[BioC] Concordance correlation coefficient and data manipulation

[James W. MacDonald]

Hi John,

How you remove things depends on what you want as your end result. If 
you want to remove all reporters that have an NaN or Inf then you would 
do something like this:

Assuming you have a data.frame or matrix called 'dat'

ind <- apply(dat, 1, function(x) any(is.nan(x)) || any(x == Inf))
dat <- dat[!ind,]

Will get rid of all rows with NaN or Inf in it.

Best,

Jim
