Find rows/columns using a predicate

Source: R/AllGenerics.R, R/detect.R
detect.Rd

Finds rows/columns in an array-like object using a predicate function.

Usage

detect(x, f, ...)

# S4 method for ANY,`function`
detect(x, f, margin = 1, negate = FALSE, all = FALSE)

Arguments

x

An object (should be a matrix or a data.frame).

f

A predicate function.

...

Currently not used.

margin

A vector giving the subscripts which the function will be applied over (1 indicates rows, 2 indicates columns).

negate

A logical scalar: should the negation of f be used instead of f?

all

A logical scalar. If TRUE, only the rows/columns whose values all meet the condition defined by f are considered. If FALSE (the default), only rows/columns where at least one value validates the condition defined by f are considered.

Value

A logical vector.

Examples

## Create a count data matrix
X <- matrix(sample(1:10, 25, TRUE), nrow = 5, ncol = 5)

## Add NA
k <- sample(1:25, 3, FALSE)
X[k] <- NA
X
#>      [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
#> [1,]   NA    5    7    8    8
#> [2,]    5    1   10    5   NA
#> [3,]    1    6    7    6    6
#> [4,]    3    2    7    2    7
#> [5,]   NA    6    6    6    1

## Count missing values in rows
count(X, f = is.na, margin = 1)
#> [1] 1 1 0 0 1
## Count non-missing values in columns
count(X, f = is.na, margin = 2, negate = TRUE)
#> [1] 3 5 5 5 4

## Find row with NA
detect(X, f = is.na, margin = 1)
#> [1]  TRUE  TRUE FALSE FALSE  TRUE
## Find column without any NA
detect(X, f = is.na, margin = 2, negate = TRUE, all = TRUE)
#> [1] FALSE  TRUE  TRUE  TRUE FALSE

## Keep row without any NA
keep(X, f = is.na, margin = 1, negate = TRUE, all = TRUE)
#>      [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
#> [1,]    1    6    7    6    6
#> [2,]    3    2    7    2    7
## Keep row without any NA
keep(X, f = is.na, margin = 2, negate = TRUE, all = TRUE)
#>      [,1] [,2] [,3]
#> [1,]    5    7    8
#> [2,]    1   10    5
#> [3,]    6    7    6
#> [4,]    2    7    2
#> [5,]    6    6    6

## Remove row with any NA
discard(X, f = is.na, margin = 1, all = FALSE)
#>      [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
#> [1,]    1    6    7    6    6
#> [2,]    3    2    7    2    7
## Remove column with any NA
discard(X, f = is.na, margin = 2, all = FALSE)
#>      [,1] [,2] [,3]
#> [1,]    5    7    8
#> [2,]    1   10    5
#> [3,]    6    7    6
#> [4,]    2    7    2
#> [5,]    6    6    6

## Replace NA with zeros
replace_NA(X, value = 0)
#>      [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
#> [1,]    0    5    7    8    8
#> [2,]    5    1   10    5    0
#> [3,]    1    6    7    6    6
#> [4,]    3    2    7    2    7
#> [5,]    0    6    6    6    1
