Hi all, there is a vector v with several NAs. I want to create a new vector n of the same length as v and the same NAs as in v and tried this: n <- vector(length=length(v), mode="numeric") replace(n, which(is.na(v)), NA) but this does't work, all values in n are 0. What went wrong?
You have to assign the result of the replacement, like in n <- replace(n, which(is.na(v)), NA) Or, somewhat simpler: n[is.na(v)] <- NA Cheers Kaspar Pflugshaupt
