How to replace 0 with NA in an R matrix?
To replace 0 with NA in an R matrix, we can use subsetting with single square brackets and then set zeros to NA.
For Example, if we have a matrix called M that contains some zeros then we can replace 0 with NA by using the command mentioned below −
M[M==0]<-NA
Example 1
Consider the matrix given below −
M1<-matrix(rpois(80,1),ncol=4) M1
The following dataframe is created
[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [1,] 0 0 0 1 [2,] 1 0 3 2 [3,] 2 1 0 1 [4,] 1 0 2 0 [5,] 0 2 0 5 [6,] 0 1 1 0 [7,] 0 1 1 2 [8,] 2 1 0 0 [9,] 4 0 1 1 [10,] 0 1 0 1 [11,] 0 1 1 4 [12,] 1 0 1 1 [13,] 2 0 3 2 [14,] 2 1 0 2 [15,] 4 1 0 4 [16,] 2 1 1 2 [17,] 1 3 2 2 [18,] 0 1 1 3 [19,] 1 1 2 1 [20,] 1 3 3 2
To replace 0 in M1 with NA on the above created data frame, add the following code to the above snippet −
M1<-matrix(rpois(80,1),ncol=4) M1[M1==0]<-NA M1
Output
If you execute all the above given snippets as a single program, it generates the following Output −
[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [1,] NA NA NA 1 [2,] 1 NA 3 2 [3,] 2 1 NA 1 [4,] 1 NA 2 NA [5,] NA 2 NA 5 [6,] NA 1 1 NA [7,] NA 1 1 2 [8,] 2 1 NA NA [9,] 4 NA 1 1 [10,] NA 1 NA 1 [11,] NA 1 1 4 [12,] 1 NA 1 1 [13,] 2 NA 3 2 [14,] 2 1 NA 2 [15,] 4 1 NA 4 [16,] 2 1 1 2 [17,] 1 3 2 2 [18,] NA 1 1 3 [19,] 1 1 2 1 [20,] 1 3 3 2
Example 2
Consider the matrix given below −
M2<-matrix(round(rnorm(60),0),ncol=3) M2
The following dataframe is created
[,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 1 0 1 [2,] -1 0 -1 [3,] -2 -1 1 [4,] -1 -1 0 [5,] -1 1 1 [6,] -2 0 0 [7,] -1 0 0 [8,] 0 0 0 [9,] 1 0 0 [10,] 0 0 -1 [11,] 0 1 -1 [12,] -1 -1 -2 [13,] -1 0 -1 [14,] -1 -1 1 [15,] 0 -1 0 [16,] 1 0 2 [17,] 0 1 1 [18,] 0 0 0 [19,] 0 1 1 [20,] -2 -1 -1
To replace 0 in M2 with NA on the above created data frame, add the following code to the above snippet −
M2<-matrix(round(rnorm(60),0),ncol=3) M2[M2==0]<-NA M2
Output
If you execute all the above given snippets as a single program, it generates the following Output −
[,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 1 NA 1 [2,] -1 NA -1 [3,] -2 -1 1 [4,] -1 -1 NA [5,] -1 1 1 [6,] -2 NA NA [7,] -1 NA NA [8,] NA NA NA [9,] 1 NA NA [10,] NA NA -1 [11,] NA 1 -1 [12,] -1 -1 -2 [13,] -1 NA -1 [14,] -1 -1 1 [15,] NA -1 NA [16,] 1 NA 2 [17,] NA 1 1 [18,] NA NA NA [19,] NA 1 1 [20,] -2 -1 -1
