Hi,

 

I'm sort of a newbie to using R to deal with array data.  I'm trying to
create a simple filtering function, which outputs only the rows of a
data frame that satisfies a specific criterion.  I've set up an
iterative loop to apply the condition to each row.  I can create a new
matrix and use rbind to fill it in row by row in the loop, before
writing the whole matrix to file.  But it seems really inefficient,
especially considering my very large dataset.  In fact, I'm worried it
will cause memory problems if I run the function on the full data set.


 

Each row is from a data frame and is associated with a row name and a
column name.   I'm wondering if there's a way to write each row that
satisfy the condition to file within the iterative loop directly, while
keeping the data structure.  I've read the help on the 'cat' function;
but I'm still not entirely sure how to use it in my situation, or if it
is the correctly function to use.  Any advice will be greatly
appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Christina
