Hi,
I have written the following function to check whether a vector has elements
satisfying monotonicity.
is.monotone <- function(vec, increase=T){
# check for monotonicity in time-stamp data for cortisol collection
ans <- TRUE
vec.nomis <- vec[!is.na(vec)]
if (increase & any(diff(vec.nomis,1) < 0, na.rm=T)) ans <- FALSE
if (!increase & any(diff(vec.nomis,1) > 0, na.rm=T)) ans <- FALSE
ans
}
This works correctly, but I get this error message as below.
> x <- 2:10
> is.monotone(x)
[1] TRUE
Warning messages:
1: the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used in:
if (increase & any(diff(vec.nomis, 1) < 0, na.rm = T)) ans <- FALSE
2: the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used in:
if (!increase & any(diff(vec.nomis, 1) > 0, na.rm = T)) ans <- FALSE
>
I am unable to see why the condition should have a length greater than 1,
since "any" should give me a single logical value.
Can any one tell me what is going on here? ( I am using version 2.1.1 on
Windows).
Thanks very much,
Ravi.
