Hi, suppose I have a matrix (or dataframe) as a result from subsetting. mat <- matrix(1:20,ncol=2) mat[c(3,6,9),] <- NA cc <- complete.cases(mat) sub <- mat[cc,,drop=FALSE] sub <- sub * 2 #some caluculations with sub. now I would like to expand sub somehow so row 3,6, and 9 would be filled with NAs but the rest should be in place again. Is there a simple function for this? merge is not an option. Thank you very much for your help.
You just need to calculate the original row numbers. For example, goodrows <- (1:nrow(mat))[cc] mat[goodrows,,drop=FALSE] <- sub Duncan Murdoch
