How to replace values in a vector with values in the same vector in R?
The replacement of values in a vector with the values in the same vector can be done with the help of replace function. The replace function will use the index of the value that needs to be replaced and the index of the value that needs to be placed but the output will be the value in the vector.
Example1
> x1<-rpois(10,1) > x1
Output
[1] 3 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 2 1
Example
> replace(x1,c(10),x1[c(1)])
Output
[1] 3 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 2 3
Example2
> x2<-rpois(150,5) > x2
Output
[1] 5 1 4 2 3 4 2 4 5 3 6 2 2 5 4 9 12 3 6 4 7 4 4 4 4 [26] 6 4 6 2 1 6 5 1 6 7 6 8 7 5 0 3 6 2 3 5 2 3 7 8 8 [51] 6 4 5 3 3 4 6 7 4 5 5 2 6 5 6 6 8 2 5 4 2 4 5 7 4 [76] 6 5 4 4 6 12 4 7 3 5 1 4 6 6 4 1 5 4 2 4 3 5 3 7 4 [101] 9 4 4 5 4 4 5 7 4 3 6 7 3 3 3 6 7 2 7 8 4 4 3 7 10 [126] 2 5 8 3 9 5 9 4 6 7 10 2 4 7 5 7 5 5 2 5 3 7 5 6 6
