Dear list
I have quite a small data set in which I need to have the following
values ignored - not used when performing an analysis but they need to
be included later in the report that I write.
Can anyone help with a suggestion as to how this can be accomplished
Values to be ignored
0 - zero and 1 this is in addition to NA (null)
The reason is that I need to use the log10 of the values when performing
the calculation.
Currently I hand massage the data set, about a 100 values, of which less
than 5 to 10 are in this category.
The NA values are NOT the problem
What I was hoping was that I did not have to use a series of if and
ifelse statements. Perhaps there is a more elegant solution.
Any ideas would be welcomed.
Regards
Steve
