Subject:[R] How to iteratively extract elements out of a list

 Dear List,
 
 The following code produces a list, which is what I what:
 
 set.seed(123)
 tmpf - function() {
 x - rpois(rpois(1,4),2)
 }
 n - 3
 m - replicate(n,tmpf())
 m
 
 [[1]]
 [1] 3 2 4
 
 [[2]]
 [1] 0 2 4 2 2 5 2
 
 [[3]]
 [1] 2 0 4 1 0
 
 
 Now I need something that would to extract iteratively (or as many
 times as the size of 'n') the values that are greater than 2 in each
 component of 'm' into another list such that the sub-list would be:
 
 [[1]]
 [1] 3 4
 
 [[2]]
 [1] 4 5
 
 [[3]]
 [1] 4
 
 Below is what I tried:
 
 for(i in 1:3)
 sub.list - lapply(m,subset,m[[i]]2)
 
  sub.list
 
 which gives me something different from what I want:
 
 [[1]]
 [1] 4
 
 [[2]]
 [1] 4
 
 [[3]]
 [1] 4
 
 Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [R] How to iteratively extract elements out of a list

2006-08-25 Thread xpRt.wannabe
Jim and Patrick,

Both of you made the same suggestion, which works great!

A follow-up question: Suppose I change the condition 'x2' in 'lapply'
to 'x4', as follows:

set.seed(123)
tmpf - function() {
x - rpois(rpois(1,4),2)
}
n - 3
m - replicate(n,tmpf())
m
sub.m - lapply(m, function(x)x[x4])  # was x2

As a result, I'd get:

 sub.m

[[1]]
numeric(0)

[[2]]
[1] 5

[[3]]
numeric(0)

However, what would I need to do such that 'sub.m' contains only the
non-zero length component; namely, the 'sub.m[[2]]'?  In essence, I'd
like to drop all the components of zero length such that 'sub.m'
results in:

My best effort was to use 'lapply' again:

lapply(sub.m, function(x)x[length(x)0])

which still gives me:

[[1]]
numeric(0)

[[2]]
[1] 5

[[3]]
numeric(0)

Again, any help would be greately appreciated.

p.s. Sorry to bug you again.   I should have thought through a little
more prior to composing an example that would represent all possible
scenarios.

Re: [R] How to iteratively extract elements out of a list

2006-08-25 Thread xpRt.wannabe
Yet another question:

Let's say I do the following:

set.seed(123)
tmpf - function(){
x - rpois(rpois(1,4),2)
}
n - 3
m - replicate(n, tmpf())
m
sub.m - lapply(m, function(x)x[x2])

'sub.m' gives me:

[[1]]
[1] 3 4

[[2]]
[1] 4 5

[[3]]
[1] 4

The question is:  What do I need to do such that I can extract
componets of length 2 in 'sub.m' into another sublist, which would
look like this:

[[1]]
[1] 3 4

[[2]]
[1] 4 5

I think that's all the questions I can think of -- for now.

Many, many thanks!!!

 Jim and Patrick,

 Both of you made the same suggestion, which works great!

 A follow-up question: Suppose I change the condition 'x2' in 'lapply'
 to 'x4', as follows:

 set.seed(123)
 tmpf - function() {
 x - rpois(rpois(1,4),2)
 }
 n - 3
 m - replicate(n,tmpf())
 m
 sub.m - lapply(m, function(x)x[x4])  # was x2

 As a result, I'd get:

  sub.m

 [[1]]
 numeric(0)

 [[2]]
 [1] 5

 [[3]]
 numeric(0)

 However, what would I need to do such that 'sub.m' contains only the
 non-zero length component; namely, the 'sub.m[[2]]'?  In essence, I'd
 like to drop all the components of zero length such that 'sub.m'
 results in:

 [[1]]
 [1] 5

 My best effort was to use 'lapply' again:

 lapply(sub.m, function(x)x[length(x)0])

 which still gives me:

 [[1]]
 numeric(0)

 [[2]]
 [1] 5

 [[3]]
 numeric(0)

 Again, any help would be greately appreciated.

 p.s. Sorry to bug you again.   I should have thought through a little
 more prior to composing an example that would represent all possible
 scenarios.

   Dear List,
  
   The following code produces a list, which is what I what:
  
   set.seed(123)
   tmpf - function() {
   x - rpois(rpois(1,4),2)
   }
   n - 3
   m - replicate(n,tmpf())
   m
  
   [[1]]
   [1] 3 2 4
  
   [[2]]
   [1] 0 2 4 2 2 5 2
  
   [[3]]
   [1] 2 0 4 1 0
  
  
   Now I need something that would to extract iteratively (or as many
   times as
   the size of 'n') the values that are greater than 2 in each component
   of
   'm' into another list such that the sub-list would be:
  
   [[1]]
   [1] 3 4
  
   [[2]]
   [1] 4 5
  
   [[3]]
   [1] 4
  
   Below is what I tried:
  
   for(i in 1:3)
   sub.list - lapply(m,subset,m[[i]]2)
  
sub.list
  
   which gives me something different from what I want:
  
   [[1]]
   [1] 4
  
   [[2]]
   [1] 4
  
   [[3]]
   [1] 4
  
   Any help would be appreciated.
