[R] finding chuncks of data that have no NA s

2008-07-18 Thread stephen sefick
I have a data frame that is 122 columns and 7ish rows it is a zoo object, but could be easily converted or read in as something else. It is multiparameter multistation water quality data - there are a lot of NA s. I would like to find chuncks of data that are free of NA s to do some

na.contiguous.zoo() will return the longest stretch of non-NA data. Its a zoo method of the na.contiguous generic in the core of R. rle(!is.na(rowSums(coredata(z will find all stretches. On Fri, Jul 18, 2008 at 6:47 AM, stephen sefick [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a data frame that is 122

#how do I use the below, sorry for being unsavey. I would look for when value = FALSE meaning the there are no NAs and Then look for the longest value of continuous measurements (or lengths that I am comfortable with) correct? How do I subset my original data frame with this information? How do

It would be appreciated if you cut down your data to a minimal size before posting. At any rate, the ends are the cumsums of the lengths and the starts are lengths-1 before that, e.g. # data library(zoo) z - zoo(c(1, 2, NA, 3, 4, 5, NA, 6)) z - cbind(z, z) z.rle -

minimal, minimal, minimal, I will have to remind myself. contiguous.zoo - function(x) { z.rle - rle(!is.na(rowSums(coredata(x # row indexes ends - cumsum(z.rle$lengths) starts - ends - z.rle$lengths + 1 indexes - with(z.rle, data.frame(starts, ends, lengths, values)) indexes.sort -
