[R] multiple peaks in data frame

[Gabor Grothendieck]

Here is a minor simplification of the last statement:

df <- data.frame(V1=c(23, 4, 56, 7, 99, 33))
interval <- 2
if (nrow(df) %% interval == 0) 
     apply(matrix(df$V1,interval),2,max)

I don't quite understand your English, but I'll take a stab at answering your question. If by "date" you mean "data" and by "peaks" "maxima," then

df <- data.frame(V1=c(23, 4, 56, 7, 99, 33))
interval <- 2
if (nrow(df) %% interval == 0) 
tapply(df$V1, rep(1:(nrow(df) / interval), each=interval), max)

might be what you need.

Hello, it wanted to know how I can extract of a dates frame the values 
peaks according to an interval that I
establish. For example if dates are: 
1 23
2 4
3 56
4 7
5 99
6 33
extract the date i wanted to divide into intervals of 2 an
d to take alone the numbers 23, 56 and 99 of those 3 intervals. Thanks
