Finding values in a dataframe at a specified hour
Update:
I have this so far. * The first column of windHW is the wind speed.
The 5th column of the dataframe, spring, is the 5*sigma value of every
hour. hourRow gives out all the rows of wind speed at a given hour.
for (i in 0:23){
hourRow = which(windHW$hour==i,arr.ind=TRUE)
for (h in hourRow){
if (windHW[h,1]>=spring[spring$hour==i,5]){
windHW[h,1]<-NA}
}
}
This then gives the error: Error in if (windHW[h, 1] >=
spring[spring$hour == i, 5]) { : argument is of length zero
*Note: The dataframe for each of the seasons have 24 rows
corresponding to each hour of the day 0:23.
Thanks,
Alexandra

Hello, I have a large dataframe (windHW) of wind speeds (ws) at each hour from many days over a set of years. Some of these values are obviously wrong (600 m/s) and I want to get rid of all the values that are larger than 5*sigma for each hour. The 5*sigma (variable name sigma5) values are located in different dataframes for each season, with each dataframe titled as a season. For example, in the dataframe, spring, the 5*sigma value is 79.6 m/s for hour 1. So my question is as follows: how can I get it so that the code will be able to find all the wind speed values in the dataframe, windHW, of a specific hour be higher than the 5*sigma value at that hour? For example, I would like to find if any of the wind speed values at hour 1 are higher than 79.6 m/s, and if so, then replace that value with NA. I have something like this but I can't seem to figure out how to get it for specific hours: windHW$ws[windHW$ws>=spring$sigma5] <- NA I imported the data using readLines and into the dataframe windHW. I also have R version 3.1.1 Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Alexandra
