rmNA function

remove NA values

rmNA(
  x,
  naValue = NULL,
  rmNULL = FALSE,
  nullValue = naValue,
  rmInfinite = TRUE,
  infiniteValue = NULL,
  rmNAnames = FALSE,
  verbose = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

• x: vector input
• naValue: NULL or single replacement value for NA entries. If NULL, then NA entries are removed from the result.
• rmNULL: logical whether to replace NULL entries with nullValue
• nullValue: NULL or single replacement value for NULL entries. If NULL, then NULL entries are removed from the result.
• rmInfinite: logical whether to replace Infinite values with infiniteValue
• infiniteValue: value to use when rmInfinite==TRUE to replace entries which are Inf or -Inf.
• rmNAnames: logical whether to remove entries which have NA as the name, regardless whether the entry itself is NA.
• verbose: logical whether to print verbose output
• ...: additional arguments are ignored.

Returns

vector with NA entries either removed, or replaced with naValue, and NULL entries either removed or replaced by nullValue.

Details

This function removes NA values, by default shortening a vector as a result, but optionally replacing NA and Infinite values with fixed values.

Examples

# by default it removes NA, shortening the vector
rmNA(c(1, 5, 4, NA, 10, NA))

# convenient to replace NA with a fixed value
rmNA(c(1, 5, 4, NA, 10, NA), naValue=0)

m <- matrix(ncol=3, 1:9)
m[1, 2] <- NA;
rmNA(m, naValue=-1)

# by default NA and Inf is removed
rmNA(c(1, 5, 4, NA, 10, NA, Inf, -Inf))

# NA and Inf can be replaced, note Inf retains the sign
rmNA(c(1, 5, 4, NA, 10, NA, Inf, -Inf), naValue=0, infiniteValue=100)
