Dear all,
I have a dataset of four columns, and I wish to plot (as a scatter graph) the values of the third column where the values are greater than zero, and the fourth column.
I tried doing this via the plot command itself, but got into a bit of a mess (resulting in errors!). My dataframe is called 'January':
plot(January[3(>0):4])
Error: unexpected '>' in "plot(January[3(>"
After a few variations on this, I thought I'd try making a new object which includes all values from the third column of January>0 (to plot in a separate step) as follows:
JanFilter <- January[3]>0
No error here. However, when I display the 'values' of JanFilter, it shows that instead of keeping the numerical values, the above operation simply displays the results of the logical test:
head(JanFilter)
Value
[1,] FALSE
[2,] TRUE
[3,] TRUE
[4,] TRUE
[5,] TRUE
[6,] TRUE
This is obviously no good for plotting the numerical values on axes!
So my question is, how do I perform 'if' statements in order to filter out various parts of a dataset, for plotting on a graph.
Many thanks,
Steve
Ah that's great, thank you very much.
As a follow-on, in the same format, how would I plot where column 3 is greater than 0 *but also less than 2*?
Once again, any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

Try this:
plot(January[January[,3]> 0, 3:4])

Thanks again Henrique - that's really useful to know!

But these don't produce the right results (instead, errors!)
Again, I'm sure it's a just a small (but important) detail that I'm missing, and I'd be very grateful if anyone could help me out.
Many thanks again,
Steve

Use '&':
plot(January[January[,3]> 0 & January[,3] < 2, 3:4])
