Dear all,


I have a matrix, called newdata1,

> dim(newdata1)
[1] 34176    83

It looks like:

            EntrezID    Name      S1  S2   S3    S4 S5.....
1           4076       CAPRIN1  0.1  0.2   0.3...
2           139170    WDR40B  0.4  0.5   0.6...
3            5505    PPP1R2P1  0.3  0.3   0.7...
4            4076       CAPRIN1  0.7  0.3   0.2...
5           139170    WDR40B  null  0.8   0.4...
6           139170    WDR40B  null  null   0.75...


If there are rows whose "EntrezID" and "Name" are exactly the same,
I want to take the average for these rows.

There might be some 'null's in the data set. For example, there are
three rows of the same "EntrezID" and "Name" as 139170 and WDR40B.
For the sample called 'S1', there are three values, 0.4, null, null. For
this
scenario, I want to keep the final value as 0.4 For the sample 'S2', the
values
are 0.5, 0.8, null. For this, I want to ignore 'null', and take the average
of
0.5 and 0.8, the final value is (0.5+0.8)/2=0.65. For the sample 'S3', there
is no 'null', so just take the average as (0.6+0.4+0.75)/3=0.5833.

Can you show me how to do this?

I appreciate!

Best,
      Allen
