 1 17 1 1 -5.1536 -0.1668 -2.3412 -0.5062 0.9621 0.3640 0.3678 -0.5081 -0.2227 0.8142 -0.0389 -0.0445 -0.0578 -0.1175 -0.1232 0.8673 -0.1033 -0.0796 -0.0341 -0.1716 -0.1801 -0.7014 0.6578 0.5611 4 1 17 2 1 -5.1536 -0.1668 -2.3412 -0.5062 0.9621 0.3640 0.3678 -0.5081 -0.2227 0.8142 -0.0389 -0.0445 -0.0578 -0.1175 -0.1232 0.8673 -0.1033 -0.0796 -0.0341 -0.1716 -0.1801 -0.7014 0.6578 0.5611 I need 29 columns. This is true. But the data was read differently by "ncol=29". Is there any way I can handle this problem by R? I would very appreciate it if you could let me know. My guess is that I should probably rearrange the data set by excel etc.. I have used "data.entry(data)" and found this. I can not analyze this data set. Thank you very much, in advance.
