[R] Automatically naming subsets in a for loop
Hello,
I'm trying to subet my data based on long/lat. I have written a for loop
however I am not sure how to get R to name all my subsets different things.
Here is my code so far...
for(i in 0:31){
latl=38+(i*1)
latu=39+(i*1)
for(j in 0:33){
longl=(-72)+(j*1)
longu=(-71)+(j*1)
G$i$j-subset(G, Latlatl Latlatu Longlongl Longlongu)
}
}
However this just freezes my computer.
Any help is appreciated!

Re: [R] Automatically naming subsets in a for loop
The standard way to do this is to use the cut function to define group
categories, and then manipulate data in lists of subsets using lapply function
and relatives. There are also tools such as the plyr package, data.table
package, sqldf package, and the new dplyr package.
If you want more explicit help, then you really need to read the posting guide
(e.g. no HTML email), and make a reproducible example (e.g. include some test
data and an example calculation, even if you have to do it the long way with no
loops).

Re: [R] Automatically naming subsets in a for loop
Here is one way by just truncating your data to integers based on what
you are doing:
# create some test data
n - 1000
G - data.frame(Lat = runif(n, 38, 50), Long = runif(n, -72, -65))
# add a 'key' for segment - based on truncating data
G$key - paste(as.integer(G$Lat), as.integer(G$Long), sep = :)
# number of unique keys
length(unique(G$key))
[1] 84
# split into segments
segs - split(G, G$key)
head(G, 20)
Lat Longkey

What is the problem that you are trying to solve?
Tell me what you want to do, not how you want to do it.
