Say I have the following R data.frame ZZZ
:
( ZZZ <- structure(list(n = c(1, 2, NA), m = c(6, NA, NA), o = c(7, 8,
8)), .Names = c("n", "m", "o"), row.names = c(NA, -3L), class = "data.frame") )
## not run
n m o
1 1 6 7
2 2 NA 8
3 NA NA 8
I want to know, in the form of a vector, how many non-NAs I've got. I want the answer available to me as:
2, 1, 3
When I use the command length(ZZZ)
, I get 3
, which of course is the number of vectors in the data.frame, a valuable enough piece of information.
I have other functions that operate on this data.frame and give me answers in the form of vectors, but, dang-it, length doesn't operate like that.
colSums(!is.na(x))
Vectorisation ftw.
